I hope you have decent home security :lol:
2 Dobermans and over 100 Guns! We Americans do love our guns :)

Seriously though, the expensive stuff over a can't afford to lose it threshold are in safe deposit boxes at the bank. I haven't seen some of my watches in over 8 years. They just sit there resting. A crime to some but I have my favorites that I wear and the rest are just retirement fodder.

I really do not like any kind of change. Things I absolutely hate to change are Diapers, Tires and Quo I have been known to pick up loose change, possibly beg for a little change ( .25) and am an expert at changing a keg.

Welcome Randy.
Many years ago, when I was barely weaned, my first employer foolishly sent me to the US of A to work on a project. I remember the main customer was called Randy Seal. Still can't get that picture out of my head.

Surely we need pics of everything? Isn't that the DDK rule? I'd like to see the '65 normale, please.
Don't worry, posting pics is really easy. Nobody ever has any trouble.

And you said that with a straight face; amazing!
In reality, he'll need to link to photos already posted on the Early S Reg.

Hi Inaglass, Nice to meet you. When I tell you my last name you are going to want proof of what my mother was smoking on the day. When I was doing business internationally as a buyer, I literally had to use a Pseudonym in every British colonized country in the world or everyone would think the request for the multimillion dollar lease or purchase was an absolute joke. Ha Ha funny who's trying to rub my jimmy the wrong way. So in the Crown world I was Robert Brown until I established a relationship and then when I broke the news to my New found friends they all wanted to buy my American Express card to flash in the Pubs. (true story)

I do think I need a tutorial from my IT guy on getting photos to stick using a Mac. My first attempt posting a pic of the Normale looked something like blah blah blah.JPG Anyway Vin 1035 is approaching her rebirth day coming up in March this year Fingers crossed and sacrifice a chicken she will be taken apart to start a restoration. I will post before during and after photos. She is a 100% matched numbers virtually rust free example (a couple of pin holes is about it. An April 65 car purchased in Stuttgart and shipped home to California, Santa Monica to be exact Per Kardex she hit 100K Km in 1967. She was then sold to another owner in Santa Monica per Kardex. 3rd owner who I purchased the car from moved to Phoenix Arizona (even more dry than So cal) and then moved back to Huntington Beach Calif. I bought it out of his garage on a driveby. He wanted to buy a boat. His wife was jumping up and down seeing the car go away. She wanted a boat? :) Car is currently a canary yellow but should be a Bali Blau Schwartz car which she will be soon.

Enough chatter.

Sincerely

Randy Dickey

Really? That bad Huh?
I can't say that I have posted pictures of the Normale on 911s Registry. I have personally showed pictures to Frank beck when I was in his shop in Scottsdale but I don't think I have splattered photo trail for the wolves to track me down. As you know we have hit a soft spot in the Porsche frenzy (which I believe is short lived) but when I bought the car a year and a half ago the rumor mill frenzy got me 2 - 6 phone calls a day asking me if it was true and was the car for sale. I of course laughed in surprise and said they were barking up the wrong tree. Now that it has settled down I will try to get a photo to squeeze through.
