Hi all, my name is David Brown. I recently joined SCCA and have been looking for a car that my wife and I can use for both sport club racing as well as cruising the back roads. I have owned and raced a pre 85 944 that did incredibly well during my youthful days and as much as I tried to kill that car, it just would not go down. It reliably took me wherever I wanted to go and fast at that. In my recent past Ive been looking at Alfa Romeo GTV-6's (remember those?) and lost several bids on BaT and Ebay because I just did not believe that cars to be that valuable. So I started bouncing back and forth between the Alfas and 944's again (mostly because of reliability) and a stumbled upon the 968. I have spent the entire day learning more and more about the car and I must admit that I am completely enthralled with what I have read. I look forward to learning more about the car and hopefully purchase one. I have read the must do list when buying one that you have so eloquently listed (great List!) and without a doubt, my love for 944's has been transferred to the 968. It seems like a great purchase price wise as it would seem to be going up higher than 944s. I work as a sailboat captain on a 91ft. custom sailboat, I ride a lovely BMW motorbike and love flying planes too. I guess I just like driving things, regardless of the location! I look forward to reading even more about the forum and it would seem that you have a great group of enthusiast. Thank you for letting me be a part of it. Cheers, David
