Chris, try the Travel Lodge in Winchester, 540 665 0685, next exit down from Shoney's. About same price as Shoney, ask for SP discount.

Thanks for the advice. I come from MD though, so going to Winchester is a bit of a hike. The Town House, ah, what a place, is my normal hang out when in town. Interesting stories about that place.

Chris, stay at the Turf!!! I just booked a room there for Fri. and Sat. I hear it's walking distance from the slots. Maybe I can win enough to pay for the Big Reds I just got!

LOL

I remember hearing 'I'll get the 993 and will never have to change a thing".

See you at the Turf.

And how many cars have you been through in the last year? Carrera? Mini? What else? Every 993 needs at least $5k in mods before it's right.

I just saw your post Chris. I'm going up tomorrow to look at this car. Kind of the same thinking - at least it would give me something to toy around with for a while and get on the track. It's only been a couple of months since I sold my car and I haven't stopped looking! Did anything other than the hatch scare you away? I've been trying to get answers/line up a time to see the car since he posted the ad, but have been having trouble getting in touch with him.

I'll be honest. I'm ready to buy the car. I emailed the seller asking to take it to my mechanic for a quick check, he said no. Hmmm. I dont want to read anything into it, but it doesnt sound good to me. He said he is going to part it out now. He has ads on pelican with it's parts already spoken for.

The ecu was on the passenger floor. There is no headliner, rear seats, trim or carpet. Other than that it looks nice.
