The Porsche thread.

[craz azn]

I've been lightly/casually looking for a 996 in this exact spec for the better part of ten-eleven years... so when this one came up early last year, it was definitely a case of 'if I don't do it now, I never will'... I bit the bullet, flew across the country, and drove it home. A massive 5k km drive home, in an unknown/sight-unseen car makes for a heck of an adventure. This car is by far one of the best automotive purchases I've ever made and it makes me excited about driving again, exactly like how I felt about my first E30 eons ago.

The Lotus showed up Jan 2024

Pretty soon you will have to decide if you want to call it Lotuses or Loti, or just Lotus

So no Lotus now?

What year is the 912? Love the green... congrats

Took the 912 out for a spin early 2023 and adjusted the valves. Missed the broken valve spring which resulted in a small engine fire. Took the chance to correct all the bad mods by the previous owners and added a battery kill switch.

Car was off the road until fall of 2023.

inherited my step uncle's '95 Carrera last year. it has a long way to go, but is a drivable car again. off the road since '96 after a right side impact at Laguna Seca. took it for it's first drive in almost 30 years to DMV to register it. 20,600 miles. Aventurine Green over tan, 6-speed.

Hell of an inheritance right there! Looking forward to seeing the process.
