Guys, this is the original Wolfturbo posting - Rob Wolford out in California.

Several years ago there was a movement on Rennlist to change our user names to our actual names for transparency purposes. Maybe a good idea, maybe a bad idea but I did it nonetheless.

Shortly thereafter, someone just had to poach my prior wolfturbo username. Rather annoying to me, since I continue to be wolfturbo on several other car websites and my email address for the past 20 years has been wolfturbo@xxxxxxx. Also annoying to me because I have been very active in the vintage and modern racing community for the past 15 years, with an unimpugned reputation I might add.

I have been contacted several times today by people wondering if it is really me posting in such a crass manner. NO, this wolfturbo is not Rob Wolford!!!!!

I have done business with Michael Kelter and he knows darn well that I wouldn't be publicly groveling for a finder's fee to help a fellow enthusiast out. No chance.

I hope this posting clears things up a bit.

Rob Wolford - the original wolfturbo

Magdaddy,

Those sound like prophetic words of wisdom from another father with daughter(s).

I remind myself every day that when I take the net present value of 3 college educations, 3 weddings, 3 down payments on homes, I probably have a negative net worth!!!

Thankfully I have done a great job brainwashing all of them into motorheads. My youngest has faint memories of me having a CGT, now she wants me to get another one so I can remove the roof panels and drive her to school. Good problem for me to have!!!

Thanks Rob, I knew you would never act in such a manner and am glad you had the chance to clear your name.

An exception would be if secretcollector was a dealer/flipper, which does not appear to be the case.

A person who has an interest in Porsche is asking others with the same interest for help in finding a car. That's all I take it for.
I paid a broker 5% to find me a non sunroof car.

If I could join Rennlist without revealing my identity I just might.

Prevent non members from posting, read only access would suffice. That would fix this douchebag cowardly imposter problem once and for all. I think paying members deserve it. Best of luck to the OP.

You have already revealed the true you. Can't do much more damage going forward. Surprised you only valued that at 10%. Should be worth much more to you, don't ya think.

Price slightly more reasonable than the French one ...
If your interested, i have very good connection to the Swiss Porsche scene.

Please be VERY careful with the swiss GT2...it was involved in a very serious accident a while ago in Monza! Apparently it was fixed sparing no expenses and with a new chassis...but, although I have no evidence of this, after it was repaired it was apparently involved in another accident with the new owner.

I'm quietly in the mkt as well for one and I had a look at all of them in the past, there is a high mileage LHD 1 owner car here in the UK that I'm trying to track down with no luck at the moment!

Few pictures after the accident, for the posterity...

Thanks Max, I will obviously stay far away from that car. It was clearly wrecked on the track, as it is wearing ATS race wheels - common to these cars at that time if they were race-prepared.

To all who have followed yesterday's posts here - I was contacted directly last evening by the RL user "Wolfturbo". His lead sounds legitimate at first glance, and he is going to be getting back to me with true details in the coming days. Should be interesting to see how it plays it, for sure.
