    Day thirty-four

    I had become a pesky fixture at EASY on the first Saturday of each month before I was invited to attended my first R Gruppe Treffen in '05 in Monterey. I had just purchased a perfectly clean, rust free, one-owner '70 911T, in signal orange, later to become Ruprecht, and as probably happens to quite a few star-struck first-time 911 owners, all the noble determination to preserve my pristine early car just as it was when it left Zuffenhausen went out the window when I found myself amid one hundred or more modified, sports purpose classic 911s in the Hyatt Regency lot.

    Of all the fascinating and varied machines on display that day however, one unique and striking example kept drawing me back for another look, and then another. It was a Bahama Yellow '69 911, ( I think that's the name of the color ) with a lighter yellow classic racing stripe and enough exterior & mechanical details to keep me occupied most of the afternoon. The things the owner had done to this car, the choice of colors, the details, the overall design, and perhaps most importantly, the things the owner had chosen not to do, all resulted in a mesmerizing whole.

    That was the day I first met Rob Dickenson, and it didn't take long at all to conclude that this engaging young man was surely going to become a force to be reckoned with in the early 911 enthusiast community.

    In the first photo below, the 911 described above, as I first saw it.

    The next few shots show the all new Singer, the tangible result that sprang out of Rob's quiet, continuing involvement with his passion for early 911s, on display at its introduction to the world at the Monterey Historics in '09. Rob and his interest in Longhoods have come a long way together.

    Hope it's treating you well Andy!

    Thanks for posting those photos John, I think my small group of guys were wandering around and missed the group shot.

    John-
    This page is my first stop each morning back here in frozen Indiana. My 1969 Tangerine 912 lays waiting for warm temps to burst to life on the windy roads. Thanks for your efforts. It is appreciated.
