Member Spotlight: Jill & Scott Williams
Andrea Bell, Public Relations Chair
This month’s spotlight is on new
members Jill and Scott Williams.
Jill and Scott own a beautiful white
Carrera 911 4S. They actually purchased
the car on the day after Thanksgiving
this past year. They went shopping for a
vacuum cleaner and came home with the
car. In case you were wondering, they
got the vacuum too!
Jill said, “It was a
pricey one, that’s
for sure!” When
Jill and Scott got
married, they had a
company car and a
1990 Mazda RX7
Turbo. It was a
great, racy red car
that they thought
moved pretty nicely.
They sold it just before the birth of their first son who
is now 18. Since then, she has been driving anything
that can fit 3 boys comfortably, mostly GMC Yukon
XLs. Scott has been driving Mercedes sedans. Now
that the boys have (or will have) their own rides, they have
been contemplating a revival of youthful ideas.
Scott loves motorcycles, but Jill is not too keen on the
danger aspect of driving around Dallas. She shared, “It’s
not his driving that I’m worried about, it’s everyone else’s!”
Subsequently, he always has been fond of his first car, a VW
Bug. Before they were married, he almost bought a Porsche
924, but went with a Toyota Supra instead. Jill added, “This
Porsche has replaced all of his desires for a
motorcycle. We both feel it is VERY fun to
drive and truly a sports car experience.” As
mentioned, Jill and Scott have 3 boys. They
are 13 (almost 14), 15 (almost 16), and 18.
Their 18 year old would have suggested we
purchase a GT3, GT2 or GTS. She added,
“Maybe on the next one.” They have both been in the DFW
area nearly all of their lives. Jill and Scott work in their
company and when time permits, enjoy playing golf. Of
course, they have things keeping them busy with the boys.
She said, “We are interested in participating in Porsche
events, including driver instruction and racing on a track.”
I think they are “on track” for making that happen! Look
for Jill and Scott (and the boys) at a future event and please
extend a warm Maverick welcome.
