Pat,

With a 3 week old at home and also a 4 and 2 year old I am luck to be allowed out at all. My wife, bless her soul, let me out to the golf course last week. I'm still coming down from that. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

While Hershey is going on this year, I'll be playing clarinet with an orchestra in Philadelphia. I am going to plug it in for next year and just cross my fingers for no conflict.

Hey Scott,

We had a lot of success with the Fall gathering at RS Barn. So, in the year to come you might get the opportunity to meet some great folks a little closer to home...we'll try to put it on the calendar earlier so you have time to plan around it.

Scott,

I spent the last weekend at my sister's house. She has a 4 year old, a 2 year old, and a 2 month old.
I don't know how you are finding time to even log on to Forums. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif[/img]

I'm still looking forward to meeting you in person.
Maybe after they are all in college...

Jamie

Thanks Pat/Jay-

I would love to do Hershey. My dad grew up just a few hours from there, and goes every year. He has two antique Chrysler Imperials, a 1931 and a 1932, both in various stages of restoration. Inline V-8 motors with flat heads. Incredible. Chrome everywhere. He takes a trailer and a tent and a Coleman gas stove and loves every minute.

I'd like to try for the fall meet at the Barn. It's a 45 min drive from East Windsor. The challenge for me and the fall is:

Marching band!

We compete and go to all the home and away games. It's a big schedule, but I absolutely get into it. I can only hope that the fall gathering can work somehow. Maybe, something will "go wrong" with my car and I will need to get to the Barn to have it "sorted". Hmmmmm.....

Jamie: As far as being on the Forums, I probably have been on more lately. No sleep anyway, so I might as well catch up with all of you guys. I think it is helping keep me sane!

There was this one time in band camp......


Finally got those darn 968 mirrors and sorry handles on.
Still not even close to being a 968 :-,

Pat, are you going to do anything with the rear now that the front & side look more modern? 944 S2/968 rear spoiler and/or euro spec rear bumper? Your 951 looks exactly the way i picture a perfect 951 with the exception of those two items. Gorgeous car.

Agreed, and if anyone can track down the parts needed for the rear its Pat.

Man, I'm drooling over those rims..

Thanks for the compliments guys! I've been working way to hard on it the last couple of months.
The car pretty much just sat in the driveway all last year. The paint was a mess from sitting.

Dino, eventually I'll pick up a 968 hatch or a TRS rep spoiler from D9.
I've considered a 968 rear bumper conversion, but will more than likely source a euro bumper.

I think my next major purchase is going to be a Vitesee S2R set up. Should be good for 320RWHP or so.
Also would like to pick up an S2 LSD gearbox.

Here is some inspiration. I really dig the Euro Spec rear bumper & the red indicators (to match the rest of the tailight) arnt bad either.

Edit: the more i look at the red indicators, the more i like them. So here is a vote for painting yours red.

That's funny, I've been wanting all red tails. I was gonna do the ones on he wagon first to see how good (or bad the paint is).
I'm thinking of going back to amber turn signals on the front. Never really was a fan of clear.

Amber is more classy imho. I always had amber signals on all my cars. I never understood why so many people like clear indicators.

Funny story, i owned a Volvo 850R for a short time. The U.S. spec models have amber turn signals & the euro spec had clear signals. All the guys on the volvo boards were swapping theirs for euro clears, while the guys on the euro boards all wanted the amber lenses. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. With that said, i saw a few guys on the uk 968 board swapping their turn signals for us spec signals & bumperettes. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif[/img]

Only reason I got the clears was the guy I got the fogs from tossed them in for free and my ambers arnt very pretty.
I'll be looking for some nice ones on Saturday.
