Wife, three kids, two dogs, garage full of European cars, I'm living the American dream. BTW I investigate and manage liabilities for a Fortune 500.

Not hating. Just havin' a laugh :)

 

Old Porsches are great little cars. I love em. When I was a bit younger, about 15 years ago, I had this project car that I built. Well, to be honest I bought it about half done and finished it.

It was a 1971 VW Super Beetle. It had extensive body and frame customization. The frame was stretched. The fenders were reworked so they were more streamline. The rear seats were pulled out along with all the interior trim and replaced with diamond plate aluminum sheet and black vinyl and a roll bar was welded behind the two front seats. What really made it look mean was the roof had been chopped down and lowered in the front so that it had just a 6" tall vertical windshield. The VW engine was swapped with an engine from a Porsche 911 along with the H pattern transmission. It was painted bright yellow with blue flames on the front. It was just a blast to drive.

That was the car that really was responsible for getting me interested in cars (Because I was always underneath it every weekend fixing a broken valve spring or tinkering with the carbourators or fixing the oil cooler (which would have a habit of leaking :lol: )

Really sorry, but I just couldn't resist this.

 

 

 

I'm a regional/strategic lead for a national literacy charity in the UK - if you've had kids in the last 10 years you've probably had free books and resource bags from us at various points.

 

Manage the south of England, spend a coupla days a week away from home and a coupla days every few weeks overniting at head office in London working on projects.

 

 

hehe, busted for lazy 'text' talk!!

 

Nicely done black263, though you did let me get away with a 'coupla' other ones . . . . :giggle:

912 is a 66 I restored myself. It's like driving a high powered go cart. Will have to wait a while on a new Range but your right that interior is futuristic and the horsepower rivals or exceeds most sports cars.

Below is what I can do with a classic car but opening up an automatic watch seems terrifying to me.

I had a '67 912 back in the day. Ugliest color of road paint yellow I've ever seen. Really, really underpowered. Didn't matter, at the time I loved it.

I had a "67 "911-S "detuned" SCCA race car back then that wasn't even slightly "underpowered"!!....It could chirp the tires shifting from 3rd to 4th at 100 MPH!!

I've worked, retired early, took my pension, gone back to the same company getting a salary and still getting my pension and paying in to another pension. That's a lot of pensions in one sentence.

A watch hobby can get pretty pricey, so I'm just wondering: what do you guys do for a living? Do you have kids? I'm just curious :chatty:

 

 

Used to be a professor of history; wifey was a professional, too, which enabled my, uh, "habit." A brain tumor ended my career but luckily not my life.
