My mechanic called me yesterday and told me I needed to come down to see a car that had just come into his shop. He is not an exciteable guy when it comes to cars, having worked on and driven some pretty exotic Porsches in his time, but he sounded pretty impressed, and he was right on about calling me, because it was another '67S like mine. I grabbed the camera and headed downtown.

On his lift was a metallic blue sunroof coupe model just completing an "every-nut-and-bolt" restoration over the last 17 years by a hobbiest, in his spare time. It had come in on a flat-bed towtruck for an alignment prior to being driven for the first time in all those years. I took some pics and talked to Steve briefly and let him get back to work.

When I got home, I loaded my trusty Registry roster CD into my computer and discovered by its VIN that it belonged to a Registry member named Keith Newby, and that he lived less than 15 miles from me. I had never met Keith, but I called him right up on the phone and spoke with him briefly. He gave me permission to publish the photos I took on the internet, so I have put them up on a webpage at http://members.rennlist.com/tweedt/keith.htm

BE FOREWARNED- this page is heavily image-intensive, so if you don't have a high speed connection, it may take a long time to load on your computer. Be patient or don't click on it!

Keith has a webpage at http://members.cox.net/channel1design/ with a little history of the car, which seems to be an interesting one. He hopes to have it completed by this summer and back on the road.

Enjoy,
