They are pretty special cars.<br /><br />Thanks for the good wishes for my recovery - it is taking its time - but is getting better. The XSNo.4 is all packed up and ready to be shipped tomorrow. As soon as it is safe to do so - I will tell the rest of the story. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />konradKonradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975387560456769892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-3818003609679168682017-06-14T15:21:24.699-05:002017-06-14T15:21:24.699-05:00Glad to hear your expectations of driving a 911 we...Glad to hear your expectations of driving a 911 were met! They're such beautiful cars, and have been on my bucket list for a long long time. I did once get the chance to drive a 944 Turbo, but I was tired after a long shift as a dishwasher, and felt that I wasn't in a condition to drive an unfamiliar powerful car. Alas, the chance hasn't yet returned.<br /><br />I'm happy for you that your shoulder is recovering, and hope that it continues to do so. I've so enjoyed the added step-by-step process of your plane making, and am interested in hearing the story behind it!Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039688514199720322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-48639300235431347742017-06-11T07:54:50.347-05:002017-06-11T07:54:50.347-05:00Hi Dennis,

You have some time to start looking for your car - and hopefully you can get one before the prices go as crazy as they have with 911's. The early 911's are so far out of range... hopefully there is a slowdown or a correction to the prices... otherwise, this one might just stay on the list:) <br /><br />cheers,<br />konradKonradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975387560456769892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-73218702526432277482017-06-07T09:41:43.613-05:002017-06-07T09:41:43.613-05:00Hi Konrad

Sadly, I no longer have the car. I sold it about 5 years ago after a few years of struggling with a problem gearbox that no one could repair - unfortunately, I live in a vintage Porsche backwater. Although I can work with motors a bit, and rebuilt all the bodywork myself (teaching myself panel beating over several years), the gearbox was way beyond me. After several thousand dollars were spent on "experts", I realised that the car was deteriorating in inactivity, and someone else should have their day.<br /><br />I missed the car the moment it was out of my garage. Still do. There was some fortune in that the 356 had realised a decent sum of money. Enough to consider another Porsche. I looked around and decided on a used black-on-black Boxster S. And this is the point of my writing to you. This is an absolutely fabulous driver. It has real power and it is a better driving car than a 911. With the hood down (almost all the time), it is so good for the soul. This is my therapy. Drive one!<br /><br />Regards from Perth<br /><br />DerekDerek Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11179554011376587459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-40144003840682799782017-06-06T09:13:52.446-05:002017-06-06T09:13:52.446-05:00Sounds like a blast, Konrad.

He bought one brand new, fell in love with it, then it was wrecked when he was the victim of a traffic accident. While not nearly as curvy as the 911, he was definitely a fan of the raw muscle.
