My cars: |
1957 T1 A Super Coupe/1960 T5 Normal Coupe. |
Tip-off that a 356 was the car for
me: |
I have admired these cars since I was in high
school in the 60's. |
My age when I acquired my first
356: |
57. |
Engine type: |
1957-Super Vic Skirmants-built engine with a
big bore kit. 1960-Normal numbers-matching engine. |
Miles driven per year: |
Between the two cars, 3,000 miles, but I am
trying to improve on that number. |
Favorite destination: |
Any curvy, twisty, hilly country road. |
Fantasy road trip: |
I would like to drive the length of California
Highway 1 in a 356. |
Most inconvenient mechanical
failure: |
Discovered a gas leak at the Geneva Concours
and had a scary ride home. |
Car I'd have if I couldn't have a
356: |
Topping the list would be a Porsche Cayman. |
What I like most about my car: |
I like the speed of the Super Coupe and I like
the smoothness of the Normal Coupe. |
Most unique feature: |
H4 headlights and the headlight switch relay
kit. |
Most recent repair: |
Tom Funk and I recreated the openings and
installed the overrider bumper bars on the A Coupe. |
Longest drive so far: |
2007 East Coast Holiday to Boyne Highlands,
Michigan. |
Next project with this car: |
Fix some sheet metal on the underside of the A
Coupe. |
