| It's nice to see ... Pedro (Odessa, FL) - 6 years ago |
... so many "old" (not regular) monikers popping up lately.
Paralizer, macsak, Meredith, Karl, old timer, etc.
It's great to hear from all of you!
There are also hundreds of lurkers on PB as well.
When I check the roster to do upkeep of the Forum, I notice that almost half of our active members (48.9%) have NEVER posted on the board.
That means that these members are regular visitors but for whatever reason they choose to stay in the shadows.
Come on! Time to post something, even just a "hi there".
Happy Porscheing,
Pedro

i agree, pedro
a couple of stories-
i have a patient that has a similar build, coloration, accent, beard/mustache/hair as you and his name is Pedro!
he goes by "Pete" sometimes though
i doubt he has any idea why i like him so much
i moderate a local gun forum here in hawaii
i have gotten a couple of private messages on that forum from a "cecil" in florida
he was given the link by a friend, and he noticed that one of the most prolific posters was named "macsak"
LOL
have a great weekend

Hey! What a Friday night. Great to see some of the old 51.1% of the regular visitors here. Feels like old times. Next thing you know, Joanne's going to be stalking some ship or somebody's going to push the Kaboom button on the dash of their Boxster.
It'd be great to hear some of the "silent" 48,9% tell us about one of their favourite posts and a little about themselves.

Fellow long-timers! Nice to see your names again.
My original car is running well (and faster). Not the original engine, and the "nth" transmission, but still.... I probably put fewer than 2,000 miles on it per year now, but they are the most demanding miles.

Great article, as usual, Pedro.
Specially informative for those who want to learn more about the role of the ECU and a great guide for those people wanting to add more power to their Porsches. As you pointed out in the article, today's cars are much more complicated than back in the "good old days". Amazing what mileage and performance advances electronics have helped manufactures make and at the same time reduce emissions. There's a lot to consider if you want to successfully add power.

your leather bits are still serving me well
Thanks, Doug! I was tempted to post a photo of some embarrassing random leather clothing and say "well it fits you better now anyway", but this is a family friendly site....
(When I gutted the interior of my car during the Spec Boxster conversion process, Doug purchased the leather seats and other items, if I recall. Door panels? Console trim? Anyway.)
Doug and Kevin ... two of my friends going all the way back to that first track day at Thunderhill!

It would be great to see you, Pedro! I usually go to all of the club races at Thunderhill, Laguna Seca, and Sonoma (Sears Point). There are usually 2 at TH (and 2 at Buttonwillow), 1 at LS and SP. This year I decided to ease off a bit (so busy) so I skipped / am skipping both BW events, since it's furthest away.

I admit to doing a drive by of the board from time to time. It's great to see the old names.
The 2003 Boxster was on its way to being an SPB car last time I saw her. Second blown 2.7 engine, so the shell was being prepped for a new life.
I still have a Porsche. the 2006 Cayman I acquired after the 1st blown engine in the Boxster in 2010, Each year of its life, it keeps losing the factory trim and gaining new bits for the track. Never sees the highway anymore - only the racetrack. Mostly run with PCA as an instructor and Red group drover. Just got back from VIR over the holiday weekend and Road Atlanta is next in October.
My wife and I were headed to a winery yesterday and we got to talking about buying a new convertible to bum around in. Who knows, maybe another Boxster? That's how the first one was purchased. And, here I am cruising by this place...
Hope everyone is well and the Florida contingent faired well in the storm.
Cheers.
Dave
