Since I was a baby, we had to drive by Hanson VW/Porsche/Audi In Olympia, WA to get where we were going. A car guy seemingly at birth, I always loved looking at the VWs and Porsches as we drove by (as well as anything else with wheels and a motor). Seeing that brand new 914 on the pedestal ramp did it for me. I was hooked since I can remember probably around 1970-71 when I was 4 or 5 y/o. Took me a long time to finally get one, but it was well worth the wait!!
I didn't always have good taste though. In 1973 also fell in love with the VW Things. . . It wasn't until 30 years later that I had the chance to drive couple of Things. . . What loud tinny POSs they are. . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) |
