Hello from Eugene, Oregon!
hello everyone! I am thrilled to be part of this community. I have been reading the forum anonymously for about a year and only actually registered when I wanted to PM a member to ask him some questions. Thanks to Mark Eaton, fellow Oregonian, for responding. I enjoyed our chat last weekend.
As for me, I live in Eugene, Oregon but am originally from Texas. I have 3 kids (ages 9-14). I am a urologist, so feel free to send me your best jokes. My father already asked me if I was going to assemble the car through the tailpipe.
As for a build, I am still at the early planning stages for a Mk IV. My general timeline is to go to build school and order a kit sometime in the next year and then take 2 years to build it. I am hoping to finish before my oldest graduates high school.
Cannot overstate how impressed I am with the amount of information in these forums. Appreciate all of you. I plan to reciprocate with own build thread once I get started in 2021
thanks!
Chris

sounds great! I will be there -- excited to see your roadster in person. When it gets closer, I'll touch base with you by phone to coordinate time, directions, etc.

Welcome to the madness. Your plan sounds like a good one. I won’t crack any jokes, but the different vanity plates associated with your profession could be a riot.
