Appears this has been a successful sale all around. I'm in no rush for my parts so I won't tie up your line.

My guess is he was summoned and politely leaned-on to stop beating the GT3's and making senior management look bad for axing the 928

I'd be willing to bet that that topic does come up.

Meeeester Anderson, (in that imicable machine avatar voice from the Matrix)

You know, young man. You've been racing that bastard child of a discontinued Porsha platform and making our GT3 race cars look slow. That just must not be . . .



Can you imagine the rub if Mark gets to race one of those tail engined cars with BIG 928 International stickers and decals all over it.

Actually I was invited to the Porsche Motorsports party because I am the Yokohama cup champion driving a GT3 cup car. On top of meeting Roger Penske I also met Wendelin Wiedeking the CEO and President of Porsche. I also got a private tour of the new Porsche museum which is not open yet. There were 3 928's inside. I will post the details of my trip in a bit. It was an amazing experience.

The museum was amazing but I could not take any pictures
It is opening in January and they do not want anything leaked to the press yet.

iirc, porsche used to have a program where you could pick up your car at the factory, get a tour, go play on a test track w/a factory driver, then spend time tooling around europe before it gets shipped to the US.

always thought that'd be a dream vacation... on the other hand, a weekend w/jessica biel would be ok too... or touring europe w/JB

I am glad we got to speak also Jim especially before you closed for the weekend. The zip code we discussed for logistics is 59714.

BTW my post was supposed to be tongue in cheek as we didn't know you were running the whole show Jim................thx again for your input.
