On the Edge- continued from page 6 “About a year ago on a cold and windy November day, some friends of Mr. X pooled their collective (limited) intellect and boosted his wrecked 911. Perhaps it was not the most legal of decisions but it was for a good cause. We were going to rebuild it for him and give him the nice car that he deserves. This is the beginning of a very long and twisted tale so it may be prudent to shed some light on the type of person that is friends with Mr. X. One of the perps in on the boost had a wife that was in labor before he left. His daughter has just turned one year old... now that should set some of the background. Mr. X is one of those people that eats, breathes, and lives Porsches. He has been known to help a fellow enthusiast by lending out key pieces of his car even if he just barely knew you. He would never take anything in return and insisted that whatever part, no matter how deeply it was buried in the engine or suspension, it was no problem to get to. It is just the type of guy he is. This entire operation needed to be done behind his back so we could actually give him something back. So leading up to the day when Mr. X’s car was unskillfully removed from his driveway and a roller was purchased to be loaded with all of the good parts from Mr. X’s ‘86. To make a very long story short over the course of a year a group of people worked on the roller to remove the sun roof, prep, and paint it in Nogaro Blue (Audi S4 Color). Then all of the parts were installed on the roller and it was brought back to life. There were over 40 people involved with what has now been dubbed “Operation 911” all in various degrees. There was a core group that really pushed the project forward through many different challenges and successes. You can imagine how difficult it was to build a car from the ground up staffed with only volunteer labor. All of the parts and supplies that were needed were donated, traded for, or scabbed out of personal inventories. Thanks everyone for all that you have done for the project. This is just a short introduction of the story and I am not going to do justice to it. You should all look forward to updates from Mr. X and the other members of Operation 911. This goes to show that no good deed goes unpunished. Remember, especially during this holiday season that friends are worth their weight in engine, suspension, and interior components. Thanks, Mr. X for all you have done this is the least we could do. I would also like to thank you for putting up with the silly pranks that we have asked of you. Each of us has our skills, Mr. X fixes Porsches and I use my over active imagination to give people enormous amounts of grief. You have been a good sport and we plan on having many laughs at your expense about it.” That’s the kind of people I’m constantly running into in this club; from the people who will give you the control arm off their back, to a group of people who wanted to give back to one of the good guys, so they built him a new car.
