RLer mcipsEric: Concours winner, cover model, track star!
...& proud 'parent' of a stunning Speed Yellow 993.
Met Eric & his wife yesterday. Big day: they won best in class & Peoples' Favorite awards in the Concours d'Elegance -- their first ever attempt! Capping off a perfect win in picture-perfect Dana Point, CA, they're celebrating in the best Porsche tradition today: burning rubber on the track. Eric's a super-star: he, his wife, & their SY beauty are June's cover feature for "Pandemonium" magazine of PCA's Orange Coast Region. One quick read reinforced what I'd already learned: great folks, track stars, killer 993. I'm catching a plane now, but here's quick shot of the man & his immaculate machine ... :thumbsup: http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/3305/imag0478eric.jpg |
ONE picture? Tease!:to_order:

Tim-- I'm impressed that I'm posting from my phone, on a plane!
Maybe others who know Eric or were at the Concours can help satiate? BTW, standby for a PM re: a Moffat visit... |
Thanks for the kind words. We sure had a lot of fun. The weather was perfect as the pictures will show. Can't say for sure if we will ever show for judging again, that was a lot of work!!
Here are some pictures that we have. There is a judge in there.... http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5109/...2b7f8075_b.jpg Getting the "People's Choice" Award from Porsche Motor Sports Pike's Peak Champion, Jeff Zwart! :bowdown: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3226/...cc76e198_b.jpg My Favorite!

The Speed Yellow hard back seats will sit in storage and a passenger Sparco seat will be added until I find and settle on a dedicated track car :thumbsup:

Eric-- Had dinner last night in DC with a RLer who's good at finding exotic OEM 993 parts. Asked him to keep an eye out for you, re: the seats you mentioned to me.

I do like the Speedster seats, but like you said the leather is a little more worn than I would want... I would want to get them recovered before I even install them, and that just adds to the price...
You're the one that got me hooked on auto-crossing!! It's so much fun, can't wait for more upgrades... :cheers: |
