Ladies and Gents,

I'd like to keep the community aware that the "Bad Boys" Turbo 3.6 is now in wonderful hands with the Drendel Collection here in Hickory, NC and many thanks to Mike for helping preserve it.

I had my first glimpse of the car this afternoon, and I must say, you can almost hear Martin Lawrence yelling at Will Smith when you get close enough to it!

Anyway, onto the pictures of the car...










Enjoy!

Frank 993 C4S

Hope it doesn't just get hidden away in a garage somewhere! The license plate alone is priceless.

Low 964

It needs lowering.............

Amazing car, is it for sale?

Trevor Ely

Wise man once said, "Everything's For Sale" ...But, I wouldn't imagine this one will be going anywhere for a while.

Bad Boys 1

Well it looks like Trevor beat me to it. I was going to announce sale of the car
soon , just wanted to make sure buyer was OK with his name being out there.

After months of conversations, with many people, I finally decided to let it go.
I know this probably makes me the biggest hipocrite here, as I said I would not
sell.

However I feel it is going to a great guy who will seriously take care of it and
finish what I started. Some here know what I put into this car since my purchase.

I am certain many will think it was just about the money, I assure you it was not.
I felt like this was a very special Porsche and to just drive it would take away a
valuable piece of history. On the other side of the coin I'm not one to just let it sit
while I look at it. The man who purchased this car has a very large collection of
rare and special cars and thru this process we have come to know each other
pretty well. He will take great care of it and I will purchase another and drive it
and enjoy it.

It was great to have owned this car and I have met many people and made
new friends. I'll post photos of my new purchase as soon it made. Until then
here are some photos of my last day with the car.

Mike,

Ouch last day pictures are always tough. I know it must have been tough to see it go. I will also confirm the fact that you had no interest in selling and drove the stink out of it the way it was meant to be driven.

Bad Boys 1

Anthony......Took it out for one last blast before loading it up.

Almost had to return the deposit.........at about 125mph someone made a left
in front of me!!......

At least you gave it a good flogging before it went bye bye. LOL Sending you a PM.

I can see how it would be very dissapointing to own a car like this, use it when you can and then it gets damaged. A piece of history damaged forever.

At least with another car it wouldn't be quite so bad if it did get damaged.

Good luck finding a new car to enjoy with less responsibility.
Im in the same boat having sold mine recently.No rush , just waiting for the right car and
enjoying the process.

You know Jonny, I was thinking of you too when I wrote my post.

Bad Boys 1

Honestly I was always aware of the potential to wreck it.

I'm sure driving the next one will be more fun and less stressful.
Besides I drive like a nut any way.LOL

I have my eye on a couple of cars now. Was going to do a flachbau, but
thought this would just be the same dilemma, afraid to damage or put
excessive milage. So I will just get another 3.6
