    You must have been out there when I was there on Saturday. Was that your grey 355? You can not go wrong with a Porsche. Every time I drive my I am amazed what a great car it is. Ferrari and Lamborghini's gear box don't even compare to Porsche's.

    Yep -That was me! I picked up the Turbo in the morning on Saturday.

    I have to say that it's the fastest thing I've ever driven! Amazing machine...

    Nice turbo, congrats.

    Funny though, I cruised right through the parking lot at the same time your car was parked up front (custom plates, don't recall what they were though).
    The funny thing is I had the wife with me and we were checking out your (ex) car... I'm working on the soft sell with her. Once she saw your old car she was quite excited though! :)

    You should have sold it to me since you would have likely made more in the long run.

    Oh well.... enjoy your turbo.

    Brian,
    Was looking at your first pic again.... suddenly seems very familiar. Don't want to give anything away that you don't want to, but this is "in the Tualatin area", correct?

    Pretty sure I live about a quarter mile from this location.

    small world!

    Well hell, had I known you were going to be there I would have walked over there to drool at the turbo! ;)


    BTW, does this mean that GPI will have your old 355 up for sale at some point?

    That's what I said to Eric at GPI!!! Hell - It would have been the Lambo but I probably would have babied that too. I even drove the Turbo to work in this mess today - Something I would have NEVER done with the F-car! This is good...

    Just let me come with you guys and don't make too much fun!

    Congrats !!!.. I actually did the opposite... I sold my 01 911 Turbo (TechArt) for a 95 F355B. Both are nice cars... You'll have fun with the TT. Little mods will make a big difference on performance...

    I love Porsches, I have a 944 but would love a 997 some day, im afraid of the turbo power.
    Your turbo is beautiful tho, you were talking about wheels, BBS's would look so good on that car, or maybe Fikse fm10's.
    So many possibilities.
    Did some one on here say they owned Universal cycle? is that Mike? I used to buy parts there all the time when I was riding.

    Great car! Enjoy it.

    The 911 Turbo is a great multipurpose vehicle--fast, comfortable, reliable. It also is a great looking car. I often miss my 1970 911T (but never the 944 I owned briefly).

    Don't worry to much. I just got a P car but I did keep my 308. I drive the Porsche every day and it is absolutely great.
