Sad news but getting to 90 is a good ride... Can you imagine how different Porsche would be if he had taken another job in 1956??? Niki would probably not have another WC in 1984... Indeed. And an indication of just how good below... I hope Pete does a long story in an upcoming issue of 000... Last week, Hans told on of 000's contributors "Yes, let's do it." This in regards to a critical story, with unpublished documents from Mezger's personal records. The two are friends around more than Porsche, with their usual conversations beginning at midnight and going into the wee hours. Both music people. And Porsche people. If it can still be done, and I think it can, you can be sure we'll put a lot of love into it. I was fortunate to work with both on a few things for 000 over the last year or so, and Hans was simply fabulous to work with via email. Because of who he was, and because who he was. It was obvious that he cared about really, really getting it right. And so many of us on this board benefit from that with every mile… |
