They are both keepers, the wife, and the car. Happy B day. Nice fleet also, glad to see that you have at least one car in there that won't leak water

What a coincidence - at the last secret Pelican meeting item 1 on the agenda was "Is Rob a bastard?" I think we all know answer to that question.

Very nice. Congratulations. We need to have a Pelican track day just driving your cars.

That yellow one is out of place. You need to sell me that one and buy a blue one.

WOW! Thank you everyone......you guys are great.

I am one very lucky guy. I've known her for 34 years and married for 25. She amazes me every day with her enthusiasm for life, Porsches and me!

She is a recent winner over breast cancer and we both look at things a little different now.

She told me last weekend that we need a smaller house and a much bigger garage! How many of you have ever heard that from your significant other?

I can't really go into details, but she bought me a relatively inexpensive Valentines Day gift 13 years ago and recently sold it for way more than what this car cost!

Cheers everyone
