We brought our ’47 Mercury Woodie over to Calvary church in Westlake. It was on display to promote their first car show which took place on June 17th. It was a long process to get the car into position inside their building. Check out the video!

Mike Meets Dr Porsche!

Pretty exciting day! Mike was invited to a private lunch at Bruce Meyers’ garage and was told that Dr. Wolfgang Porsche would be there.
Well, the rusted wheels in Mike’s brain started moving, albeit very slowly. Would this be a once in a lifetime opportunity to have the Dr. sign the dash of his 918 Porsche??? Absolutely!!! Mike emailed Bruce with his brilliant idea. He mentioned “Only with his permission” would he bring it. He said “Bring it.”
We were upstairs when Bruce approached the Dr. with the request. Dr. Porsche pulled Mike aside and said “Are you sure you want me to sign your dash?” Mike said it would be an honor.
The 918 is Mike’s favorite newish car. After lunch and having the Porsche family DNA permanently on the 918, he was on cloud 9. Guess he will never sell it.

Ramshorn Rally 2021

This past week we took part in the Ramshorn Rally. It’s an annual favorite. This marque Porsche event is open to 1989 and older cars. Outlaws are welcome. Entries are limited thirty cars. The event started in Gateway, Colorado (50 miles southwest of Grand Junction) and ended in Grand Junction, CO.
The route started by driving the 30-mile stretch of red rock cliffs along the Dolores River. Over the next five days we ventured into Southwest Colorado up the box canyon into Telluride, then back toward the Four Corners region and through the vast sandstone buttes of Monument Valley.
We continued down into south central Utah through the white domes and cliffs of Navajo Sandstone in Capitol Reef National Park, the spectacular cliffs and terraces of the Grand Staircase-Escalante area, passing by the crimson-colored hoodoos of Bryce Canyon, and the steep red cliffs of Zion National Park. From there we traveled south through the great expanse of escarpments which make up the plateau of Vermillion Cliffs National Monument. Finally, we made our way back north past Lake Powell and the Glen Canyon Dam before reaching the end of our route in Grand Junction. It’s great to be taking part in events again!

Porsche 904 heads out to the Thermal Club

We recently took the Porsche 904 out to the Thermal Club in the Coachella Valley for some track time. The car is fantastic on the track. We diced it up with a Porsche 906 for several laps.

If you happen to see Ford vs. Ferrari, look for our 904 in the film. 3 other museum cars are also seen in the film.

Thanks to Pete Rinaldi for the photos.
