I'm glad with Ray is everything ok. Due to his site I also found out that this was the best site for the future to share the 968 technical information.

Well maintained and without spammers!

Who is Ray? I guess the moderator over at 968.net?



I went to .net when I was looking to buy a 968. I remember posting a question, then checking back and hour or two later and noting that 17 or so people looked at it but no one replied. I then replied to my own post with "17 views and no replies, you guys aren't too helpful around here". ha ha boy did that get them posting <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/tongue.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> .



Been here at the .com ever since.

I love my 968 for what it is & don't hate it for what it isn't!

From what I've heard, Ray started 968.net and has sole control over it.

Lost sole control over it is more like it. Once he set it adrift it was all over.

Hi Joska, I can't remember anymore, but do you have the same nickname as on *.net?

Joska,



Es freut mich wieder von Dir zu hoeren! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/tongue.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



Wow, it has been years since we heard from you. If my memory serves me correctly, the last time we saw you was at Cosimo's 968 Celebration in Reston. Assume you are still living in Deutschland or are you back in the States?



Yes, this Forum has replaced the old 968.net forum. The other new website (since you last looked) for 968 people is the Porsche Club of America 968 Register website at www.968register.org



Last I checked, 3 of the 240 968 Register members are living in Germany, either in the military or as a civilian.



Do you still own the Club Sport? <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/ohmy.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

Don,



Fantastic that these people are still around. It is great to hear from you!

This is correct. In Reston we met the last time and talked a lot.

I brought my Clubsport back to Germany and sold it. Currently I live with my family in Hungary. Had a fantastic Job offer.



We will go to Germany this year and I am considering buying a 968 again. That is the reason why I am looking around in the forums again. Who from the register lives in Germany now?
