Default David Donohue's old ride

Someone told me last weekend at the track that my car used to belong to David Donahue. He said the car in the current issue of Pano about Donahue is it. That car looks like a 930 to me. Oh well.

You could always call him up and ask him.

I seem to have misplaced his number. Could you help a brother out.

He lives not far from you; drive the car over and ask him.

I know a gentleman here in CVR that has (confirmed, his name is on the title) D.D.s last 911 before going pro, it is a teal-ish green wide-body with a 3.2 in it. Perhaps he is confusing them???? It sure would cool though :-)

Patti at Brumos racing sent DD an email for me. Oh well. I can't believe there are two teal wide bodies. let alone two in the tri-state area.

OK, I just got my new Pano today and yes, the car that is pictured is owned by Paul Kudra here in CVR. He is running Fikse wheels now iso fuchs. some specific elements of this car are the 934 front spoiler, the wide body with no rocker covers, 3.2 engine and early turbo (non-intercooled) tail.

I heard from D.D. today. I sent him some pictures. He said the picture in Pano doesn't show what it looked like when he sold it and the person he sold it to made further changes. Butzip is probably right though.

Wow, too ironic... I met Paul Kudra and saw his car at Hershey this weekend. I forgot to ask him if he was on rennlist, but I remembered Mussberger's avatar and thought the two might be the same. I talked to Paul and his wife for a few minutes at the autocross, they seem like a great people...and that car....wow. I saw it (and heard it) from about 20 feet and instantly decided it was my favorite car there. So freakin cool! It did start life as a 78'SC just like Mussberger if I remember correctly,and the color is spot on from your avatar. I could see how someone might confuse the two cars!

Be careful, don't let Scott Pruitt catch you around it...

I don't mean to sound ignorant, but I'm not sure what you mean by that... I have only ever seen Mussberger's car in an avatar photo, maybe they aren't so similar?

David Donahue DRILLED Scott Pruitt in the rear yesterday at VIR. Lets just say SP was not to happy with DD and made his feelings known after the race.
