me and my cars
 
I don't have a photo of me and the Porsche yet... I have a new digital camera on the way.

Anyway... here's a photo of me at work (I somehow ended up on TV here in Houston) and then a photo of my two cars.

Are you an on-air personality on Channel 2? You sure look familiar...

Hugh D 03-13-2007 06:56 PM

Heh... that's what I hear from most people "look familiar"... I don't get recognized too often though. I've only been on for 6 months.

I'm on FOX 26 News... usually in the mornings, sometimes nights. Basically tech reporting. In fact, if you want to see me just tune in tomorrow morning... about 6:45ish to 7am. Yeah, get up early! :p

blinkwatt 03-13-2007 07:22 PM

@ Hugh D

What did you think of the movie 'Anchorman'? :D

Bavarian Motorist 03-13-2007 07:37 PM

You definitely look like a TV guy. That's actually the first thing I thought :D


But then, you are in make-up and in a studio :(

Hugh D 03-13-2007 08:21 PM

Yeah... and I have an unnatural wire coming out of my ear....

Anchorman was hilarious... have the DVD.... some of my coworkers didn't like it so much for reasons I wont say here

unklekraker 03-13-2007 08:52 PM

Anchorman is one of my fav movie of all time beside Dumb and Dumber and 40 Yr. Old Virgin :D

Adam 03-13-2007 09:00 PM

Here is a shot of me and the girly friend.

Doug, you know what would be pretty damn awesome. If you answered a question but had 986forum open in the background on one of those screens :D

One-time, I changed a major investment website's stock ticker on there main homepage to display my girlfriends name for about 5 seconds. No one at Impe.......cant say who they are actually but they never noticed and we still host them and the GF was greatful, scored me some Pasta Milano at Macoronni Grill that nite!

unklekraker 03-14-2007 04:12 PM

CJ..you are a very brilliant man! Doug, you could do it :D :D :D

Hugh D 03-16-2007 11:46 AM

LOLOLOL you guys are hilarious!

Maybe one day... ;-) I'll let ya know!

djomlas 03-16-2007 11:53 AM

now that would be awesome, do it man

drburton 03-16-2007 12:09 PM

Tech Guy! I bought a new machine (Velocity Micro) with Vista and it seems Vista is a memory whore. I have 2G of memory but 35% is used with nothing open (and there isn't much running in the background). Do you recommend going to 4G of memory for Vista. Just Curious.

Hugh D 03-21-2007 04:20 AM

Dr. Burton... I answered your question on TV this morning :-)

http://www.myfoxhouston.com/myfox/pages/ContentDetail?contentId=2728538

You'll notice a little something special in the background, too. ;-)

porschegeorg 03-21-2007 04:27 AM

That is too too cool!! But you didnt use the term "memory whore" on the broadcast. ;)

RandallNeighbour 03-21-2007 06:53 AM

Doug, you present yourself on-air to be much older than you really are. No wonder they chose you for the job. You do a great job. And I loved the 986 on the monitor in the background!

I'm gonna think up a real good question so I can get my name on the air too!

eslai 04-11-2007 09:29 PM

Look! It's me!!

wow, 145 responses to my thread...

that reminds me, on another forum that i visited we started a thread to get the most responses on, anything, i believe it got up to over 300 pages of nonsense....

Been here for awhile, time to say hi
 
OK, I have been lurking here for awhile & it is time to introduce myself. I got a 2000 986 in March '03. It had 3000 miles at the time (dealer story: one of many that were collected by ex-marine.... never saw bad weather... garage queen). It has basically been my daily driver since. Never had a serious problem with the car. Mods I have completed:

Replaced top with GAHH glass (most serious mod needed b/c of tear in plastic)
summer (18") & winter (17" original) wheels/tires
Replaced HU with Alpine with Sirius & iPod connect
Rear speakers
Replaced all stock speakers
Aluminum e-brake
3 spoke steering wheel
clear bra
TT front bumper

I have to thank everyone here for info on the car & how to do alot of these things myself.

OK, the 18" are Moda R6 and are bright silver, not chrome. If I would have know of Wheel Dynamics at the time I would have bought the 5 spoke Carrera's from them, but these looked close to me.

Gotta say after reading all the track talk I want to get out there, however I would fail the broomstick test w/o a problem (I am 6'3" and my head w/o helmet is above the rolbar).

I have been considering adding HP to the car for my next mod. However, it has worked perfectly since I bought it & I don't want to 'F' something up that is dependable. So I am considering the Porsche Driving Exp in Alabama with my next bonus to test my abilities in the P-car, b/c I am sure that I could get more out of it as is.

Some pics included, and the new delimiter on the $ spent for the 986.

Thank you all.

yurkope 04-11-2007 11:43 PM

limited to 5 in first post

djomlas 04-12-2007 03:20 AM

Okay -- so here's a pic of me outside our research center, (sorry, but I've always had this compulsive urge to climb up on things, even Porsches..).

24 years too late for those 944 rip-off fender flairs. Too little too late for that little wing on that corrola-esque 4-door...zzzzzz

conradtan 04-27-2007 01:36 AM

One of me, and one of my beloved... Haha! :D

Actually with new rubber and sway bars (1k-ish total) you'd be surprised at how well it will do in autocross. It's obviously not going to stack up driver-for-driver, but....

Dohertycm 04-27-2007 08:58 AM

Here is mine
 
New picture of me and my gal....

I love the black cars......

conradtan 04-27-2007 09:12 AM

@Kraker... That's an old picture. Still got the ugly yellow under the headlights though. Can't find a cheap way to do it other than actually buying clear/smoked healights for like $1K! I'll let you know about this Sunday.
