Hi Guys,

I was in Oakland for business Friday and stopped into Fantasy Junction, I was taking a picture of the Cobra when a youger guy (Mid 30's -- younger to me) drove up behind me in his Porche 997 Turbo. He is the new owner of CSX3356. It is painted the same scheme as my CSX4264 (Continuation Car) except my car is black and this one is Blue ----- i.e. Stripes with Rondels.

Looks like it is pristine condition and he took it for a ride. I talked to him and he is involved in some way with hedge funds and lives in San Francisco. We talked briefly, the car started out as a standard street roadster and was converted to SC format in the late eighties.

I invited him to BACC breakfasts in Dublin and the only advice I gave him was

"Don't make it a garage Queen"
