Find of the year?
When I went out to pick up some lunch a few minutes ago, I saw a pretty sweet looking black Carrera. It pulled into the same parking lot that I went to, so I walked over to check it out and meet the owner and his wife. He just purchased the car last week -- it's an '86 911 Turbo, black with grey interior, and only 20k miles! 20K miles!
The owner's name is Omar. Hopefully he (and his car) will show up at a get-together sometime in the not-too-distant future. I also gave him the Dorkiphus BB info, so he may show up here. He has a slight oil leak, so he can use our help

Oil leak? Sounds like that engine needs to come out.

OK. So here's the plan. David, you know the guy, so get him to Marc's house so we can "fix" that oil leak. One of the guys can take Omar on a "beer run" to Pittsburgh. We do the engine switch. Might as well switch the trannies too while we're in there. If he notices a decrease in engine power, we just tell him that sealing the oil leak probably created an "overpressure" situation in his engine, a common side effect of oil leak fixes--not our fault at all. I really think this is doable.

Jeeze, if I ever get a 993TT, remind me not to leave it parked near any of you guys!
