    röhrls new toy

    i met victor once at a swap met and we had a several hour conversation about our hobby. we where kind of surfing the same wave so he invited me to his place. he did not give me a phone number just his address..."i`m always home" he said ..took a while to find time to followed his invitation...actually a couple of years went by..one super hot summer day i took the trip to the east end of my country. when i arrived in his village there was ,due to the enormous heat we experienced this summer, literally no one on the street...i had his address but i could not locate his house so i looked for someone to ask for directions but no one was there to ask and no one opened the door when i rang..the hole sceenery was pretty spooky like in a B horror movie just before the zombies attac.
    i walked by a house with no number on it..that must be it i thought ... it instantly reminded me in bates hotel. i sneaked around it and suddenly someone was shouting at me. "what are you doing there!!!" i´m looking for victor grahser,do you know where i can find him? i replied... What you want from him? he asked.
    so i told him the story how we meet.

    it turned out that i was right with my assumption that it was his house but unfortunatly victor passed away just a few days earlier.
    his neighbor showed me around . i saw the car in it´s unfinished state.

    several years later i was invited by rafael diez to have a look at a `64 restoration he executed.when he showed me his shop i saw a 356 with a 3.o 930 engine on a car lift ...i always wondered what happened to victors car

    when victor retired from his job as aircraft mechanic for quantas he moved back to austria and also took his 356/930 project to his new home...since the house did not have a garage nor a room with a big enough door to fit the cars in he simply removed a wall placed the cars inside and rebuilt the wall.
