JP, I'm so happy that your dream car fell together for you like this. Pretty amazing.

You've always been one of the first on here to reach out and help someone else with their isuue, so it only stands to reason that this good fortune would come your way.

Congratulations! Gorgeous car.

JP-- I'm flattered by your above promise. I've printed your post, & put it under my pillow See you in 25 years, if not many fun times in the interim.

You strike me as the type of meticulous enthusiast who makes his Porsches get better with age Enjoy, with the best of health!

Judge Kika,

If it pleases the court, I recommend that the 'defendant' be let off scot free, in view of new photographic evidence submitted by a fellow RLer below.

However, I suspect there's a story, & I'd like to hear it!
...but the defendant, being from California -- home to Hollywood -- probably has a press agent recommending he not talk 'til after a movie or magazine exposé.

Well, I'd love to take that deal, but for some reason, I can't see the image(s) so I'll plead the 5th ...
