The 944 Turbo is currently in the shop getting a new engine installed. Expect to pick it up end of next week!

That's too funny -- just fired up my 951 after an extensive rebuild at the shop last weekend...

However I'll be selling it -- eyeing a Spec Box to go with my 986S track car.

Hah! That is pretty funny! Let me know what we're going to fix next...

Sorry to hear that the 951 might go but you'll love a Spec Boxster!

Do your homework. Lots of info out there.
Keep your oil cool, baffle your oil pan.

So that's what......four engines this year between the spec Boxster and the 944 Turbo?

Your VISA card must be pretty battered by now.

I was thinking the same thing. No wonder you did the video, hopefully you are getting a discount!
