Well...this is sure a great big can of worms I've opened up here!
While it is all very interesting,I hope that I have not offended anyone in the process.
Personally, I think they are 2 different people. Let me say that I have read and enjoyed, and have been informed by, posts from both authors.

Sheesh...all I wanted was information about where I could buy Esso 71141,
other than the stealership.

BTW...the dealership here in Calgary wants 600.00 for the fluid ALONE!

Again,apologies...if required.

Cheers
Mike

I live in Minnesota. Let me know the color of his Boxster and I will keep an eye out for him. I am heading over to Carousel Porsche in a few minutes and will ask if they have seen him.

MNBoxster's car is also pictured in LB's signiture. Same car. Same window sticker. Same parking lot. Same background.

Coincidence?

Ya sure!

Here we have LB's signature photo



And here a photo of Jim's car from his detailing thread
http://986forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11216
Notice the front wheels are angled in both photos, the spokes are in the same position relative to the car, car position relative to faded white lines is the same, identical color and texture of the parking lot surface, and the same crack in the parking lot surface under the rear half of the vehicle




On to the next photo
http://986forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=6405
This time we have a shot looking at the front of the car. Again we see the angled front tires and shadows from the wheels and bumper match LB's signature photo. In the sig we see a lighter green tree behind the seats. In this front-on shot a very similar tree is behind the driver side mirror. As for the vegetation, in both shots is nicely cut grass, followed by overgrown rough, and then dense trees.

One last thing. The signature photo file name is DSC_0034 and Jim's detail photos are DSC_0028 - DSC_0045. It's in the range.

Frankly I don't care who LB is but overwhelming evidence indicates that either he is MNBoxster or he "borrowed" the signature photo.

Ahhh you guys are wayy off,

Now if someone new shows up with the handle "big ************************ Bastard", then I'm looking for the similarities. Since we are all trading our favorite MN stories, I liked the yarn about winning thousands in Vegas gambling with reckless abandon like he was James Freaking Bond.

You know this occurred to me as well (not that's its a big deal) but I remember how well MN's Boxster looked after he deswirled using an orbital.
When I saw that pic of the red/tan I said "hmm...I never forget a face or Porsche!"

I thought LB was the guy with the 550 with the red tail stripes, because it said lil' bastard on the rear deck.

Although MN's replies were VERY informative on factual basis and his opinions were equally rich. I didn't get either from the nome de puis(sp?).
