I got a new summer job with a professor here at U of D. The guy owns 14 porsches and has about 25-30 total sitting at his house!!! I get to detail nice 911s and soon i am going to get to work in the shop doing engine swaps and rebuilds and stuff. The cars and tools and parts he has just boggle my mind. he has a 911 gt3r engine sitting in his garage and a gt3r frame sitting in his trailer!!! this guy is litterally living the dream, getting paid to work on and hook up porsches. the guy got bored and dropped nitrous on a 944 turbo. it is now nicknamed the widowmaker for a reason. I posted about this in the parts wanted section because he also has tons of parts and rims. they are mainly for the 944 but i assume he has some lying around that will fit a 924 or 924S. check out his racecar at www.instant-g.com and some of the mods he has done to some cars.

Awesome! Ah, yes, Dr. Timmins! A long-familiar face from rennlist... nearly made it to one of his Cinco-de-Mayo parties once...

Do send him our best... and be sure to learn a lot while you're there!!

Exactly, Dr. Timmins. I take it he is well known if you know about him all of the way up there.

I knew that he was a big deal in the world of porsches around here, but i really didnt expect you to know of him. Small world i guess.
