Ah, ok. that's awesome as well.

I think right now, my absolute dream car would be a 930 911 Turbo. So hot.

I'm with you Taylor. I'm in love with the 930 911.

Here are a few from my big selection as well.

Several long time members know that I vintage race a '59 356 Convertible D with my Dad. He built the car up before I was born and racing it with him is an absolute blast. We race with Ecurie Engineering - they specify in all things Vintage Porsche. Here are some pics - all taken by me.

First off, a few of the 356:












Several other pictures from various racing weekends at Road America and Sebring:

















I have A LOT more.... just wanted to show a few quick ones that I found.

The white one is for sale .... probably the fastest 911 they have built... true 'blank check' engine.... its a steal at $70k!

Here's a cool teaser vid of last years elkhart lake vintage festival.
