Alf-- That's one of the best photos ever: perfect way to remember another perfect RL day!!!
Funny how I have the exact same look of amazement & awe frozen on my face, from being around your & Alvin's rides
Big Bird deservedly gets the RL respect, but one thing few here have experienced is your custom exhaust
Seriously, one of the most fearsome sounds to behold.Look forward to hearing it again, next month in Monterey!

Glenn-- From eShaun's "993 Speedster + Friends...Big Bird, alpinadvl" thread:
I didn't think that Porsche manufactured any 993 Speedsters.
Glenn-- The factory presented one to F.A. "Butzi" Porsche.
As told to me by Seinfeld's experts when I talked Speedsters with Jerry last year at Laguna Seca: he shipped his 993 back to Porsche at ~1,000 miles to be converted to a Speedster. (I ran into his broker this year, too, & was flattered to get several calls & texts afterward. <---- Yeh, I'm guilty of name-dropping; please forgive this vice, as they're the only celebrities in my Speedster-obsessed world
)
I've flown overseas to inspect other impressive 993s, but have never confirmed more than one still exists that was originally delivered from Porsche as a Speedster, despite rumors by respected Porsche enthusiasts / experts. I hope I'm wrong, & am soon invited to see others in person.
Thanks for your question; hope I helped. Many more details on the following threads:
- "Speedster type 993 photo thread" (includes links to builds by RLer GrahamPeterM's & more). Plz consider posting any follow-up ?s there.
- "Rennlist/ PCA member's 993 SPEEDSTER"
- "993 Speedster at Porsche Museum (Restoration Workshop)"

That's pretty cool. Thanks for the info. I can certainly understand that if one did exist that Jerry would have had it at one point. - Thanks again and happy motoring.
