WE'VE HAD SMILES FOR MILES

Chuck and I have been exchanging some great pics of late and have come up with an idea...a similar thread will be posted on the Early S board by Chuck soon...

It’s usually about the cars on this board … but how about the people?

Let’s see you owners, wives, husbands, girlfriends, kids, and buddies…

With your or their cars… Nothing too silly or risqué … just some nice pics of you’all …

Let’s put some faces to names, and names to cars …

This is all about the people and their cars...your all time favorite pics of your nearest and dearest - show us your most memorable or beautiful pics...

I have a stack of 'em, but am going to kick off with an old favorite of Dad, which a lot of you may not have seen. A bit of history and nostalgia to start...

It's a beauty - probably no later than mid 1961 as Mum isn't in the pic! There's a V-Screen and 2 356B models in the shot which would make my date pretty accurate. Dad is sitting in front of his green 356A cab looking at the camera on the right of the photo. I think the black Speedster in the background may be his former car which he bought new. He traded the Speedster in on the Cab, but told Norman Hamilton to keep the new engine as he wanted the old one from the Speedster which he had already "tweaked"! The rest of the gang is the original Porsche club which folded later in the 60s. Incidentally, the funds from this original club then went to the "new" Porsche Club in Vic when it started in 1975.

What a blast - then just as now...it's all about the people and the cars...

So I've shown you one of mine, let's see yours...before I bore you with the family album!!!

Cheers,

[Chuck Miller]

Here is a shot of the week end Lisa and I met, it was the 24 hour relay race at Winton in 1990, That was held from Friday 13-4 to Sunday 15-4.
See if you can see Mike Tankard, Kay Tankard, George Cairnes, Graham Andrews, Lisa, myself and any one else who may be familiar.

Hee hee...

I think I was snoozing somewhere behind the guys...I'd been up for nearly 3 days by then!

Jeez that's a long time ago now...wonder if we'll ever do another one? It was great fun - the whole thing; even better that we won!

And less than 12 months later Mike and I were walking down the aisle....watch for pics from that day!

I love that photo Chuck...the girls look like teenagers and the backdrop (including car) is just beautiful...people and cars...perfect!

Here's one of my brave gal who often rides shotgun for me...most of you have seen it but I love it so here tis: my gorgeous Charlotte beaming out of the Abarth happy as can be to be riding shotgun for Mummy...

here's me and my navigator from our first go at targa tas. i'm in the blue jacket and cap. simon is looking worried as this is his first ever tarmac rally and the weather report is rain rain rain.

we had rain 3 1/2 days out of 5. day 5 was so bad that, in everyday life, i wouldn't have driven to the shops but, for targa tas, i drove the 50km mt arrowsmith stage!

we finished in pretty much one piece (left a mangled front oil cooler in a bin in burnie...) with a targa trophy and a class win! last year we went back for the 3rd time and picked up our gold trophies and got a top 20 finish in classic.

its an incredible event. classic adelaide is more fun but tt is more satisfying.

Great pic Ryan !

Simon looks petrified and you look relaxed...not sure what that tells us :wink: . Great result last year - congrats again.

Here's one of Dad and I on a much more relaxed tarmac rally...most of the time! We had tons of fun, Dad and his co-driver won their class and we girls finished fairly respectably in open class against much bigger hp...and over 80 places ahead of the nearest all female team :twisted: !

Whoops...sorry but the pc had a little meltdown and I managed to post twice ops: .

I know its not a Porsche, but a blast from a past life, approx 1984.

Alex (its OK so long as I can give them back at the end of the day) Webster with Charlotte (Charley) Jacobson at Phillip Island historics 2006

[lisa_spyder]

It's official - our daughter is a bona fide rev head!

I know both our boys are into cars, motorbikes, motorsport of almost all descriptions....Charlotte has always enjoyed the same but to a lesser degree. This weekend at Philip Island she transformed into an historic racing addict! She dragged Mike off around the pits more than once and did the same with Hugh...took each by the hand on different occasions and announced they were off to the pits where all the action was :lol: !

This was deja vue for me of the nicest kind...I used to do the very same with Dad when I was her age - I hope she never changes .

Here are some of Charlotte's favs...and some of Billy's too

[lisa_spyder]

Billy's favs...

Billy had his favorites too....

[lisa_spyder]

His favorite museum car...why? Because this one was his grandfather's favorite...(obviously!)...he picked the resemblance immediately and asked me 64 questions about it :lol: !

[lisa_spyder]

Here's another of the Cooper....we didn't think we would get him out of it!
