Question Harm Lagaay, the father from...........

Don't laugh! This is serious.

I wanted to be a designer in my younger years, a Automobile designer.

I made some progress on that, then I stopped. My parents where not rich enough to send me to a design school in San Francisco or Switserland. No hard feelings there mam and dad.

But, in 1984 I met the Dutchman Harm Lagaay, he was working for Ford in Germany back then and visited me at my parents home. He was visiting his parents back then who lived in Arnhem, the Netherlands. He cam to us and Looed what I made and talked about my future plans then. He made some great drawings for me, and gave me some lessons in design. I was too young back then, so it didn't worked out. After a few years he went to BMW and then to Porsche.

Harm Lagaay is since 1986 [I am not exact. sure] Design Chief at the Porsche Design Center in Zuffenhausen Germany. So....the 964 and 993 and all those great Porsche's untill now contain his idea's. Also the new GT is his job [with the help of all his people].

Now I want to contact him again and will thank him for all those great cars he designed. But....... I have no adress or e-mail. Does somebody nows a way how to contact him??

Sorry about the date, 1986 should be 1989. In 1989 he started his job as Chief designer at Porsche Design. Starting on that date, every new modell was his responsibility.

Nice day

I would call it a 'guess' rather than a 'comment'. I was concerned that you would not get any replies, so I just tried to help out in a humourous manner (well I thought it was humourous anyway).

Have you tried it though?
