    Re: Hmmmmmmm ..

    LOL , "hand around" . Seriously though the board is for a buyer or a owner in all honesty and thats why I probaly go off topic now and again which can be a bit disrespectful.

    Its a curious one ,, what does one deem this board as ???..

    Perhaps something you know, or an informed opinion you have, or a photo you have on file will help someone else? That's a good reason.

    Re: Hmmmmmmm ..

    I don't think anyone would suggest "going away", the haircut, well, that's a personal decision isn't it??? Seriously, as long as you gain something from the board I am certain others do from your postings. As to what to do about the car, well, I've been on the fence since the end of my 986 lease. At some point I'll probably commit to another Porsche, but until that time it seems reasonable to learn as much as I can from forums on Rennteam and elsewhere. Unless your OPCs are much different than our US dealers, there's not a lot of information in that wellspring.

    Just re-order the car dude - but even if you don't pls hang around - you provide some of the essential character of this board - unlike me who is just a P-nerd saying nerdy things every now and again.

    So hang around - if only for the hair!

    throt,

    My vote is A.

    How many test drives did you have?
    How long since last test drive?

    I wasn't 100% sure either during the wait but when it was finally mine, couldn't imagine being without it. I think from this point on, I'll always have one.

    If you can't find one to drive, come on over. Wait till spring and we'll drive down sorority row during rush with the top down. -wear hat

    Throt,

    You have to hang around for two reasons:
    1. If you notice, I'm gaining on you-I'm over 500 posts on rennteam and your lead is narrowing; and
    2. We figure if you stick around long enough, you WILL change your mind and re-order the P.

    Of course stick around man.
    One don't need to own a Porsche to be on this forum, I don't! (at the moment...)
    As to reorder the car or not, that is your call, it is a big financial commiment so however good the product is, we don't know you well enough to recommend anything.
    Judging by your level or enthousiasm, sounds like you could be in for a GT3 soon anyway!

    Don't go anywhere dude. There is a very good mix of people around here and you're a vital part of it. P car or no P car it really isn't important.

    Personally I think you should keep the hair but dye it red, it just isn't conspicuous enough!

    You know that nice lady at the OPC you told us about, the one with the stockings, bent over your knee, etc.. well go back to see her and she'll tell you exactly what to scratch, how hard and how long for.

    Seriously if you are still considering the car then I can thoroughly recommend it to you, they may be expensive, can't logically be justified and will loose shed loads of cash but from my first week with the car I am very pleased I bought it - everything I hoped it would be.

    Oh throt you have no idea how tempted I was to say that.

    Pink would be nice yeah, I think that would make you very popular at certain, shall we say, special interest bars and clubs in our great capital. But have you got the balls for it?

    And I told you, you should drive my car some time, that might get you back at the dealers.
