I arrived from the UK – to be Gordon’s boss, I guess – in late 1984. What a great friend he and his wife turned out to be. My wife, Marilyn, and I still meet with them regularly. And I could not care less about Porsche 356s! Gordon and I raced Opels in the International Ice Racing Association in the late ’80s for a couple of years – a Manta and then a 1900 sedan – with a singular lack of success but a huge amount of fun. I quickly learned that the best race cars were those that someone else owned – in this case, Gordon.He’s a great guy BUT I wish he would finish that damn 911. Come on, where the hell is it?
