The PIG is back!, Epiphany, I hope! Options

Yep, I'm back as your moderator.

Hopefully, and I think so, all of my familial problems, as well as my funk have gone away. Maybe it's the warmer weather. Maybe it's spending a couple of hours in the warmer weather tinkering with both Porsches today. Maybe it's knowing that my best bud gets his 914 back tomorrow, after nearly 2 years.

Whatever it was, there's an old sheriff in town, and his name is Reggie - no, wait, wrong movie (48 Hours)!

So, this Forum is going to be moderated again. And, we are going to stick to originality first, and concours secondarily.

I plan on totally rebuilding the nailed section, and am open to suggestions.

Yeah, I'm hot for 914's again.

Pat,
Thank you, thank you, thank you! For coming to your senses. I knew you couldn't divorce yourself completely of the Porsche experience. Like I've said, just getting an occasional "fix" by going to a Porsche event gets the old juices flowing again, along with the usual right of spring by getting the car back on the road.

Speaking of events........
Yesterday, the Northern NJ Porsche region had a restoration and preservation workshop at Paterek Brothers in Chatham NJ. I got to talk to Tod and see what a fantastic job he has done so far on his 914. I suggested that he go the full judging route at the Zone One Concours, by the way he has detailed the most annoying areas, like the front trunk around the gas tank, and his engine compartment........wow! Just pops when you open the lid with all the clean and shiny silver paint. Nice job Tod. And he's thinking of selling it???

Anyway, seeing all the Porsches and people got me back into the swing of things.

Pat, you are valuable asset to the 914 community. Your absence would definitely leave a hole in the originality/concours segment of our hobby. Glad you're back!

Dave,

Thanks for thanking! I've had some ordeals in the last 18 months & all but oneare history - still can't see worth a shit!

Whatever, I've learned to deal with it.

Yep, I'm renewed. Starting again on the 914 (911 has to wait). Need loltsa little rubber parts. Expect George will come up with them.

Touch road for the last 15 months, but now I can concentrate on my only child - the 914.

Thanks for having me back.
Pat
