The author of How to restore and modify your Porsche 914 and 914-6 Patrick C. Paternie died Saturday at Willow Springs Raceway, just moments after finishing a race in his 1968 Porsche 911. He was 65.

While sad to hear, it sounds like he went out doing what he loved.....or at least just before. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I agree. Much better than being in a rest home watching Wheel of Fortune with a bed pan under his but. Sorry to hear of his passing. He contributed a lot.

Agreed about it being a better place to go...

One of the first books I bought after buying my 914 10 years ago. Too bad.

RIP, a little more detail, he passed just after completing a race session, pulled into the pits, never got out of the car. We lost a great contributor to the vintage Porsche community. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

65 is too damm young, but you're right, he went out doing what he loved.

Ironic. A few months ago, I boxed up a bunch of old books and my wife took them to Half Price Books. A couple of weeks ago, I realized that I could not find Patrick's book as well as the one by Brett Johnson. I must have put them in the wrong box by mistake.

For some reason, it popped into my head today to call HPB to see if they might have taken them in, as I would like to get them back.

Guess I will buy a new one and send some more royalties to his family.

Almost poetic that he passed just after doing what he surely loved most. RIP

Wow, big loss to the Porsche community. There was lots of good info in his books. At 63 it is a wake up call for me.

Don't know if you all knew this, but Patrick did freelance work for Autoweek and other auto rags. I had the opportunity to drink a few beers with him over the past few years at some events and he was a good dude.
