Name is Jim and I reside in Rockville, Maryland.



I recently acquired a 1992 968 Cabriolet.



The 968 will be the latest in a long line of 'toys' that I've owned, raced, and restored over the last 30-some years.



The majority of my 'toys' have been Porsches (356s, 911s, a 912, a Boxster 'S', a 914 autocross car, and a 944), with a few British offerings, just to 're-oil' my driveway (1958 'Bugeye' Sprite, 1959 Triumph TR-3A, MGB, and a Jaguar), and a nice 1968 Ferrari 330 GTC, to really challenge my mechanical skills. I do everything in restoring my 'toys', save for laying down a finish paint job. I do all of my own engine and transmission work, brake work, welding, fabrication, uphosltering, and electrical.



I also enjoy restoring vintage bicycles, I had a part-time business working in stained glass, and I'm just beginning to learn to play the guitar.



Looking forward to sharing the things I've learned over the many years I've been 'playing' with cars, and to exploring the potential of the 968. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/cool.png" class="smilie" alt="" />

You sound like you'll be a great addition to the forum - always great to have people with mechanical knowledge and experience. Welcome to the 968 world.

do the Italians follow the same Lucas theory of electronic darkness as the British? Working on other makes always make me appreciate vintage German metal.



Welcome to the forum.

Welcome!

Welcome Jim, always good to have one more person who can shed some light on the technical challenges the 968 can throw at us.



... And if interested shed some light on the discussions in the WC-thread :-)

Welcome,



Looking forward to your contribution.
