Eric McKenna "TV Star" drives the 959!
Today was a big day here in Ohio for the local Porsche nuts. The popular TV show "My Classic Car" spent the day filming Mr John Dixons incredible TajMaGaraj. For the driving segment, Mr Dixon asked future son-in-law our own Eric McKenna to take Dennis Gage out for a blast in the 959. Weather was crappy, but the car still looked great!
Here is a pic of the Taj after we got it all shined up last nite. Keep in mnd that this is only half.....

As you can see, the weather was pretty nasty! Mr Gage is a British car nut, but I think that he appreciates German design much moree after today
He was actually a very pleasant guy to work with, very accomodating for the "photo nerd" (me) and just a down to earth guy. I think Eric is going to grow his mustache out now!

Eric!! Awesome, man. You're a very lucky guy, in so many ways.
Tell us about the 959... was it all you'd expected it to be?
