[pwd72s]

Darned good video. The loss of Porsche's "soul" begins to be explained at around 16 minutes. My own story? Bought a '72 911S in '74...loved it, had a gas in the clubs scene of the time. True enthusiasts then with very few egomaniacs. The '72 S was my 4th Porsche..before that a '66 912, a '69 912, a '70 911T.

Within a few years of that, found myself married, a child to raise, a biz to run. I hung on to the 911, took care of it, but it really got placed on the back burner due to time restraints.

Fast forward to the 90's...the hard work paid off, daughter educated & on her own, early retirement. So, thought I'd play car again. At first I basked in the attention the car got...yeah, it possibly was the best unrestored '72S on the planet...

As time wore on, realized that Thomas Wolfe was right...you can't go home again. There was a handful of people in the scene that frankly, I didn't like much. One day I got a phone call...it began with: "We've seen your car on the net and have talked to people who have seen it, and we're going to buy it." I hung up.

That's when I knew I was done. Evren was the perfect solution for me. No regrets...but I do miss driving the car.
