Good looking 911. It's a bit sobering to realize that 1998 was 28 years ago.

And 1988 was even 38 years ago, LOL

Cheers

Good catch and thanks!

Funny thing is that I initially wrote "38 years" when I was composing the post and then told myself "no!", it's only 28 years since 1998. So I edited my post, proceeding to write my reply as though the 911 in question was a 1998 rather than the correct 1988. Brain malfunction leads to compounding errors.

My current Porsche which is a 1970 911T Targa just returned to factory original Olive. Daily driver is a 2017 Porsche Macan S.

Thanks! The car is a great driver with earned patina. I've put about 7,000 miles on it and have taken it on 7 club/rally drives and numerous backroad adventures. It's fun to drive with newer air-cooled 911s and leave them behind!
