So I'm just working away this morning....
This guy walks in off the street asking to see the owner of the Green Porsche.
That be me I say.
"I've seen this car parked out front but not lately " he says.
He proceeds to hand me this:

" I collect car models" he says, " I've been driving around with this in my car for about six months hoping to give it to you."
I'm stunned!!!
I immediately get goose bumps.
Just one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me.
I thank him , tell him how much it means to me because of the work I did on the restoration, and off he goes.
I think I'm going to put my steel wheels back on!

that is too cool....very nice car you have there (both the real deal and the model
)
last summer I was checking out garage sales in my area while driving my 911, I stop at one house that had a nice old radial arm saw for sale, as soon as I walk up the driveway the home owner picked up an unbuilt plastic model 911 kit and handed it to me...no charge, just said he thought I should have....bought the saw and got a great deal on it !!!!

I think that means you and him are going steady!
Actually that is pretty cool unless he rubbed his nose after you accepted it
