New additions to the garage….
Scuderia sign and 911. Had to get away from my ‘70 911. I struggled with the decision, but a left shoulder that needs replacing and a right shoulder with 2 tears in the rotator cuff, made for driving a no-power steering, 1970 manual transmission, a chore. Stuck with the NA 991.1 and jumped on this color spec as soon as I found it.
Happy St Patrick’s day all.

Beautiful Richard! I have had a 991.1 Cab for ten years now, and it's the best, most fun car I've ever had.

Wow - what a collection! And I thought my Coca Cola mini bottles collection when I was 13 years old was impressive!

Beautiful cars! Congratulations my friend!

Thank you. I usually prefer black/silver/white, but thought this was a nice shade of blue.

Love the garage photos you posted. Well done!

Yes, it is MBB. I decided to keep the black trim, adding the full Akra, KW HAS kit, turbo inlets and drop in filters.

I was thinking of not doing anything to it, but I can't help myself. It all started with Japanese imports in the 90s when I was a teenager, I guess I never outgrew it lol

Great thread. I could look at pictures of nice cars all day. Of course through in a few watches for good measure.

LOL, that annoys me nearly as much as the people who reply "Subscribed" because they don't know how to use a web forum.
