Default Riviera Blue 993 Sighting at The Glen
I've been out of the 993 fold for a while now but hope to be returning one of these days soon. A recent decision to make a job change that brings us back home to our roots means I'm spending more on houses than cars at the moment. But the 968 is making a reasonable substitute until the right time to jump back in a 993 arrives. Moving home means I'm living and working in the Watkins Glen area. Does this beauty belong to a Rennlister? Saw it today on the way to a lunch meeting downtown. Damn hard going to work everyday with Porsche race cars all over town!

I'm pretty sure that's Bill Verburg's car, a great RLister. Nice set up...

Beautiful car Bill! Just wondering though: don't you have problems with your lowered suspension on the roads in your neighborhood? Over here, driveways are not so steep as they are often in the States...

yes, I have to be very careful, I have a slight angle into my driveway so the car has to come in at an angle and even then it's on 3 wheels.

It's not really much of a street car anymore

Some more beauty shots in a better environment

Hi Glen,

Must have just missed you, was at the 48 hours of the Glen this past weekend. Great track and finally got a chance to try out the new gearbox.
I love short gears . Your car looks great!! Gotta like the garages

Cheers,
Geoff
