I have some user questions and would like to get a racing yellow bezel for my O, S, S+, I. My friend Tim suggested that I contact this website to purchase one.
Welcome to Carpokes! Not sure which Tim recommended Carpokes, but please give him our thanks! Happy to get you a yellow mode dial cover for your '18 991TTS. (I had an '18 991TTS in Guards Red and loved that car!) If you want to email me at admin@carpokes.com, we can get you fixed up with the mode dial cover.

You mentioned other questions as well -- feel free to post away in the 991/992 section and we'll do our best to respond: viewforum.php?f=14

Welcome to Carpokes. My family stayed in Paso Robles over a holiday weekend in 2021 (we are in So Ca) and had a great time. If you feel so inclined, please post some photos of your cars. Thanks for joining.

Oh my goodness - 55 years ownership of your 356C. That is magnificent! (Well beyond magnificent actually.)

Welcome to Carpokes and yes, a huge thanks to Tom for setting up the site.

"Shuffling through the posts" is an excellent description of what I did when I first joined (and still do!). There is so much content here already and some incredible people contributing and sharing their wealth of knowledge and love of Porsches and all things automotive.

Another group of fantastic Porsches! Nice!

Welcome to Carpokes - glad you found the site and signed up. Thanks for becoming a part of the community we have here and thanks for the pictures - the more the merrier! Also, thank you for the 40 years of duty - much appreciated!

I have a feeling there are interesting stories behind your Porsches and maybe more pics too, so please share if you are so inclined. :thumbup:

Hey everyone. Brian from Northern VA. I have had my 1983 911SC Targa for about a year and a half now and love it. Have had some other fun cars in the past (BMW e30, 5.0 mustang) as well as a handful of bikes but this one is definitely a keeper. Bought it from a coworker at a great price and have been giving it the TLC it desperately needed. I try and make it out to local C&C's but hopefully will make it out to more this fall.
