Introduction
Posted: Wed Apr 10, 2013 10:59 pm
Thought I had introduced myself back in 2011 when I first posted but could not find it, so he goes. Live near Chicago, IL USA have owned a Porsche since graduating college in 1979, first car was a 1973 914 2.0 in Signal Orange. Since I was very poor in the early years I had to drive this 914 year round and it met its death on a snow cover street two years later. I have owned 4 914's and 3 early 911's, currently own a '74 2.0 914 and '71 911 Targa. I love all vintage Porsches and enjoy hunting down parts to make my cars even better, I do drive my cars (even in winter time) as long as the roads are dry. I spend way too much time on the early911sregistry now and if I expanded to this site it would turn into 24/7. I do occasionally post for sale parts here because I know people here (like the early911s site) are always looking for good early parts. I have recently bought some parts from "Marek" I think he is a regular on this site, very nice man and a tribute to the early cars with his reproduction parts.
I also spend a lot of time on the golf course playing off of a handicap of 3. Have traveled several times to Scotland and Ireland to play their wonderful golf courses and have met some wonderful people over a couple of pints. My 2 children are now out of college and employed so my income can now be directed to getting my cars in top shape or maybe even acquire another one.
Hope I did not offend anyone with my recent FS post in the used parts, that was not my intent. I will try to be more of a contributor going forward. I attached a couple of pictures of my cars to enjoy. Thanks!
