Congrats William!!
Next time we have to connect before the craziness so I can keep my promise to take you for a spin in the 612.

Indeed, it was an epic Monterey weekend for 928 enthusiasts on the whole. Congrats again to Minerva - it was a privilege to show next to her and meet her caretakers. Here's a piece from BaT on my week with ex-BC's 928S:

Congratulations to all, and most especially to Rob and William for what I regarded as a predictable and deserved victorious outcome

David, we are totally sympatico! Besides being very well written, your account conveys the joy you expressed when you shared your experience with your new 928.
Great to have you in the 928 fold!

Thank you William. Joy all around to the 928 community this week, and more congrats to you and Mark for such a lovely job on the car with an exquisite debut presentation.

William A

Very kind words, Dave, thank you!
We certainly did this to the best of our ability for ourselves, but felt an obligation to the 928 community as well. Compliments from fellow enthusiasts mean that much more as a result of that. Cheers!

phe·nom·e·nal Will Minerva and the rest of these fine 928's be on display at upcoming Sharktoberfest ? T

Congrats to both of you.

Greatly deserved.

Who's the gentleman in pics 6 and 7 in Mark's post?

Rob Edwards

If William is in town, Yes. If William is not in town, yes.

William A

that fine gentleman is Jack Brown, who is also in pics 6 & 7 of post 91 of Mark Woudsma from Tue at Concour on the Avenue.


Jack is a long time air cooled collector (several 356s, Speedster, 912s, 911s) from Fullerton, CA, and could not be more complimentary regarding Minerva. On Fri, I requested a picture of him sitting in the car, and assured him that once ensconced in the cork interior, a smile was guaranteed. He was not disappointed, and I found Jack and his wife to be delightful and enthusiastic collectors, even after all these years. Thanks for asking, he is a true Porsche gentleman!

Thanks to you William.

Congrats again!

I too noticed and wondered who the distinguished gentleman was. Thanks for sharing.
