I remember when a friend of mine whom I'd known when I was at TRWonderful took me out to the highbay at Hughes and introduced me to Wayne. Friend told me he knew a guy that was into Porsche's and was running a parts business out of his garage.
Little did I know...
My own Porsche trek started with an Alfa. This is a picture of my second Alfa.

Which I traded to my brother for my first Porsche. No pics of it readily at hand.
That eventually led to my second Porsche, one not needing a lot of body/paint work.

And that one finally led to the third and last Porsche I've owned. A unique car with a Sportomatic trans which saved my knee for another day.

Today I'm happy tooling around in a factory hot rod Honda.

I still get to live the Porsche life vicariously through my brother who has had Porsches for a long, long time.
