I am Sharky, the latest addition to Eric's fleet, and not built by Karmann. I was born in 1990 in Zuffenhausen. I arrived on 20 July 2011 and just had enough chance to say goodbye to Eric's Mk2 Storm Rocco, which I seemed to have replaced.
I am in good company with Roodster and Innocence, and immediately had my own garage .
I am a much more complex beast compared to the other 2 cars, which means that Eric will probably not work on everything on me himself. He has done some work on me so far, because quite a few things did not work when he got me. Slowly but surely I am getting there, with more and more things working again.
Let's see how long I can stay original, but I am confident that with me being a Porsche even Eric realises that it's best to keep me original.
Eric joined TIPEC (The Independent Porsche Enthusiasts Club) and the 928 Mailing List in the UK shortly after I had arrived, and as a result I have already met some other 928s, and have even been abroad to the Netherlands and Germany a few times (for a bit of Autobahn action!)
