Pictures are pretty good as well!

A good number of the pics are from iPhone (with a bit of Photoshop).

Did I miss the story of why it's called the Final Drive? Laurance, was this John Lee's old 993?

I enjoyed the article and pictures immensely. I have to quote Captain Slow;

"It's a love letter to a car" and add that it has some steamy snap shots as well.

Anson,

They call them "final drives" because they're in theory the last road test - all of the final drives are of cars that are no longer on sale, but have some sort of significance to the writer.

No, it isn't John Lee's old car. His had a black interior, sport seats, and way fewer miles...

Whew.
For a second there I thought you were writing about your "final drive" before selling.
Awesome article and well written.

Thanks! The one on Bertha Benz will be less, uh, effusive...

Laurance great article, although I am feeling pretty melancholy now that mine is gone albeit to a very good home. Trust we will see you out to a few gatherings this year.

Great read. Nice shots around the gta too.

What are prices for a car like that these days?

obviously the TT's have gone bananas.

Nice work Laurance!

Breakfast - I would like to think the prices for my car have gone bananas as well!
