i didn’t realize it was a link you dork. It is not the traditional link it was a name. Now that i go back i can see that when you click the name it is a link.

Ouch.

I find that a good microfiber cloth and some rubbing alcohol will take care of marks like that. That or a good buff with some AOI product and a light cutting pad on a DA polisher should clean that right off.

I'm not trying to prolong the beatings but it would be nice to know the story about how the autographs ended up on that car.

Brumos most likely facilitated it. They would hold special events where long time customers could meet up with Porsche nobility and have their cars signed. Back in the day supposedly Hurley used to test drive and sign off on every 911 before Brumos delivered it to a customer.

Thanks for the explanation. It sounded like it must have been a good time.

Interesting, as this is the first Porsche that I have seen with multiple signatures.

Writing on the hood must have been awkward.

One of the few Rolex watches that I would want. Very nice

Still wanting to know more about how and when those signatures were written on the car. Definitely makes for a great story.

Yea i wish i could speak to the original owner and see the history. Maybe because my car is a pts Mexico blue car it was very limited.

You have to take the pic in front of the car in front of the house. It's just how it works around here.
