I stop by the site usually once a day, but generally hang out in OT. My 951 sits with an expired inspection sticker and a dead battery. I'm ashamed, really.

I check in from time to time. I need to stop my AC from leaking refrigerant next year. I put in a new compressor and dryer 2 years ago but I must have an o-ring leaking somewhere.
From time to time I play with selling or trading it for a Boxster or 996. I'm getting to the point where comfort/modern conveniences are beginning to trump performance. I figure with a newer Porsche I may not necessarily sacrifice one for the other.

I check this forum every day. Not really the OT section as i usually go OT in the 'porsche forum australia' as it makes more sense for me.
I hope it gets more active here. As people here give out better info then the 'other' forum.

On this note, however... I just bought a Cayman S at the beginning of December. I can tell you that this made me want to finish several projects on the 951. I feel like the Cayman wants to go fast, the 951 just wants to have fun...

My 951 has been mothballed for too long since I got my S2.
I really need to change that.

I'm 944-less, these days.
I did see a nice Japanese S2 with script seats for sale locally, but I only have one parking space at the moment! Brian, I forgot that you live in Vancouver! I'm out here now, too.

Since I parked my 951, I bought a house and that has been draining all my time and money. But it looks like this spring things are going to free up and allow me to get back to it.
The S2 is also a blast to drive, mine has a tune, exhaust, monoball suspension, ect. It eats up any corner you could throw at it. Also I have other vehicles to DD, I work from home though so that kinda frees up the need for a true DD. I normally drive my slammed nissan hardbody around haha
