Vintage watches like vintage cars?

Sure I'd have a 550 if I could. I don't really like 356s. I work on 'em and counsel their owners but as drivers, not for me. I've have the early s and frankly with the fuel available at the pump and the traffic they're not fun until you're on the track and for me that's only a couple of times a year. Had the 914/6 probably and shouldn't have sold it but I still get to work on it.

DSJ, we're both getting older. I used to classify "old cars" like you do but pretty much now, if its air cooled, its old. The water cooled people, for the most part, haven't done their homework and anything older than 10 years is ancient. Same goes for the dealerships. They're not supporting the cars as long as they used too. My fabrication skills have had to improve just out of necessity as lots of the parts aren't available anymore. If your dad raced porsches in the bay area, chances are we've at least bumped into each other at the track. I try to keep a low profile though, I like the underdog feeling.
