My dad's, but yeah it was more like the negative image of that pic. That was back in the mid 70s though which was a different world.

My number actually would have been higher if Porsche build slots were at all predictable at the turn of the century. We wanted to honeymoon on a Euro Delivery with a snow boarding trip through the Alps. Damn slot kept getting delayed though so it was just England, Wales, Scotland, and Canada we saw for the honeymoon.
I am planning on doing the Euro drive in the next few years, Top Gear style. Fly in, buy me a used car under $1,500...drive across countries I haven't been in yet... And then cap it off by taking the car to Nurburgring. And then donate/recycle car if it is still alive before flying back.

That sounds cool. Just remember that TG has a massive budget and crew that is capable of making it look like a cheap POS actually made it through whatever ludicrous task they set it upon ;)

You know that I would do it properly. And buy me the best choice by far! A Lancia Beta, coupe - a wise man's choice!

Or if I wanted to spend a bit more, I can buy the rolling sex on wheels like below. But, I would ha e a hard time leaving the red Brera behind....as I would fall in love with the thing.

Office Christmas party tonight. Currently wearing the obligatory ugly sweater. It's so hot I think the damn thing is made of asbestos. I need to turn it over to NOAA as it might actually be the cause of Global Warming.

Transferred the funds today for my 991 S. I'll make a new thread when it gets here. Preliminary pix ( note funny headlights).
