So my 1st car was a 1960 model based on a Porsche 60.

Cool list for trivia geeks.

Obin. Did this come from vwvortex?

There is at least one list similar to this floating around on this board already. I think it's even longer and includes more entries. I want to say that it was a Bill that was keeping track of it or posted it, but it's been a long time since I looked at it.

Obin Robinson used to post frequently on the 944 board.
