new to 968's
#1

Hello,
I just puchased a 1993 968 and am very much looking forward to its arrival. Buying sight unseen his a hectic way to buy a new car. The car was a trade in for a newer 911 in Denver and looked very good in the photos and discription. I felt that the Ferrari dealer would't have put it on the internet if it wasn't in top shape. Those guys have a reputation to keep.
I've been looking for a 968 for some time and this one just jumped out at me. I wanted a coupe with manual trans and that's what I got. The price was right for a 73,000 mile, two owner car. It's black with a beige interior, an upgarded sound system and a Nav sysyem. It has complete records.
It will be picked up in Denver May 25 and should reach its new home in Castro Valley, Ca. on Wednesday or Thursday.
I'm a retired airline pilot who learned the trade flying Navy A-4's over the seas and badlands of North Vietnam.
I look forward to being a part of the 968 forum.

Well, driving a 968 and flying a plane sorta goes well together.

I'm flying the C680 and the C208 on floats - nice rides bot of them.
