Vasco Ricardo, rgruppe member from Portugal, and one of the knights of the"longhood" table that traversed this great country, sent us some examples of his fine photography. My car is the one in the reflection below
Dave Conklin, wunder-mechanic/photojournalist/wit/sarcasm dripper, in this wonderful shot where he is repairing Randy Stenson's fuel line, somewhere in Oklahoma or Texas. Randy smelled fuel and pulled over, and he was right ... leaky fuel line. So Dave happened to have fuel hose with him. Another practical tip for those of you jokesters out there thinking of emulating this bunch ;-)
Last laugh on me of course. Here is Dave pictured facing camera, with Ed May knelling to the right. Ed is owner mechanic of famous Mayo Performance in Texas, and the man i owe a debt of gratitude for swapping my fuel pump on the road, and getting me road worthy. Ed, you are the greatest.
Aaron winans, co-owner of Zuffenhaus (big time Porsche shop in Charlotte), who helped Ed get my car on the road. Aaron, you are also da man, with Ed. Thank you. Picture with him in glassed is Marco Gerace. Marco is a great guy, top Porsche mechanic at the place his dad and he own/run called TLG autos in LA. Sponsored our track lunch they did. Boy can those guys drive!
Curt Egerer, chaptermeister of Mid West Rgruppe chapter, point man, radar rabbit, soul of the reckless posse .... Curt once sawed his ipod in half just to see what it was made of inside (not-so-crazy mo-fo did this once he had procured a newer replacement of course).
With gravelly mid west accent, you take away the sports purpose porsche 911 2.5 litre targa, and the snazzy sunglasses, and he is a throwback sort of Wyatt Earp character !!
El Tovar Lodge porch on South Rim of Grand Canyon, after a long day in the saddle, and it's time to have a beer with your friends ... from left
Jared (center) explaining to Brian (on left) the mysteries of the universe, and how to light a fire by rubbing two sticks together, if your porsche cigarette lighter fails to work.
Bill, wearing his George Kennedy Cool Hand Luke mirror shades, breaking the sad news to me that Spurs lost again. At least they did not lose to Arsenal.
If Sigmund Freud, ever developed a mid-life crisis, bought a porsche and drove it across america wearing aviator shades and pink t-shirts, he might look like this :-) But what would he make of the yellow french lenses ???
