Default RIP Peter Schutz

Andreas and Frank may (rightfully) be the gods of Porsche GT cars today but they owe it all to this man....

In October 1983 I went to the factory on the Treffen to pick up my new Carrara Cabriolet. On delivery day Peter came out to the parking area where our cars were waiting and handed the key to each of us next to our car. Very special guy.

Thanks, you two.

Was a bear to finalize that piece (almost as consuming as the 959 Sport piece), but Leffingwell knocked it out of the park. Getting to know Sheila (aka XQOP, and I trust you can figure it out...) was the icing on the cake. She said Peter got a big smile when she read the piece to him, and with this news that makes all the hours more than worth it. I'm glad it arrived in time…
