I want this wheel, but smaller, more sidewall for the glorious northern roads.

He lived in the trailer in his shop. You do get a bit strange after a while though. About once a week, one of us would drop by and take him out for breakfast somewhere so he still had some form of human contact.
A guy here in town builds fantastic race Porsches. He has an anonymous shop in an industrial area and doesn't advertise. He basically takes on the clients he wants and when he's got enough work, he says so. He's got his own dyno and enough machining gear to rebuild an engine from scratch. His property is full of interesting stuff - the sort of guy that when you stop in looking for 914 seats, will pull out four different types, give opinions on how to modify them to make them better, then let you borrow a few so you can try them out. He's run the Mille Miglia and the Carrera - I saw him driving his 356 still stickered up just a couple of days ago.
I figure he's living the dream. He's not pulling down huge coin, he's simply doing what he loves to do, doing it well and not beholden to anyone.
I had a hard time finding a hotlink because Al don't need the internets. But here's one of his street 356s. This car has all sorts of special that I don't know enough about.
I've been free for a year, why do I want another? NYG ACR Coupe, I've already had a sport coupe and an R/T sedan.
