CAR/YEAR MAKE/MODEL YEAR DRIVEN COMMENTS/SENSATIONS

1961                Peugeot 403                         1962 Solid French offering;  Michelin X  tires made all the difference

1966 Plymouth Belvedere Hemi 1966     Other than the Cobra, fastest car around;  where are the brakes?

1965 Pontiac GTO 1965 Fast off the line;  could feel the carbs kick in;  not bad handling

1955 Porsche 356A  Speedster 1962 My first car;  the Blue Bathtub;  it was what driving was all about;  great gearbox;  fast for                                               engine size;  low to the ground;  heat, defrosters?  Ha

1960 Porsche 356B  Roadster         1965 Perfect upgrade from the Speedster;  roll up windows;  unexpected comfort;  same dicey handling

  1964 Porsche 356C  Cabriolet 1964 Beautifully made;  gas heater available;  hardtop with sunroof as an extra

1964 Porsche 356SC  Coupe 1964 Another notch up from B series;  better gearbox, performance and handling

1965 Porsche Carrera 2  Coupe 1965 Very quick 356;  almost as fast as XKE;  very twitchy rear end with limited slip differential

1966 Porsche 911 Coupe 1965 Bigger and better 356;  six cylinder still in the rear;  handling improving;  Ken raced one  in SCCA

1966 Porsche 912  Coupe 1966 Better balanced than 911;  not fast enough

1967 Porsche 911S  Coupe 1966 Refining the model;  nice 5 speed gearbox;  available as Targa version with removeable top

1968 Porsche 911T  Sportomatic  1968 What were they thinking?;  but I liked it !

1970 Porsche 914  Targa 1971 Is it really a Porsche?;  nicer with the 6

1995 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 1995 All wheel drive helped handling, but heavier;  still a beautiful driver
