Its not fun to drive it when you feel like it is unreliable and could fail at any moment.

Since my AOS blow out and computer replacement last May 2014 I only put 20 miles on it. I need to take it on a long drive to re-establish trust so I can start driving all the time again.

It is my second car so its no bother to drive something else but I do miss it and have been post-phoning taking it to a dealer to reset the locking in the computer so the doors will lock again. It also has the beginning of a rear vinyl window tear, but I coincidentally just bought some waterproof wetsuit repair glue that should be a great temporary repair so I can drive in the moisture.


Getting older is all about knowing your body, staying toned and controlling pain. Some days you have to plan ahead and take a pain killer along with the Porsche Keys.

I am taking up Kitsurfing this year and it ought get me more toned, tanned and fit which in the short term will hurt a bit using muscles for new kinds of things, but in the long term will improve everything and reduce the chances of lazy sprains, pulls and such.

The Kitesurfing should prove interesting as some of the equipment terminology is a little concerning; "Impact/Flotation vest", "Oh Sh it handles", "Iron Heart Safety Release", "Suicide Mode safety defeat", getting lofted, getting yarded, Stingray barbed in the shallows, "Body Dragging" ...

Any Kite Boarders or wanabe's here?

I'm taking lessons at Belmont Shores, CA in the spring. Strangely enough I do know a Kiteboarder/986 driver in my general area, I wonder about the connection.
