Brock Yates sent one of the guys a really neat framed poster that was a picture of the USA with their route mapped out and the cover of that magazine inset. It hung behind his desk in the show room.
Pwd72s: which “Porsche guy” were you referring to in the video as Dan Rowzie? I missed that. Dan was a local guy and a customer of ours…worked on his cars many times. I’m going to have to review the video and look for him.

Way in the back of this cover shot..see the guy in the leather jacket & T shirt? That's Dan. May or may not be Dan in the video...when we get old, we all begin to look alike.
