Wow JoAnne...beautiful car. How exciting~! I've been monitoring your 356 love for quite some time...I think it is getting infectious! I saw a British Racing Greenish 356 in Boston the other day. I followed it for blocks with great admiration...they are wonderful, beautiful cars. I think I may need to make room for one...

Wow, JoAnne, your car is incredible. I'm looking forward to seeing more photos!!

BTW, is that the cover that Intercity uses?? Is that an oil stain on it??

The Speedster has plastic and not one, but two covers on it! That is just the top cover. Guess a top deck car must of dripped on it at one time (maybe oil???). It looks like it's been laundered. Still, multiple covers are a must. Better safe than sorry.

They said delivery should be on Tuesday or Wednesday morning. You can bet I am counting the days!!

We went house hunting in Little Rock today and the first thing we checked out was the garage. If it wasn't big enough, why even bother looking at the house? I think the realtors thought we were insane. WE ARE!!!!! Insane for Porsche's!!!

David.... I think you should make room for another Porsche in the garage. There's something about 356's. Can't explain it. You just got to try it yourself. It's not a speed thing like with the 911's. It's something else. Magic I guess....

Truck Driver called late this afternoon. They were outside of Columbus Ohio. They had to drop off one car in Yorktown Ohio and then pick up another one in another town, She said they have been zig zagging the entire state. They should be here at about 5 or 6 o'clock tomorrow night, maybe sooner.

You are right... no sleep tonight AGAIN!!!!! To hyper to sleep!!!!!

Almost on R Can Saw soil.


Gretchen saying goodbye to her Intercity bunkmates.
Sorry for the finger in the pic. I was excited. I'm lucky any
of the pictures turned out at all the way I was shaking.


"And this here is the steering wheel"......


As Robert says "Always the Boss"....

Gisel (sp?) 1/2 of the Intercity drivingteam. She was super.
Called to let me know where they were all the time. Her
husband was just as nice.


Does he look happy or what? I'm very happy when he is
happy......


Off he goes happily into the sunset......
