Just to introduce myself, new to The Club, new to Porsche but not particularly new to the World!

Car nut top-to-tail, bore for England on virtually any make/style/age/genre of car.

So Hello from me and mine, looking forward to the whole Porsche thing (reliability, lack-of-depreciation etc etc)

Thanks for the quick responses and warm welcome.

Sorry, car is not supercharged (doh, didn't make that connection!) The Charger bit refers to my much-missed Dodge Charger (sold, not gone for nasty reasons...) Maybe I SHOULD get the 911 'charged! (Wouldn't it need 2 of them though, or is it all different under there nowadays?)

This is Mrs G's computer so no Porsche-pix but will stick one on once I am back with my machine some time soon.

Best wishes to all.

Hi, welcome and happy Porsche ownership. Good to drive along knowing your car is not depreciating every mile it does while all around in there shiney new motors are :D
Hope to meet, chat and kick tyres some time at one of the shows. :wave:

Nope you only need one, several conversions have been done, generally giving an extra 100BHP or so.

MMMMMmmmmmm Dodge Charger big V8 rumble.......

Welcome to the world of TIPEC. I see our usual suspects have already asked location and need for pictures.

If you could just confirm blood group I think we are done for the first week.
