VINYL, LEICAS, AND THE EARLY 911
Coming soon…
I’ve been a record collector since I bought my first LP in 1964. Still have it. Leica film cameras and lenses followed in 1979. An early Porsche 911 was something I’ve wanted since I was 16. Had to wait until 1996 for that one. Now I have multiples of everything… Continue reading “”

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

THE KINKS ARE THE VILLAGE GREEN
The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society is one of my favorite albums. 50 years ago it failed to chart upon its release. Imagine it competing against the likes of The White Album. Now considered a classic for its depiction of English country life. Continue reading “”
EMORY MOTORSPORTS
Rod and Gary Emory represent one of the best of modern day Porsche fabricators. Their 356 outlaws are legendary – with Gary’s original vision and Rod’s hands on artistry. I’ve known both of them for over 20 years and they are the real deal. They continue to contribute to the Porsche 356 hot rod community every day as they have for decades. Continue reading “”
