The other day I head down to the bookstore with my son to get some more curious george books and I swing into the magazine racks with him. I spot the latest 911 and Porsche World on the rack and pick it up. There is an article in there about the East African Safari Rally which interests me. When I was 7 and 8 my family lived in Kenya and my dad helped in the Safari Porsche garage and his best buddy drove one of the Porsche team support vehicles for the events.
So, I am thumbing through the mag and see this picture in it........
Then my son (5.5 years old) says "hey daddy, we have that same picture at home, except you are in it!!". So off home we go to dig through the pics we got from my parents a couple of years ago, and sure enough, this is what we find!
There are some differences in the level of completion of thecar prep (numbers etc) but the cars were not in the garage for long, so these two pics were taken pretty close together in 1978 in Nairobi Kenya.
Anyways, thought someone might get a kick out of it besides me!
Cheers
