Glad to see you were able to get in.

Beautiful car, welcome!

Thank you, and thanks for your help.

Howdy :)

Welcome aboard. Tell us about your orange car.
Cheers

78 getting a complete restoration. Should be out for paint soon.

So glad the 928 crowd has a friendly place to gather!...

.....and to show pics of those beautiful sharks!

Joined a short while ago. Stopped sponsoring the other site a couple of years ago after many years and then got blocked unless I paid them again? So stuff that!
Looking forward to catching up with old & new 928'ers on here in a much more relaxed and friendly environment.

Cool!

Finally looking around the new hangout and wanted to check in. Joined last year, mainly because I've been along for an exodus or two and this had all the rumblings of yet another move. I have been noticing a bit of an echo at the other site and looking around I started feeling a bit like I was at the wrong party (no pun intended..).

Looking around here and seeing Gene'O's babe proudly displayed on the wall told me I was in the right place!

Now that I sold my white/black 86.5 5-speed (and all the kids and step-kids are pretty settled in to colleges or jobs) I can finally focus on my silver 86.5 auto. I may have gone a little crazy with it, but I am having fun, look forward to sharing, and I'm sure I will be asking for help!

Speaking of recollections, the 2001 pic below was posted on the other site by jon928se (Australia) in Shawn Stanford's thread requesting old Frenzy pics.

After my 2 cents to identify Marc Thomas and David Lloyd, Jon updated the caption to what you see below.

Participants L-R. Marc Thomas, Dave Roberts, Jim Bailey, Jay Kempf, David Lloyd, Wally Plumley (I think) and John Eifert in the background.

Welcome (back) Carlos.

So... who are these guys :)

Thank you, D.

I know it's a rhetorical question, but I will answer anyway:

L-R at the table: Wally Plumley, Dave Roberts, Marc Thomas, Kim Crumb, Ed (YMMV) Ruiz, and Mark Anderson. Standing with the Mic is Marc White (and that might be his 928 in the background), and at the front of the audience in the white T-shirt is David Lloyd. Ahhh, the good ole' days!

Heh. I need to scan one of our “special” membership cards and post it. Or would that be copyright violation?

I believe Mr. Schmidt would be the one to ask about that. I came across one of mine the other day. Boy those 928 hoods are sturdy!

Thought that I'd stop over. Very quiet at that other site.

Welcome Geo.

thanks for creating this forum. looking forward to posting here. Question, is there some sort of forum sync with the RL site? It seems as though I am seeing the same threads in both forums

Any “sync” is done manually by humans who decide they want two threads.

Well, I have posted here a few times so I am in. I have not seen Greg Brown though.

With its new model Ferrari is paying its tribute to this beautiful Swedish lady.

We're going to need more info on this Ferrari...

We're going to need more information on the "Bird Site" too.

Welcome.

Well I'm in!

I had contributed quite a bit to Rennlist in the past but when they went commercial and I didn't pay their dues my image bucket was full so I couldn't help anyone anyone with images.

Glad to be here!

Welcome Rich!

Sorry it took a few tries to get you in. I'll look into what might have been the issue and make sure it doesn't prevent other users from joining.

Let me know if you have any questions on the forum itself or suggestions/feedback!

Hello,
Just found you and checking in. I came to get in on the College football pick-em contest that's going here, but am a long time car person and am glad to be here.

Welcome!

If you have any questions related to the forum itself or suggestions, please reach out to me directly. Enjoy!

New 86.5 928 owner, not sure if I'm a refugee yet ( new other site member too) followed Ed (Linderpat) here via a thread with 1 refugee and a current other site member arguing about something I can't remember at the moment, anyway, you all probably know who I'm talking about, just happy to have a 928 and be part of a great community of car enthusiasts.
I'm giving up a restoration project on my 51 year family owned AR 71 1750 GTV for 928 ownership, at least at this point my wife thinks I am

welcome aboard Joe!

Hello old friends.....'cause like, most of you are old bastards.



Getting back into my 928 project. expect to see more from me.

Welcome aboard.

We might pick up a few more refugees given yet another train wreck thread over on RL.

Hadn't been there for a while and came across the 928 Forum "Tool to remove Front Upper A-Arm bolts" thread. I'll leave it to someone else to provide a direct link if you'd like.

Ego! Defensiveness! Martyrdom! Pot stirring! Aggression — passive, or active, take your pick! Something for everybody who has a passing interest in psychology and how not to win friends and influence people.

Glad to be here.

Yeah. I saw that. RL is mostly bickering and poor advice now.

The more we use this forum the better it will be.

ChatGPT does not need to compete with excellence to do well, it only needs to compete successfully against a large portion of our human, if mundane, endeavors, which it appears to do successfully to a scary degree! Wish I had stayed in AI to know more!

there is some other new site started where Dr Bob and some of the other RL outcasts went. I forget waht it's called. I looked at it and it makes Pelican look good.

Welcome abord!

Unvaccinated, so I hope that I can make a first post here. Not sure why I can't put up an avatar but that's OK.

Welcome!

We accept all types here whether diseased or not!

Can you let me know what type of trouble you are having adding your avatar?

Thank you!

When I click on edit avatar in CP it goes to a blank page.

I'm still unable to add an avatar and unable to do a paid subscription as it goes to "This page doesn't seem to exist"

I promise to get vaxxed and boosted if I can get some help!

Thanks
