Understanding yesterday’s comments of note
A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“I have driven my black over red for 15 years, many times during Pebble car week and not once has anybody figured out it was an Ostermeir. The fuel door is perfectly contoured to the car,sits. Eli’s the belt line and it’s so small it’s barely noticeable. Very small deviation for an otherwise perfect recreation.
Note the air conditioning. Looks like what genuine aftermarket real 300SL would have installed because the car is so hot inside. If you watch enough 300 SL driving videos you will…”
“John Weinberger had one of these in white at Continental Imports in La Grange, IL back in 1970. My dad was considering buying it, but I think at 5’-11” he couldn’t get comfortable in it. He ended up buying the fly yellow De Tomaso Mangusta John had, instead. That’s the car in which he picked me up at Orange County Airport when I was discharged from the Army in 1971. Sure wish he’d kept that car, or either of the two E-Types he owned (one of which he’d bought from Mr. Weinberger).”
“I kind of feel like the 997.2 Turbo S is a hidden menu item. So many people talk about 997.1 Turbos and 991.1 Turbos, but this remains akin to a secret for enthusiasts.
It has the smaller, more nimble feel of the 997 chassis coupled with the ferocity and traction of the PDK and AWD, and although these aren’t the Mezger engines they are stout.
This generation remains somewhat of a ‘if you know you know’ type of Porsche, and there is SO MUCH to absolutely love about it. GLWTA!”
