Ladies and Gentlemen, we're almost there!

Our last 8 submissions will be staff for the AR and cars of S9.

We begin with Nico Ortiz. He doesn't have a Porsche, but he's one of us all the way. Here's the donator of your beer for the Atomic Ramble.

17 Days to Go:

Some of you may remember, back in January, I was working on moving a 944 from Playa del Rey to Rio Rancho.

This is that 944. It's a fixer-upper that we obtained for $1700 and is proudly owned by a busser at Turtle Mountain. This kid is 15 years old and he's already one of my best customers. He shows up on time for appointments, pays promptly for his parts (I'm doing his labor free) and is just a good guy in general.

Don't you wish you had a 944 for your first car?

What can you say about this guy? He's been one of us for about a year and a half. In that time, he's gone from hanging out sans 914 to owning a fully-committed 2.7RS.

Waide was my second customer and was absolutely one of the easiest people to work with I could have imagined. He has twice handed me a blank check. That's an all-or-nothing approach I can really appreciate.

15 days out.

And now for Mr. Wills.

I can't thank this guy enough. Almost two years ago, we met for the first time. Shortly thereafter, I was in the garage working on Liz's car when I received an unsolicited email requesting a /6 conversion before I moved to Florida.

And so I proudly present my first official customer and my good friend.

14 days!

He had been saying he wanted a Porsche for years. Last summer he took the plunge.

Trust me, you want to count this guy among your closest friends.

Jon "Nelson".

This one will be a /6 with steel flares someday. Right now, it's just a daily driver for my beautiful wife.

Yep, I'm a Luckie guy.

11 Days Remaining!

Here's the last one I've got.

I wont make it, long story but I had to pickup my car from the body shop who had it 8 months and only spent about a week on it and thought it was good enough. It's up to me to finish it now. Rick Ollah came down and spent a day with me working on it but there is way to much to get done before my car is road ready. I am going to miss this gathering as it was my target date to be finally done. Turbo car will live soon....

Please save me a tee shirt XL for my son Oliver...
Have fun!

OK. Random pictures.

If you are coming to FT. Worth, then you need to call and we can get together for dinner.



BTW... We are coming in my car. I finished the tranny reassembly this afternoon, and I will put it back in on Sunday. I am driving it to work on Monday for a shakedown.


ClayPerrine
Oh.. and I forgot.....


We have 2 more people and one more car coming from here. Mike and Julie Floyd are coming in "Old Blue".. a 3.2L flared six conversion.
