Well its the day after Christmas and I'm at work, cleaning my office, filing stuff and generally preparing for 2019. Tunes are on and life is good.
I am not really all that active on Forums any more since I haven't a 968 but I do still check out all the new posts 3-4 times every day. If I spent less time here and more time on my spinner bike in my office I would probably be better off!
I do miss the two 968s and probably should never have sold the blue cab pictured in my avatar. It was fun to drive and I never saw myself coming the other way.
A fun year for the Cayenne diesel. Got sideswiped in January and was out of commission for a month. The repair was pretty crappy but with 375,000 km on the vehicle, which makes it relatively worthless, I'm not that worried. I needed a steering shaft and a driveshaft this year but the "special" Porsche unlimited bumper-to-bumper warranty that has been in place since Dec 24, 2013 and will expire in May, 2019 has been great.
This year I bought a 2008 Cayenne GTS that was rather cheap and in great condition and I do drive it around for fun, This time of year, though, we need show tires in our part of the world so I only drive it when the roads are clean. I can tell you it's a real pig on fuel.
My Porsche driving summary this year shows about 97,000 km on the diesel and about 12,500 km on the GTS. Like the Beach Boys, I get around.
On a business note, I am still willing to part with my portion of ownership in this Forum. I bought it really just to help get past an issue at the time. It has been no work (thanks to Jay who seems to take care of everything) but with no car I can accomplish what I like to do - looking at new posts and occasionally offering a comment or two - by just being a member. The price is not high as I will be reasonable about that.
Wishing you all the best for the coming year from my little office here in Halifax - the pic shows it all.
