New guy saying hello.

I just wanted to drop a hello to you guys (and gals?). I'm new to the forum and new to being a Porsche enthusiast....and wondering why I didn't test drive a Porsche many years ago! I look forward to reading your posts and picking your brains for information.

Thank you in advance and see you around!

Did you buy your turbo locally? I looked at a prototech car up in Colebrook, NH in june 07... 2003, seal, proto, front rear K40, Alpine, etc, etc....

Welcome to the '6

Thx all for the welcome

Ross - I do have pics. I'll put one in my sig later when I get home.

ARD - the car originally came from Florida, but yes, the 2nd owner is/was from Colebrook so that is probably it. Interesting...wonder what the story is behind that. What was your opinion of it when you checked it out? Hopefully you didn't determine it was a lemon!!

I can't PM you back; guess word is out that I'm a rookie in all aspects!

So...re: your PM, thank you very much for being forthcoming with information. You're right, the guys is a bit of an A hole...he acquired a degenerative neurological disease which prevents him from driving...so he's probably angry at life. I'd love to see what info you have and I'm excited to be part of a forum with so many helpful people.

beantowntechy@gmail.com

Thx - Clayton

Clayton, congrats on the car! I would never expect to find a modded 996TT in Colebrook

We do some good drives and rallys - in fact, I just got back from one today. You should join the PCA and take part in a few. Great fun!
