In recent days I learned I would be sharing the space with some significant Brumos cars...
Maybe I brought the wrong 928

The entire staff at the Porsche Experience center was fantastic, and I thank them all for their hospitality and assistance to arrange a space for #1. This guy, Ray Shaffer, (on right, Classic Restoration Manager) gets the majority of the credit for managing the museum displays and arranging the exhibitions. Thank you again Ray for bringing our (and all) 928s to the attention of your visitors.

#1 will reside at the museum for around six months.

+1, this is really cool. Now you have 5 months and 29 days to get the Brumos car shipshape, you can swap it in in July.

+1.

This car fully deserves his place in an event - museum like this.
It's part of the Porsche history for sure.
And It's just the beginning…

Andrew, you brought this car back to life in a very exceptional way.
You have all my admiration.
Thank you so much.

I had the chance to see this car, sit in it, and talk to you at the PVGP in 2017.
I will never forget that weekend for the rest of my life.
Thanks again for taking the time - and I know it's a lot - to bring this very unique car back to like.
To me you're now part of the Porsche 928 history just like #1.

All the best.

A fleet of Brumos race cars surrounds us and almost everyone is fixating on the 928... Changing times, and real interest in the car...

The car will be displayed with the door open and the Pasha revealed in all its glory!

Your car looks like it absolutely belongs there.

What a great story on so many levels!

Highly recommend a visit to this facility and staying at the Solis hotel. Walking distance and great restaurants.



One of the most interesting lighting fixtures I have encountered!




Thanks go to drooman and the entire staff at PCNA for their hospitality and support.
