turboT Posted 6April, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 6April, 2017 Had a look underneath yet to see how much paint's left? too scared to Mike-S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-S Posted 6April, 2017 Report Share Posted 6April, 2017 LOL, it's probably for the best. I was only looking today at the photos I took of it outside the Ovolo just after you got it registered, it's fair to say the paint is a little more worn since then....I haven't washed mine yet, but even under the thick layer of grime I can see the front bumper is now sans paint and the windscreen's rooted. I blame you and Nick on the way from the brewery to Bicheno, it was nothing to do with me trying to keep up turboT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboT Posted 5July, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 5July, 2017 OTLW update. Apart from the MW bit (about 3 years) I know nothing about the history of this car. I have a Porsche certificate saying its all as delivered, but thats it. But I did have a few stickers on the car that hinted that a previous owner might have been a pilot. Through the power of instagram I finally tracked him down today.Lt Col Darin Barrit was the last owner for about 5 years, and his cousin from 1985. I have naturally requested any old photos with F15's in the background, got google gave me this pic - Darin is second in the lead - call sign 'Élvis' Simonk, Scott930, LeeM and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 6July, 2017 Report Share Posted 6July, 2017 My cars 2nd owner was a pilot.Sadly I think he flew shuttle service from la to Las Vegas. I guess your quality of pilot goes up with the number of hp your car came with ex factory. Look for Cessna paraphernalia in the 912.nonetheless Pilots make for good PO- they understand maintenance and spend time flying and not driving.

brian in buddina Posted 6July, 2017 Report Share Posted 6July, 2017 A pilot may have excellent mechanical sympathy. On the other hand some pilots have the goverment pay for his training, pay for his ride & and pay for his ride's maintenance. Very cool picture though!
