Default Wear your Porsche cap!

While I was having lunch in Cody, Wyoming, yesterday, wearing my Porsche cap, a gentleman approached and asked if I owned a Porsche. I replied yes, he asked year and model, and this evolved into a pleasant conversation about our mutual favorite topic. He currently owns a 1955 Speedster, and has owned other significant Porsches, including a 550 Spyder. His name is Pat Fletcher. Does anyone on here perhaps know him?

Most likely a relative of one of the Fletcher Aviation founders.

^^^Now that's funny, oil debates are now taking to the streets in headwear format.

I've never thought to wear a Pcar hat. Have a BMW one that is in the rotation, but not a pcar.

I guess hats with oil company brands should be SNELL rated as butting heads may ensue.

I am not as good as mooty though. He has made a science out of it.

Now back to my portable hat.

I didn't think it was a spelling issue but more of a typo oversight.
