    Chris, it was great to spend time with you at the 912 Registry Cambria event, it was fun! And... thank you for stopping by our shop today, it gave me a chance to spend more time looking at the recliners that you made for your '67; I think they are great and it will be a good way to fix that bothersome problem of recliner malfunction. I am very interested in adding them to our line of products.
    looking forward to seeing you again soon

    Chris it was great to see your car in Excellence. Of course the one crucial part of the print medium is not being able to hear how bad-ass that mother sounds!

    I already have two people sending me messages for more info and saying they want the car. Are they the real deal? I don't know. We'll know in 9 days.
    For some 1 of 1 and always the first has appeal. If they are a collector and don't want to prang their million dollar cars but want a great early car experience, this is their car. And for them at this price it's very inexpensive. They can go to www.PompoloDesign.com and see where the money went. I was looking at a Carrera Speedster at European Collectable Monday. The owner got a offer for 1.4 million and turned it down. Some folks have the money, the collections and want things that are different than what their buddy has. Well you can say what you want, this is different and loads of fun.
    Dean has built every kind of air cooled Porsche engine you can think of. He built a 906 engine and had to wear gloves so the oil on his hands wouldn't stain some finished parts. He just finished a 2.5 6. He drove that car and mine. He said my car is stronger low and mid and it's equal up top. Minus 100 pounds in the rear thats gotta help.

    My son and I recently had the pleasure of riding in Chris' 912P. What a ride it was!! The lightweight chassis was complemented beautifully by the powerful, high revving polo four cylinder. The power to weight ratio far exceeded my 3.2 Carrera and was much quicker handling and accelerating. It is too bad Porsche did not choose to pursue this natural evolution of the dual-overhead cam motors, instead offering the dated 356 motor in the 912. The polo motor is superior in every way. And it looks cool, too!
    Sure wish these motors were mass-produced so I could find one for my '68 912.

    Happy New Year!
    This would have been my 1974 or 75 Christmas card picture. Living in Aspen at the time with my 59 Super. The picture was probably taken before or after time at the track. I hardly ever saw anyone on the track when I was there.
    I pray your 2013 is your best year yet. Chris Pomares
