Very cool, hope he makes it to 100!!!

I need to share this article with my wife and tell her I have a little catching up to do

[1979-930]

I like the engine/wine rack table.

So cool.

It reminds me of a guy I bumped into in Newport Beach CA driving a 1964 356 at a gas station next door to the Porsche Dealership there.

750k plus miles on his 356 he bought new the day after graduation from law school. He said PANO would likely do an article on his ride when he hits a million miles on her.

I wish I'd grabbed a photo.

Love these stories! Wife’s father has been dailying his 356 back in Australia for decades. I always buy him nice Christmas presents

The guy has quite the collection! I wouldn't mind having a 904, 910, 917, and an R....or any of them actually!

I hope they don't wait that long, it sounds like it would take him another 20 years to get 1m.

Funny, I thought the same thing. Its his daily driver but he works and lives in Newport Beach so a short commute

Praying for a long life and a few long road trips in his future

Very cool, I wonder if he'd adopt a 58 year old?

[kitesurfer2]

[ASD]

sad ....Im only on #4 at 72.But they are still fun!!

[Sunroof]

1973.5T 911 (current)
1974 911 (sold to one of Jerry Seinfelds stage crew)
1979SC 911 (sold)
1985.5 944 (sold)

[ASD]

Remember t he shop teacher with a million plus mile Volvo P1800?
I think Irv Gordon...?

[2.7RS]

And you thought Magnus Walker was cool

[ASD]

never too old for a Porsche!Its the fountain of youth in a car.

[matt930s]

This is cool because I think age is a number; some people throw in the towel in their 50's and 60's and become "old guys". I know guys that got rid of all of their toys, stop driving sports cars and riding bikes etc...

Good news for this Gen-Xer....

[ASD]

never give up never give in, work at staying young and vital!

[Macroni]

It certainly shows what happens when passion meets a very, very, very Fat wallet.....

[ASD]

Luckily not so fat, thats another desirable feature
