Hello Cameron,
Your favorite mechanic, Kevin Molineaux is my nephew. He got his love of Porsches from me I believe. I had a 356 B convertible D. His dad was also a huge sports car fan. I just wanted to introduce myself and thank you for recognizing Kevin’s talent.
Sincerely,
Karen Dickinson
Hi Cam, Lea Oakley here. I almost bought a Porsche, but went with a Mercedes. We could have talked cars at the high school reunion, but I missed it as my son was in the ICU with sepsis. So on my way to Bend, I turned around and went to an airport and flew to Denver to be with him and his family.
