I am 64 (an old fahrt). I do performance driving instruction for Porsche Club, BMW Club and whomever wants my services (like,TrackTime).
If you ride as my student, you get a ride in my Porsche 911 GT3.
I guess you could say that I'm 64 going on 35!

'08 AM Vantage V8 - '03 E500
It's an amazing car, especially for people like me who just can't get excited about a 911 and who think the Audi R8 is kinda ugly. I still can't believe that I'm actually getting one - I've owned exactly six cars in my life; I've had the Datsun since 1973. You're close to an AM dealer (Bauer) so you should check it out; my nearest AM dealer is 70 miles away. The '08 might be worth waiting for, though. It'll have a Sirius radio option and full iPod integration, among other new goodies.

You dog!
I'd better start saving $'s fast. Never thought of trying to get that past my wife. How did you manage that? Spectacular congratulation, btw. I do lust after those automobiles. Details?

Do you remember a reverb unit mounted under the dash? When you went over a hard bump, you'd hear a loud crash as the spring inside vibrated from the bump.

I remember seeing a 45RPM deck mounted under a dash on the passenger side. You used to slide in the record & when it was over it would eject. You had to have a co-polit/DJ in the car with you.

Readings some of these posts reminds me of one of my favorite Sopranos lines, Uncle Junior: “We go way back, to when Moses wore short pants.” I’m not too far behind though I go back to an OEM eight track player in my first car, a ‘75 Chevy Monte Carlo - one of the first ordered with a metal sunroof delivered in ’74 a couple of months after graduating HS.
DWP, congratulations!!!

Barry, I immediately got the connection to your userID but, tool me a minute for your avatar.
I have the E today while the wife takes the dog to the vet. This is a very sweet drive but, I have to watch the speedo, it's too easy to fly and think you're going 50
