newby in Arizona

Hi, my name is Ron.
I just joined this site at the invitation of friends on the FEP forum.
I have a black 88 Turbo Coupe that I bought a couple of years ago. It now has a little over 218,000 miles on a stock, basically untouched engine.
The only modifications to the car are: 17" five spoke wheels, 2 1/2" catless dual exhaust, and a front mounted K & N air filter. It has original paint and interior.
Speed is just a question of MONEY How fast can you go?    (M. M.)

Thanks for the welcome!
I did upload a few pics to my album the night that I registered onto this site. I don't seem to be able to login to photobucket right now to upload a couple to this thread. Please be patient & I will try later to post some.

I was finally able to get this pic that my girlfriend took of me and the TC last week, uploaded from a site called free image hosting.
