Mfletch, Thanks for sharing the pooches and the service. We all owe you and your team a BIG thank you! for everything you do to keep us safe every day. I for one am glad that you are here and happy to share a great hobby/sport/appreciation like Porsche with you and others in uniform.

I once lived in South Lake and got down to Placerville often. Keep up the good work and thanks again.

Here is a shot of our "kids". My wife and I only have these two red pigs that do not need a college education. Saves money$$

bernocco, thanks for the kind words. Your kids are my wife's favorite breed. I worked for LA County from 85 to 91. I lived on the beach the entire time, but I almost bought a house in your area, it's a beautiful part of LA. If you are ever in the area, lunch or drinks are on me.
My in-laws live near Willow Springs...I would love to run my 996 there.

Mark, you are so welcome. Look you earn the praise every day you put yourself out there - kudos!!

My family has been in the Conejo Valley since the E A R L Y 60's and we love it out here. (kind of dates me) I married a valley girl and taught her what the sticks was all about. Took her awhile to get used to the lack of smell in the air although a well placed exhaust pipe got her through many a clear blue day and it seemed a little quiet for her until she discovered that I ususally had some kind of hot rod with loud exhaust hangin around the house to keep her hearing from improving. Then I actually got her interested in racing and she crew chief'd me to two SCCA division titles in small bore GT, not to mention all the vintage stuff. Now she works on the P cars - WOW what a life.

If I am in the area I will look you up and you please do the same. We both look forward to meeting you some day and we will take you up on that first round of Iced Tea or Lemonade.

We are diggin your SL............ too cool.

Here is the Mrs. doing what she does best.......

bernocco, I think it's great that your wife shares your hobby with you. My wife helped me rebuild mine. The SL was my way of thanking her. We both have "keepers". The picture of your wife with high heels and a red short skirt, while working on the Porsche is priceless. I'm sure we'll get to meet someday....I'll look forward to it.
MrC4, those are great pictures of your cars and bike. You obviously know how to use a camera.
Arnee, where else would you park your motor cycle?

WOW, they both are blessed. I think those pictures would qualify for the "disregard this thread" post.

I'm guessing he's a low profile sort of guy.

Doesn't like to stand out in a crowd.....

Duane, you have a fantastic collection of cars. How close is the AMG to the TT in acceleration? I encountered one in my Saleen that had been clocked in the high 11s at the drag strip on slicks.

OK, Here we go!

The Exploder is the DD - Over 90k miles, still looks/runs great
The Durango is the wife's/family vehicle, the wagon and trike are my daughters transportation. The trike needs a little work, but note the cool horn mod...

Don - the last two pics are great!

You need to put 8" wheels on the red wagon and lower it a bit.

The trike needs some Aluminum Pedals to match the front fender and the "steering wheel," and the steering wheel column needs a Silver Porsche Crest.
