Hi Guys.
It's been a while since I've been very active here, but things are changing in the Florida Porsche biz.
I finally found the right space for Series 9 and I've started rolling.
I'll be setting up a grand opening party for sometime in December and I have bigger plans to host a Volusia County-based 914 Ramble event for 2011.
Here are a few pictures of the new space in DeLand. Check out www.914rs.com for more info. The website has more content being added weekly, so check back often.

I was.
I moved back home to Central Florida in the middle of 2008. With the poor economy, I have found it best to concentrate on my flying work until now.

Right now, it's Wednesday-Saturday from 8am-6pm.
Some licensing is still pending, so I'm more in set-up mode than anything else for the time being.

My two-post lift arrived yesterday. Today I had the chance to uncrate it and start the assembly. I left the light on tonight at the shop. If you look at the webcam, you will find one post (left) upright and one still on its side.
If all goes well, I will lift a car tomorrow.
www.914rs.com and look at the webcam.

I hope that Brian is driving the 911, otherwise it's easy for him to see the bottom of his 914 - he just has to peer up from the Jackstands

My list is corrected, your name was on the list for a while and I had guessed at where you were.
Shop looks good ( saw you installing the lift)
