Oh boy, more yammering by Sandy.

As soon as he pulled out the tape measure for the exhaust tips and started bending down, I would've just gently pushed him onto the ground and pointed to the door.

Btw, I'm guessing he's a nice enough guy, but good grief he won't shut up.

But otherwise, the car and the video are really great.

I remember when Wayne bought that car a the GAF. I also think I remember what he paid. Someone is kicking themself and it isn't Wayne.

Not necessarily, Milt. I know I gave Evren a very much "friends" price on my old 911S. No regrets...it was time for me to move on. It's not always about money to me..

Well, you are you, Paul. I wouldn't call your deal with a 911S a normal situation. Your feelings about the destiny of a car are somewhat unique. Not one-of-a-kind unique, but unique nevertheless.

Already saw it.


Spoiler Alert




Different black beauty, not the Jackmobile. Nonetheless, sweet

Really nice ride. Orange wheels not my cup of tea.

I think that's their 'Schtick' for the videos...What fun would it be if Sandy just followed Wayne around and agreed with everything he said?

I also think they are very close friends.

I enjoyed the video.

The car looks great and sounds incredible.

I did not find Sandy as overbearing as some reported. He can get fixated on silly things but that wasn’t too bad. He did make good points about wheel size and ample door entry and exit.

What’s with that dufus Sandy? I like Wayne’s videos but don’t get Sandy at all. Can’t even pronounce Porscha correctly. Called a 356 a VW. Jesus Wayne, you can do better…

"Schtick"? puhlease...

There's no question Wayne is a "next level" car guy. He probably knows and hangs out with many other "next level" car guys.

Sandy knows how to pronounce Porsche. There's also no question he knows the importance and history of the 356 and the 911. To say and do the things he does on a video he knows that's viewed by a gazillion car people around the world equals one thing...he's being an intentional dick. And he gets off on it. That's not "schtick".

And I said it on the 356 thread, Wayne doesn't need a fanboy, but someone with an ounce of a clue.

Jeebus Sandy, at least pretend you've been there before.

To be more clear, it's a big distraction from the topic of the video.


now, where'd this soap box come from?

Wayne, this is what you need to replace the Speedster.
https://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/798976-my-next-project.html

I think Sandy is funny, bagging on Wayne's cars, calling the 356 and 914 VWs

I like the dog too.
