turboT Posted 5June, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 5June, 2016 Cheeky buggers ok - last day in LA. Started at 4am and have literally just said goodbye to MW. Itinerary for the day included:6am cars and coffee meet with randoms in Palms springs. Middle aged men with more interest in airconditioning than old Porsches.10am Steve McQueen show - too bloody hot and as an 'outlaw' I no longer have interest in show queens. 'Get out and drive people.' There was some nice metal work thoughThen another 300miles (715 achieved in the two days) of driving and generally getting completely lost in the LA ski fieldsFinally return back to the hood, visit the external of various galleries and other suitably hipster buildings, before picking up some 'merch' for the kids in Adelaide.knackered, but a bit smile on my face. She does look good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poli84 Posted 5June, 2016 Report Share Posted 5June, 2016 Good on you Tom, you've made the most of a fantastic experience and your enjoyment of this ride has really come through in your posts. Whether you are a MW fan or not (I am), this past week would be a dream trip for most Porsche lovers out there. Hopefully I'll see the new ride one day in Sydney!

MFX Posted 6June, 2016 Report Share Posted 6June, 2016 I don't even care what the car cost you, it seems like the total experience was worth the price of entry. Well done, and I look forward to seeing the car when it is back in Aus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a bit surprised it all came together. From the first call to MW to the trip it was all a pretty unreal experience. MW is a genuinely nice guy that is seriously passionate about what he does and shows an amazing appreciation towards anyone that shows an interest in what he gets up to. I definitely got a lot more than a car in this deal and can't wait to get it on that stacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
