Finally, the first real celebrity I've met in person!!!! Can't wait to see the article.

Wow! Beautiful magazine and very nice article.

It's effective too. I saw an ad and placed an order.

JP: Finally got my copy. Wow! It looks so good in print that it is almost as awesome as seeing it in person. Congrats on a great article in the new design Panorama. Super way for the new format to launch. For those who haven't had the opportunity to see JP's Speedster in person, it is truly more beautiful than the pictures. That car is something on another plane of autocrat.

Wow, thanks Sid that's a very nice compliment ... and you'll be happy to know that my garage/shop remodel is now complete so she's got a VERY nice place to sleep now ... actually better than where I SLEEP!

Just got my issue yesterday and first thing was to flip to the article. Can't add much to what's already been said about a very special car, it's fantastic, world-class terrific. Must be fun to see your car in a national magazine. Congrats JP, I remember seeing your car pre-conversion, hope to see the updated version some time. Cheers.

Got mine yesterday. Great that you're memorialized in the revised, large format!

(But I gotta admit to the other high points in the issue with Andial closing, and Jim Edwards' 924. Yes, THAT lowly 924. My ex-business partner in Phoenix went to work for him, tending to his fleet.)

Magdaddy

mine came yesterday, breezed thru it. Very elegant looking mag now, heavy pages as always, great vivid colors.

Anyway, that article on "speedarena"...they kept quoting the owner, seemed a little full of himself.

Congrats JP, very nice story.

JPP

Thanks R! It was a HUGE honor and privilege to be asked .. and yes, I look at the article and still can't believe it. BUT .. coming around the corner of the shop and seeing that Arena Red nose is pretty sweet as well :-)
Hey .. you know, if you hadn't run off to sandyeggo to be a beach bum, you could pop over for a spin ... but NOoooooo, you had to be mr. fancy pantz ...

Yes, I'd agree .. the Andial story was my second read. Very misunderstood institution but I think anybody who reads the article will now understand how sad it is that this unbelievable resource, so accessible and right under our noses for YEARS is now gone.

Yeah .. that guy is a piece of work, eh? What a farging Icehole ....

JPP

^^^ I thought the most eye-opening quote in the Andial piece was when the author mentioned the 962 poster on the wall that said "The Porsche 962: 0 to 50 in 4.6 years," and Dieter looks up and states 'All 50 wins were with our motors' ... what a legacy.

JP, Just got my Panorama yesterday, great article on you and your car. I very much enjoyed your history of the 356 Speedster and how you got to where you are today with the 993 Speedster. Very nice photos as well !

JPP, I mailed you my Pano today with Flat 6 magazine, I was done reading that one too.
