just saying hello
hi,
I have been a long term lurker on here, having been active on a number of other forums it seemed about time I signed up here...
I have a small collection of air-cooled 911's, historically I had a number of early cars before working my way up to mainly 993's and have to admit to being a serial restorer within the 993 generation, having built or had built Rs replica's and a GT2 build along with a string of upgraded 993's.
The next project will be a long nose back date, but built using a 993 as the base car, rather than the well trodden path of using a 964, so hoping to kick that off next year, once the "Black Snake" sells which is currently on SOR in London.
one point to say is thanks to all who post on here, it's always a great source of inspiration and knowledge.

Re: just saying hello
Yes the Black Snake is an interesting piece of Porsche history, 993 RS converted to 4 wheel drive Turbo.
A Ring lap record holder back in the day when things were all manual with no driver aids.
utterly immense driving experience, yet surprisingly docile on the road.
A rear "one of one" and with Joe Macari or sale.

Hi and welcome to DDK.
You and your car sound very familiar for some reason - were you in Titanic / trackdays scene many years back?
