Cool

Beyond my obvious hard-core, long-term, deep-seated, irrational exuberance for all things Porsche, there are the Donzi's... and the toy trains... and books...
I have a lot of watches, but I would not considermyself a collector or hobbyist in that area, just a fascination.
My car hobby is far more reaching than my current 996. There have been 16 Porsches before this one. Also a dozen VW's and 40 other cars. There is also a room with no room that houses my diecast collection from one wall to the other, and bookshelves loaded with mostly Porsche books. But there are many other makes there as well.
The current of 6 Donzi's awaits my call in the driveway.

When the heck did they start doing that - I wish someone would have told me!


Redridge - agreed. Sometimes you just need to step into an A-star.

Well north of Whistler on a heli trip:

I travel a lot for work, and have some great pix - too bad I do not know how to upload them

I really like to party! I also have some watches and collect art. I like guitars too.

Um... I take it that you're a GS/Downhiller, which is great. I just can't drop that many vert so fast.

Personally I'm looking for the bumps all the way down, if I can. Hence the plate!

John, that shows real maturity to be able to post a pic like that on here and not feel as though your masculinity is threatened in any way

really

(OK I laughed too)

I grew up in France so skiing and cycling are part of growing up... Now in Dallas, I continue to road biking and mountain biking when the weather allows it. Well spring is coming so the biking season will re-start again, that's great. Oh and my wife and I love to travel too...
