Intro - 914 coming soon, Bought a 2.0, just not the one I thought I was going to buy Options

[arne]

Hey, all. Thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Arne and I'm addicted to cars. (Audience replies, "Hi, Arne.")

While I'm new here, and don't yet have a 914, I'm not new to fun cars, nor am I new to online car forums. Prior (and current) fun rides include '81 Scirocco S, Jetta GLI 16v, Corrado G60, MGB, BMW e21 323i, multiple Datsun 240Zs, a 944 and an '84 911 Carrera 3.2. All but the 911 are gone.

Online, I'm somewhat active in the 911 tech board on Pelican, am a moderator at myaudia3etron.com, and am a retired admin on classiczcars.com.

In real life, I retired last summer, and so I now entertain myself by buying, repairing and selling fun cars. The last one was the 944 listed above. I live in Western Oregon where rust is not as prevalent as in other parts of the country due to lack of road salt use.

I'm here now because I have a tentative deal pending on a '73 2.0. Might be a few weeks before I take possession as we are waiting on clear papers from Oregon DMV. But once past that hurdle, I'm sure I'll be needing some advice as I learn my way through getting the car back on the road.

Since intro threads always need pictures, but I don't yet have my 914, here's a few of some of the other cars.
