Hi everybody,
Just thought I would introduce myself to the board after browsing for a couple months.
My name is Dan Fontaine, I live in Regina, SK, Canada, am 24 years old, and work as an Electronics Engineering Technologist for the local power company.
I am friends with mike_the_man and he has got me interested in buying one of these cars, I will be joining him to the WCC next month and look forward to meeting some of you.
If all goes well, I should be on here asking lots of questions in the near future.
Great site, BTW!!

Welcome Dan. 
You should have a lot of fun driving a new car home to Canada.

Oh great, more Canadians Heh? Thats ok, I used to party with some fun Canadians when I lived in Minnesota. Of course they were females. They knew how to keep you warm when it was cold outside.

I'm surprised it took so long for someone to say that. The real reason is so that I can school Mike at the track in a comparable car...

Almost, but my beard is not white (yet).
I have contacted many of the members on this list, and several more I know. Anyone that wants to put on a regional meet can contact me for the list. Everyone likes to party, I'm just trying to make it easier.

Here I thought you were trying to be like me! I buy an Audi, you buy an Audi. I buy a 914, you want a 914. I dunno, I'm starting to get a little worried...
