Say hi and introduce yourself.

There seem to be some "regulars" on the list. Admittedly, I am becoming one more increasingly every day. I have sort of gotten to know a couple of you, so...let's make the "Say hi and introduce yourself to the list" thread. Realizing some like to remain anonymous, obviously this is completely optional.

Hey Dead-Eye, what are you planning to do with the Sparco seats that you're replacing? By the way, I have some Belt Harness info for you.

Nah...the last one was a show off your car thread. I would say this one is more personal. Who knows...maybe down the road we can have a East / West gathering of Rennlist 996 junkies. Chad

I hear that a bunch of Rennlisters are heading to Hershey in late April for the swap-meet. Is anyone going from this forum? By the way, I still love the first generation Aero kit on your kit the most. I had a 1999 996 C2 with Aero kit in black and it was awesome looking once it was lowered.

That isn't quite the picture... Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet up at CES, that place was such a zoo. Next year!

Well of you I mean. The imposter pic was quite the discussion starter Totally agree with you on the zoo atmosphere. See you at the next CES!

Yes, indeed it was. Kirby...he is such a joker! I look forward to the next one, I hope to venture out a bit more. I didn't get but about an hour the entire four days to check things out, which was disappointing. Next year we should plan a big dinner for those in the area. Kirby and I hit a great sushi place at Paris one of the nights.

Good ole Kirb, always up to no good We will definately have to plan a group outing at the next CES (or anytime there is something in Vegas many will be coming to). Do you remember the name of the sushi place at Paris? Don't like going down to the strip (avoid ing tourists) at all but for a good sushi place it might be worth the trip.

Yep...that was from my rookie debut at Sebring in SPEED World Challenge Touring in '03. Started 33rd, finished 25th (tough series!). I've only managed 2 races there (Lime Rock was the other), but I'm trying to put a program together for an E46 for at least the West Coast events this year (Laguna, Infineon, Portland, and possibly Denver). I also run a car called a Saker for it's manufacturer in the NASA West Coast Endurance races. I'd love to race Porsches but just haven't made the right connection yet.

Robyn, I remember you from Porsche Pete's Boxsterboard, I guess we both upgraded. Gee that 996 is pretty subtle...

Thank you very kindly!

We certainly did, didn't we! (And I remember you as well, Bob.) One of the best things I have done was to upgrade to the Carrera, I am more than pleased with the move.

Hi, my name is Kevin. I live in Atlanta, GA. I drive a '99 C2 Cab. I have been on Rennlist only briefly, as I upgraded from a Boxster to my Cab last spring.

Contact Jennifer ([email removed]) and she will get your membership status squared away. As for the car. Great choice in color! Mine is the same combo....arena red, graphite grey interior, black top.

Hi Robyn, How's the SC? Any chance of you coming over to the east coast for some drive time with the Atlanta Peeps?

I drive a 99 Iris Blue C4 Cab and the other 3 cars in my signature (I have yet to SELL a Porsche). Been on Rennlist for a few years, used to visit some of the Boxster boards many years ago. I am married to a very understanding woman who "understands" (tolerates?) my passion for cars. When I am not serving my country, I work for a patriotic PC company that supports the Troops better than anyone. I enjoy spending time with the Mrs, golfing, and supporting my Boston teams. When in uniform, I am a Signal (Communications) Officer (and former Drill Sergeant) and Commander of a training unit. If you keep your eyes peeled on Parade magaizine in April, you will probably find out a lot more about me. Below are some pics of the cars, as well as a few from Iraq in 2003.

We salute you Eric...cheers pal! Chad

Here here Eric, ditto what Chad said. My wife is an USAF Doctor but would never see the warzone. She spends her times "fixing" the guys that make it back to the states with "injuries". Not a day goes by that I am not proud to have a wife that serves our country.

Hi, my name is Myk I live in Irvine, CA I drive a 2002 C4S I have been on the Rennlist for 2.5 years I enjoy anything car related, hanging out with the family I work as an industrial designer

Howdy gang, I'm brand new to this forum, although I've been a Rennlister for a little over 3 years. My name is Marc, and, yes, I live in Montreal. I drive a 2005 Audi A4 (daily driver), and just acquired a black 2002 C2 Coupe to replace my poor lost 964 C2 (stolen in early November/04, now probably living in Russia). Only problem is that, with the weather here, I can't drive it for another 6-7 weeks! ARRRGGGGHHHH! I like fast cars, slow blues, and good guitars. Also love to travel, having been to about 40 countries on 6 continents (business and pleasure). Started out at Jim Russell in 1978, raced FF1600s with them in 1979 & 1980, then took a (too) long hiatus until I bought my 964 in December, 2001. Do some PCA DE events at the fabulous (rebuilt) Le Circuit Mont Tremblant whenever possible. I work as an industrial food sales executive. Enjoy your cars, gang! Marc

Hey Marc. You'll love the 2002 C2. Looking forward to seeing you at Tremblant this summer.

Hi, Bob here, I live in Toronto and work from here and Accrington U.K. We have a business as engineers in hydraulic tooling for robotic submarines. I am 53 and probably one of the oldest amateur boxers around these parts. We enjoy boating on Georgian Bay cruising up through the north channel islands which makes up most of the summer activities while winter is mainly travel and some skiing.

Do you track your car Bob?

Alon, Not yet and I have to admit I am kinda nervous about bending it or someone else's. I'd like to at least come out and see what happens though. You guys have plans?

Go to www.pca.org/ucr for track info if you're a new or potential track driver. Other than the PCA (the safest way to track in the beginning), there are other schools ( www.dexterautosport.com and www.carcontrolschool.com ) for example. Come on, you won't bend it or anyone else's car if you attend some good, controlled and well organized events. Ian Law's program ( www.carcontrolschool.com ) offers great courses from in-class to parking lot and then Shannonville (safe track to drive).

Ah, reitirement. Looks pretty good to me alright. Nice going Don, looks like you have done alright with your life. ERIC: God bless you and watch over you. And... thank you for defending our freedom and helping to spread it to a region of the world that has been in dire need of it.

Gary Live and work in NY I drive a TT that I just bought about a month ago I'm a corporate lawyer I love Don's houses and cars I was fortunate enough to visit Ferrari last summer in Italy, and was taken for a few laps around the test track in an Enzo. My heart was still pounding when this pic was taken. (And the smile was still plastered to my face )

Hi, my name is Ed. I live in Elk Grove, CA. I'm married, have 3 boys and 2 chihuahua "mixes". I drive an '87 Carrera and a '99 Carrera. I've been a Porsche freak for 35 years and a rennlist member for about a year. I'm a lawyer. And I REALLY want mnmblu to photograph my cars !!!

Hey Gary, my wife and I were in Italy this past May and did a factory tour along with the museum and track. I have to admit that no matter how much I've always loved Porsches, the hairs on my arm stood on end when I was there. Great picture, great story. Did you buy one of those 360 Modena Pistons at the Ferrari store for something ridiculous like 300 Euros?

Alon: The factory store was SUCH a rip off, you're right. I bought my kids the little red Ferrari hats, but that's it. All in all, an amazing place, though. Wouldn't mind being a Ferrari test driver for a few months!

Yes, just being around all of the old tools and everything impressed me. I've got some good pictures of the all the workers going on lunch break and heading over to the little restaurant, all wearing red uniforms. It looked like a huge F1 support team. The pride that they fell is so obvious. That whole area is electric. By the way, if you're ever after any of those Ferrari or other F1 related goodies, check out www.collectorstudio.com The owner, Morry, is a friend and neighbour of mine and he has many US customers (he's much better than that store on Park Ave and 49th.).

I enjoy cars, fishing, and not working on my house. I work as a senior IT consultant. I'm currently saving up for the next Porsche, though it looks like the $$$ may go towards kids instead if my wife gets her way...

You guys can't wait to retire....I tried that....made it 3 years.....I guess it depends on how much fun your career is??? Mine is music, and as long as there's opportunity, I guess I'll stay with it!!!

Andre, I read that there are 70 linear miles of gridlock in Sao Paolo every afternoon at rush hour...How's your clutch foot?

Marc, Outstanding vehicle that your wife has! It's on my wish list but most likely not until next year, and then one that someone has broken in for me (would LOVE new). Between that and the Porsche SUV, I'm going for that one and I'll be done with the Audi. I picked up on the two Jack Russels (5 & 7)you have and I have two males myself. Very intelligent creatures and a bit naughty at times. Actually, we're the only three dogs in the house, the rest or ladies. Interesting and fun breed, not to mentioned the terrific 996. Gerardo

Hi, my name is Kris. I live in Moraga, CA. Surprised how close I live to many other Rennlisters here. I am sure I drive by Kirby's place a couple times a week, which is the best commute in the US. I drive a 99 C2 Cab, Yukon Denai XL, Acura RL and a Ski Centurion. I have been on the Rennlist for about a year. I enjoy wakeboarding and water skiing, golf, diving, home electronics, and spending time with my family. I work as a CPA for a regional accounting firm in San Francisco. I am 40 years old and have a wife of 18 years and an 8 year old boy and 5 year old girl. Looking forward to taking some weekends off and would like to participate in a Bay Area drive and get to know some of the members here sometime before the year is over. I have really got alot out of this board and will join soon. This is my first Porsche and I love it. I may also have some kind of record for mileage as I put 2,000 miles on it in the first 2-1/2 days I owned the car. Kris

Kris, I think we tie because my first days in the 911 were a drive from NY to FL!

My name is Andrew, 32 years old, single and live in Long Island NY. I drive a 2000 C4 (with a few mods-fabspeed exhaust, air intake kit...) Been on Rennlist for a few months Lifelong porsche fan (I used to have to SIT in the back seat of my dads in the 70's...) I enjoy cooking, drinking vino, traveling, my ipod... I also enjoy driving my 88 Toyota landcruiser FJ62, what a truck! I'm VP of a NY based wine importer/distributor (Hi to all you wine lovers out there...) Here's a pic of my car, yes I drove the right one that day! AWD, snow tires, no problem!

gonz 911, You're dead right on the JRT. They are more work than both of my kids. We live in the country and they are usually bouncing up and down like yo-yo's trying to get out to chase some squirrels or birds. As far as the Westminster (aka The Tank) I can tell you that it's an outstanding vehicule with only one shortcoming...the NAV system in crap at best, useless in most case. It always picks wrong route and is very users unfriendly. Once the vehicule is moving you can't change any inputs on the system. To top it off, when it's sunny you can't see the screen. I'm interested in your views on Audis....my old Mercs is getting very long in the tooth and might consider a used A4 Quattro as my winter wheels...would you recommend ? Cheers from the great white north. Marc

Marc, I had to laugh with the decription of the hounds as yo-yo's because that is so true! My dogs will "bounce" forever if I let them when they either want to go out, or especially if they see a rabbit or squirrel. I do enjoy them a lot, however, from time-to-time they challenge my patience. I do find it difficult to take them both on walks especially when they see another dog, regardless of their size they want to take them on. It's the breed I guess. With respect to the Audi, I have an A4 3.0 Sport 6 speed, and it's a wonderful car. Moreover, the service by Audi is nothing short of terrific with a great service plan. I have a 2002 model and I have no complaints at all other than I wish I had the S4, but who wouldn't. I essentially want an SUV as my second and I am particularly fond of the RR HSE and the only other SUV I would consider is the Porsche brand. I will not, however, be purchasing a new one since I recently restarted by part-time MBA/JD and will be paying for that until completion, thus, a used one will be in order. Good to hear back from you! Gerardo

You're making me hungry. lol

Quotes source post: 7396170

There are not enough homes for sale in the price range that I want! In Indiana you can get a fantastic house for a relatively small amount of money. We've had a bit of sticker shock. We found one that we liked, and actually made an offer 10 days ago. It was a bank owned property, and the bank still hasn't responded to my offer. It actually makes me angry that they take their own, sweet time to respond. I made an offer on another one today, and hopefully we'll find out soon. I acutally also work for J&J, also selling orthopaedic implants. I have responsibility for our distributor network for the western half (essentially) of the US. Where is your son working?

In Maine, Portland and north.
