RL 964 Public Library - The Gold-Plated Porsche
The Gold-Plated Porsche: How I Sank a Small Fortune into a Used Car, and Other Misadventures by Stephan Wilkinson
I read this book and passed it on to a friend with a 911SC. It is now back in my hands. It is very entertaining, and I'd like to share it with whomever is interested.
If you want to borrow it (and live in the U.S.) please comment here. I will contact you via PM and mail it to you on my dime. Then it is your responsibility to mail it to the next guy on the thread and so on. I realize I may never see the book again, but I'm ok with that.

good thinking, still on the fence about the meet, pending weather. You're #1 regardless

I did the same with my copy. When I finished reading it, I passed it to a friend and told him to pass it to another when he was done (not sure if he did or not...)
