That thing was a good looking machine. sorry to see it go but i'm sure for what you need for the track racing you do, the evo will be a better fit.

it was HIS 993 (I still have my RED 993 - her's)


...so he wasn't there to cry as it left.. he left that job to me


....I'm not sure I could have done it with my own 993



...but yeah, he gave it up for the EVO... I hope he knows what he is doing!

that's what I'm thinking... but if it's just as much fun to drive at the track, I can understand why he did it.. if it isn't... I forsee him selling the eVO and buying another porsche
