<FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2>Hi, my name's John and I live in the UK, in the beautiful Eden Valley a few miles north of the English Lake District and about 12 miles south of the Scottish Border.</FONT></P>


<FONT face=Arial size=2>My first fast car was a 1990 Supra Turbo, fast but no soul!. I then bought a 1986 944 Lux, slower but lots of soul. Earlier this year I bought what seemed to be a beautiful 1990 944 S2 but it's got a few problems, more of them later!<IMG src=smileys/smiley6.gif border="0"></FONT></P>

Hi John,</P>


Welcome a board. My name is Alex. I live in Wichita, Kansas, USA. I am anelectrical engineer working atLucent Technologies. I am a newbie myself. I joined the group in early december. I had 2 Porsche's prior tomy current one. My wife had 5 of them before she met me. I had a 1994 911 GT2 Turbo that I bought at an auction in New York. I had to sell it to pay my mom's surgery fees <IMG src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0"> Then I bought a 1984 944. It was a great car. However, we had a baby and I had to get a family car so I sold that one too<IMG src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0">. My wife had 2 944s, a 924, and a 914. She kept trading them in. When she met me she had a 944 and she decided to get a Karmann Ghia so she soldhers <IMG src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0"></P>


After what seemed an eternity, I found the car of my dreams. It is a 1986 model 911 Carrera Coupe that had RUF BTRupgrade. It has theoriginal 41982 miles on it. I am the third owner. The interiorstill smells like a new car. I am extremely happy. <IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0">I am going to keep this vehicle no matter what. To make it right, I had to buy a Jetta VR6 and a 1971 VW Busfor my wife. She is happy because they are still in the same family (since VW is the parent company of Porsche I am told). I am now looking for a Porsche 356 to restore. I hope I can find one. I am going to give that to my wife, since 356 is her dream car. </P>


Well, enough about me. Once again, welcome aboard and looking forward to chat with you and others more in the near future.</P>


Ciao,</P>


Alex.</P>
