Just spoke with Jonathan at Ruf. I am flying into Dallas next weekend for the first playoff game. I need something to drive while I'm there. He is such a nice guy. He offered a freshly converted Guards Red 993. FTW!

Thanks Alvin. Hoping to get her back sometime soon.

Although I'm not sure how "comparable" 500hp will be to Big Bird's 600, 700, 800, etc.
