LOOKING BACK
One day, my friend called to ask if I could weld a few cracks in the 904 exhaust. We traded cars for a day so I could put his 904 in the shop.
At that time I did not know how much of a privilege and rare opportunity is was to drive this GTS. In those days it was just an old race car. In 2019 the 904 has become worth millions.
My wife and I were driving south on a main road. About 4 blocks ahead we saw a hitch-hiker with his thumb out. As the 904 got clos, the hiker dropped to his knees. The 904 was almost low enough to drive under a dinner table.
I have pictures. I hope these pictures are the correct ones.
Getting old is not great. I am old enough to have been around when these cars were common. For this, I am thankful.
I often think of my friend and occasionally call him to remind him that he is responsible my driving Porsche for nearly 3 decades. I can say with confidence, PORSCHE, there is no substitute.
Artificial intelligence is no match for real stupidity....
