Well, the circle is closed.
The Kiln red/olive green Turbo has left yesterday with its new owner.
After 16 years, 5 cars ('83 944, '76 C3, '83 930, '73 RS, '87 944 Turbo Cup race car), I am out for good.
I have driven at insane speeds on track, taken them apart to the last bolt, gone to work with dirt under the fingernails (as a doc...), opened my knuckles more times than reasonable.
I have made lifelong friends, I have met unsufferable fools.
I have spent fortunes, made some good money with sales.
I have laughed to tears, cried in despair.
In 16 years, the scene has gone from weird enthusiasts to well heeled people in search of the next
penis enhancer , ahem, social status. From knowledgeable friends to pompous
pr*cks that wistake posession with knowledge, from low-key gathering to multi-million fiestas.
It is high time that I left, before my ideas become too much of a clash, a nuisance to others.
I will be back in Porsches some day, but with a less precious vehicle that will be used not cleaned, made more efficient, not pretty, and mostly, in my own garage, with no fanfare.
I will miss most of you.
