Sorry to hear of this. What parts are on the yellow car? I'll give 'em a good workout in his honor next time I'm up at the track!

Lee was on of a kind. He was a true enthusiast. I think he enjoyed being at the track more than any other place on earth. He will be missed for sure. He was a customer of ours and a good friend of my shops owner. Lee's belief and trust in Ivan to build him a reliable podium GT car helped give life to our company in the late 90's. The result is the black and yellow car pictured in this thread. Lee also had us build the nicest white 993RS conversion I have ever seen. Followed by his yellow GT3 and finally his CaymanS.

He loved Porsche cars. He loved the history and the precision. I think he enjoyed the build out process and the chanllange of doing something differant more than driving the finished product.

He always had a smile on his face. Towards the end, even while speaking of his cancer and the limited time he knew he had, he was making jokes about his condition.

I am glad to have known him.
