2) The oldest guy ever to drive in the Le Mans 24hr was 5 years older than me..

Age is only a number . Today riding a bike , tomorrow surf and drive my T when I can . 67 years old

Surfing at 65 year of age

Big thanks to @ECNJ for starting the "post pics of your 992 on the 992nd page" and to @arrivederci for keeping it going with pics of 993s on the 993rd. A flood of memories through the day yesterday culminated in remembering last night that years ago I had stored some of my car pics in a photobucket.com account which I had completely forgotten about. I went back to check and see if my account still existed and sure enough, I found a nice trove of car pictures including the only picture I ever took of my very first Porsche, a 1978 Targa SC in Pacific Blue with Linen interior that I bought when I was 28. Thank you both! What a great trip down memory lane.

Same problem here in my country with the mandatory front plate.
But this was a very elegant solution, I think!

A while ago I asked about what car to pick up as a daily and was considering a Type R. Instead, I went full opposite from my T and got a Prius in “carmine red.” Cheers to my polar opposite pair!!

I am already thinking of switching to Roman numbers:
1954 = MCMLIV
1967 = MCMLXVII

Millennials will not know what hit them

I was looking through old car photos in preparation for posting my 996 since we are just about at that page and realized I missed my chance to post my 987 Cayman S. So here it is!
