How did the 911 Bug get you,your first Porsche?

Obvious early imprinting and discovering VW & Porsche magazine as a teenager...

My Dad traded in his 1964 Slate Gray 356C and bought a brand new 1967 911S in Reading, PA. I was about 5 years old, and can still hear the sound of that 2.0 S motor with Bursch exhaust. I swear you could hear it a mile away. That was it for me, I was a full on addict. I've tried many support groups and professional help, but there is no hope left for me. About 10 or so P cars later, here I am still chasing the dream. My latest creation is a highly modified 1970 911T, coming soon...

i was looking for a track car (hell, my first sports car really) and after looking around at the usual nissan S15's/GTR's, mitusbishi evo's etc i was talked into something basic, RWD, that i could learn 'properly' on.
the old fella's down at the track talked me into a 911 on the basis that if i learn to drive in that, any other car is easy!
a 73 year old 911 owner eventually sent me word that his old 911 would be up for sale, and if i wanted first look..
sweet i thought. he's 73 years old, driven to church on sunday's etc.

nope





bought the car and never looked back. love it!
