Let's see, where have I been. Here's the Cliff's notes version.

Got laid off after 12 years with the same company - B*****rds. Divorced. Found a new job and moved back to Southern California. Got married again (this time to the most incredible lady). Got made the scapegoat on a failed program by (name redacted) and fired. Got picked up by a startup in San Jose. Startup got acquired by SanDisk. Bought an '02 Turbo to share the garage with the Boxster.

That about covers it

Sounds like a pretty wild ride. I hope things are settling down for you a bit. As I recall you were pretty active on Renntech and I followed your suspension how-to post about 5 years ago. It seems you were a better than fair AX competitor back then. As you probably know, PCA GGR has a very active driving program in the Bay Area.

SAS German Auto in Pleasanton has done my Boxter work in the past. They replaced the cables for my top and seemed to do a good job. Maybe give them a call and see if they replace tops.

Thanks, I'll give 'em a call.

I had a fair run when I was autocrossing. In '06 I took 2nd in the SCCA ProSolo series and 3rd in the National championships pedaling a friends Mini Cooper S in G Stock. Also that year, I won my class in the Portland Parade Autocross, then followed it up in '07 with a win in San Diego. My female co-drivers did pretty good too. A win in Portland and a 2nd in San Diego. The lady that drove my car in San Diego had never autocrossed a Boxster and had never driven on race rubber before, so she did an outstanding job. Only got beaten by an ex-pro race driver in a 914-6.

That whole Ax setup will be for sale soon, just as soon as I drag it out of boxes and take some pictures...

Seems like the only thing we can rely on is that things are constantly changing...
