After watching a friend leave behind a field of corvettes racing in the rain driving a nearly bone stock 911, I knew some day I would have a Porsche. In the late seventies I purchased a beautiful maroon 1969 911E. It took me a couple of years to learn how to drive it properly. It wasn't the fastest Porsche around, but several years I managed to win my class in solo II. I put over 130,000 miles on that car before I sold it. After it was gone I didn't really care what I drove. It was like for me, there are Porsches and, well, everthing else are just cars.
Last year after my wife bemoaned the fact that she had never owned a sports car, we found her a nice looking, but unrestored 75' silver 914. Even though it was "her" car, I found myself offering to run errands all the time saying "hey I'll just take the 914". One Sunday I took her to an autocross, you know, just to "watch". Well, that was it. The disease was back and I was the patient. I began the hunt. A few months later I ran across ol yeller, a 1975 2.0L that was a two owner car that had been restored and modified by the last owner who's dad owned a Porsche shop. It is a truly great Porsche. I feel very lucky to have found it. With the help of this discussion board, and others like it, I'm in the process of learning all I can about these great cars and am looking forward once again to autocrossing. I think I'm hooked. Okay, I know I'm hooked. |
