...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.

Your honor, the star witness & fellow RLer gives the following testimony on zacharyMayne.squarespace.com.

Apparently, the fomal court record shall be later published in the below-named judicial journal

'Course, it's easy to know more than JPP, who can't remember his drive to the shoot. "SLO" is kinda appropriate, huh? (San Luis Obispo)

Just joshin' -- I know ZMayne & his camera move way too fast for a forgettable photo session.

Congrats again, JPP!!!

I call it "Selective Senility" It's a great tool for the 50+ crowd (especially effective for managing long-term relationships ...)

.. and thank you, but I think all this might be a bit pre-mature. I understand the story and pictures are "in Production" and "submitted for Artwork" .. Phrases that I'm sure even Allen Greenspan would be proud to claim .. (just kidding, you know me, I'm a kidder ..). At any rate, this story is a collaboration with a friend of the editor who actually saw all 5 cars at Beverly Hills Porsche before they were delivered and, hopefully, will be contributing his memories and first hand knowledge to shed some more light on the car's production and existence. I say hopefully because I really don't know any more than that, although I've tried to uncover more information through the BHP dealership with very little result, but it sounds like this gentleman may know quite a bit about the 5 cars so I remain 'hopeful'. ... and Zach took some great shots which will also be fun to see in print. Hilde is my favorite thing these days. She is my seductress and I am her willing slave ....

Fingers crossed, hoping to finally see the story documented in print (with amazing visual aids)

Knowatchamean: been down that road with the same result during the two times I tried to buy her. Got in touch with Clubrcr (Jim) when he had his white BH WB cab, & sent a PM when your seller, RLer 'motoring,' briefly posted it here ... but we all know the end of that happy story. Again: well done!




^^ May 2008 shots I saved when she was advertised on eBay, CL, & sierraClassics.com.
