Talking Intercity will be bringing our newest Baby to us soon!!!!!

I can't wait!!!!!!! Here's a picture taken of it at the East Coast Holiday in Williamsburg:



It sort of just dropped in our laps while we were on our "Long Strange Trip" to La La Land to deliver Max to his new Owner. It's a 1955 and belonged to a friend. We are on the books with Intercity and the car should be here within three weeks. YIPEEEE!!!!!! Robert has finally come full circle. He first fell in love with Porsche's when he spotted his first Speedster along Route 66 somewhere in Texas when he was 7 years old. Now he has one. YIPPPPEEEE!!!!

Beautiful. I fell in love with Porsches in 1958 or so when one of my dads friends gave me a ride in his black speedster. I was a wee lad but it left a lasting impression.

Thanks Everyone. We are counting the days. I hope they (Intercity) will be able to move us up in the schedule so we can get her here soon. We can hope anyway..... I can't wait to get to wax those curves!!!!! Gee, that sounds a little strange coming from a woman doesn't it???

Harry, I know that the owner ran a kardex. The car was originally Red and was completely restored in 2002 to spec. She put on 15 inch wheels (likes them more, bettter ride) but is sending the date correct 16's. Actually she is sending us 5 of them! More info coming........

I'm sure you'll get a ride. Maybe we'll even give Harry a ride, if he comes this time!!!

What??? You've been talking to our neighbors behind the gates??? they think no one "Beyond the gates" is capable of having any money at all. Especially younger retired folks. Wait a cotton picking minute! They ARE from California and they DO drive PORSCHE'S. They just HAVE to be drug dealers FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!! Anyone ever heard of a little place called Home Depot??

Thanks!
