(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) This has got nothing to do with Porsche 914's but I'm still stunned....
I've been resurrecting/rebuilding a wooden sailboat built back in 1958, and out of the blue tonight, I got a phone call from a West Coast Legend... Mystic Seaport Archives My boat's designer (she was a 1-off), Mr. Bill Garden just called me. Most if not all of you are like "so what, who the hell is that...".. (IMG:http://www.mysticseaport.org/library/images/Garden1.jpg) He's in his 80's but still sharp as a tack...he has designed hundreds of yachts.. yet he remembers this boat in absolute detail... It would be simiilar to being called by Dr. Porsche, or Carroll Shelby, to check in on one of their race cars. or prototypes............ (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) My heart is still racing... Coolest thing is.. he wants photos (he doesn't use the internet), which I'll send. In trade, he's gonna send me a new jib (that's $500 worth of sail these days) Anyhow, I was/am really excited.... sorry for the non-Porsche subject matter.... |
