He wanted Rob to build garage dioramas with models of his cars. Here's one that he did of his Speedster delivered to Jerry's studio.
Very cool Joanne! I'll scan article, once I get back to that house. Do they still keep in touch?

Too funny! But not as funny as the time Wayne and Rob met!

We were in Monterey for the Historics and just walking across the parking lot to our hotel, here comes Wayne. They just look at each other with kind of a spooky stare and start cracking up. They really do look alike even more in person......Only thing slightly different is Rob is 6' 4" and Wayne might be 5' 1".....might be!

Haha it's like the movie Twins w/ Arnold and DeVito! He is a little guy for sure, but a giant in the biz! He's spotted in Greenwich Ct. all the time.

"Porsche, Origin of the Species" - My son got it for me for Fathers Day, very interesting book, mostly deals with the beginnings of Porsche up to the development of the 356. Very little on the 911 if that is what you are looking for. About $80 on Amazon.
