Welcome aboard Sir, and a sincere thank you for your service to our country!!

Partially retired attorney myself, now spending most my time trying to make Carpokes the best Porsche forum on the internet. :) I fear I'll never have the knees or back to get in and out of a 914 going forward, but love the 914-6. Our air-cooled section needs more love -- if ever inclined would love to see your avatar car in more detail!

Hi Guys, my name is Fernando Farias, I live in Monterrey México, I have a Porsche Shop, doing service and full restorations. Actually working on 15 911s, 912s, and 356
I drive a 2019 Carrera T with a 7 speed manual transmision, I really like it.
My first Porsche was a 69 911S, I found it in Texas and took it to México and restored it, that was in 2005.
I have been working on Porsches since 1983 when I started my Shop.
My love for the brand started in the early 70s, I spent my sumes in México City where I had an uncle that had several 911s, I spent time just looking at them, and I had a brother in law that had a 356B, he took me for many unforgetable rides.

Hi Fernando and welcome to Carpokes. Beautiful 911 photo. 🤙🏻 If possible, please post some photos of your shop and some of the restorations you’re working on.
Thanks for joining.

Welcome aboard Fernando! Great to have more pro's joining the board! I had a former workmate/friend from Monterrey (for many generations) and he just longed to get back -- looked beautiful in his family pictures. :) What color is that 992? Maybe just the lighting in the picture but it looks half way between Guards Red and Lava Orange??
