Default Burried 911 in Buffalo

A burried 560hp 911 turbo in Buffalo. Article mentions his shop is in Toronto. Is it someone from here? http://blog.caranddriver.com/buffalo...-until-it-did/

This is a well known car in PCA UCR circles. Saw it at the open house and concours events. I can't imagine driving it in the snow on Toyo R888's!

I don't think I have ever seen Jay post on this board. His old shop was located near Bloor and Islington, then he headed up the Porsche Oakville Service Centre IIRC and now he runs his own shop once again on Meyerside in Miss.

I missed a similar fate (RWD Chrysler 300) driving back from Florida in Nov 2007 by one day.

Jay joined us for a very boisterous dinner a few months ago. He is a riot, and his work is really superb.

Had the opportunity to meet Jay at the Yorkville Exoctic Car Show. Not only his knowledge in Porsche is vast, he is also fluent in Chinese. Great guy.

Great. Another cool story for Jay to tell! lol
Glad he lifted the wipers up. That could make or break the situation.
