There should be a thread of stories.
We used to have many entertaining stories from Porsche PhD and Over 200MPH, (Imagine Auto's Steve Kaspar and Micheal Benet). The one where Steve gives a kid a wheelchair in his turbo is a classic. True Porsche Ambassadors. I recall they used to hand Porsche pins out to admiring kids too.

Michael's a great guy and a very quick driver as well. Co-drove with me at Road America one year. He put the car at the top of the class grid. My so-called friends turned to me and said "Well we know it isn't the car..."

That's alright. I beat Michael's time last Labor Day weekend, and with an engine with a couple of bent exhaust valves.
He who laughs last... But it took me a few years to get the last laugh.

A small world! I'm sure EJ will be happy to know it's in good hands.

I think EJ actually also raced a school bus back when he was working at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Well if anything NEEDS to be said. This site should be banned. It's worse than any drug, alcohol or gambling addiction. And you lot should be ashamed of yourselves for contributing to my addiction.

Now that I've got that off my chest. Anyone want to buy a nice C2? I already found another C2S that needs to be driven across the country...just have another silver C2S otherwise I'd have no place to put that silver Rennlist Sticker that Joe sent

Car as of today. I'm doing my best to confuse it on its purpose in life. (I resisted putting the golf clubs in it for the trip up to the track. The truck had enough room for those.)
