Jim,
I about fell over laughing when I saw that notice about BA in your windshield. That is a stunning car....enjoy it.

Oh and the coil story is pretty funny. When Curt got to my house he mentioned that he had a slight miss at certain RPM's so I grabbed the MSD coil out of my drag beetle and tossed it in his trunk. When we pulled into the rest area in St Augustine to take a whiz, my car totally died and refused to re-start. Problem....well after about 20 min of diagnosis we determined that it was the coil.

Lucky break for me eh? Whats the chances of that one? Thanks to Paul, Tom, Hal, John and Curt for hanging out and making sure that we got going again. Nice to have someone watching your back on a road trip with a 34 yo car!

Jim's stunning car can also be seen on the cover of European Car when they did a special tribute to the Early S a few (6 yrs?) ago.

Someone should post a pic (Jim?) of the interior of that car with the sport seats and the unique headrest.....

What else is stashed in your gararge? I'm always looking!

Jim, your car is fantastic. Here's a shot of the interior, if you can see through the reflections. I was really taking it for the cool old school Road America sticker. Any comments from the Super Secret Seat Police?

Racemor,
Thanks for including the picture of the 73. BTW, the 74 next to it belongs to Bob Snodgrass, aka "Mr. Brumos Porsche". He told me that Peter Gregg always thought that the Sporto S's were the best cars to drive because of the instant shift time.

Cap, there was something about the Sporto on Dreamcar Garage one time. Peter Kluut (sp?) drove what was supposed to be Peter Gregg's Sportomatic S saying that he supposedly had one to teach himself not to rest his hand on the shift lever. From what you told me at the Ale House, that would make sense.
