49... For the next 9 days. I'm a Director of Technology for a large software company. 21 years and counting.

11 pilots! There has to be more. Driving these cars is just as thrilling as flying; to a degree. I flew F-18s in the Navy and now I fly an older Israeli jet (F-21 Kfir) and also a a really old British Fighter (Mk-58 Hawker Hunter). At times, I have the same reaction climbing into my '04 S as I do when I strap into the Kfir. Love these cars but more importantly I love this Forum and the people who are a part of it. Merry Christmas all!

57 year old professional auto enthusiast. I have worked at a dozen or so automotive companies, 4 tire stores, Shelby, Saleen, & then 3 companies in the automotive press fleet management industry, the 1st of which had the Porsche account!!
I never liked Porsche's because they were so slow at drag racing. (I made a little money street racing in my younger years.) So I got a job as a test driver for the company that had the Porsche account along with most of the other brands in 2000 MY.
Driving the 1st 996 I had ever been close to completely changed my mind about Porsche
When the new Boxster 'S' arrived it was love at 1st drive. Overall I loved the job. I delivered cars to celebrities for Jaguar & I couldn't wait for weekends to end so I could get back to "work". Management change made me want to quit so I did & started working on cars in my garage & eventually started rebuilding M96 engines starting with my own 3.6. :D

I'm 61 and college professor. I had a 914 many moons ago so a Boxster just had to happen sometime.

Oh, I see I missed some info.

I have looked over the last few years of this thread and recognise some names of currently active contributors... it is interesting to know a bit more about who we are exchanging with. We should put these mini-biographies in our "User CP"s. I often check out the User CP of forum members to get an idea of who they are.

66. I'm pastor of a small church. One of the members calls me "the faster Pastor". The pastor two before me had a beautiful green 356. We joke that Porsche is the official car for pastors at our church.

77 and a retired Professional Engineer. My 2003 Boxster S has an LS3 and is a sleeper. Did the build myself and all the instrumentation works. More fun and more reliable.:D

Love the idea that pastors drive Porsche. Seems to be completely impossible over here in Germany.
