Birthday Greetings to a 993 Board Great
Today is the birthday of that amazing repository of all things 993, and our long-time moderator, the legendary Viken.
Whereever he is, and whatever he's driving, I hope he's enjoying himself.

Ditto that. For those who don't know, Viken possesses legendary 993 knowledge. Actually, kinda like The Stig, I'm not sure Viken is a real person.
I can almost hear Jeremy Clarkson now ... "Some people say that he can post on Rennlist while sleeping, and sense tire tread depth by sound. All I know is that he goes by 'Viken'."

Happy birthday, Viken!! I miss your flowery posts. 
IIRC, Viken left for other reasons prior to the "mass" 993 exodus.

Viken was the keeper of the truth indeed. Most of us, me included, are simply regurgetators of past posts. Viken was the real deal. Harsh or not, I'd like him back as part of the board without question.

Happy BD to Viken!
He was a veritable storehouse of information and shared that wealth when he could; he was an asset to this board. Hope all is well with you! ...hope he gets this

Suffice to say Viken was a great source of technical information about the 993 and very helpful and longstanding contributor. Happy birthday!
