I found these series of Porsche commercials to be quite entertaining.

Enjoy!

Since I was 18, I had an interest in Fiats. My HS teacher lent me his '58 Fiat Abarth Zagato Milano "Double Bubble" (see pic) for the summer to do some detail and tune-up work for him. What a car! There was NO OTHER car that looked like this in my Long Island neighborhood. I got hooked on small sports cars ever since. That was a great summer!

Wonderful little cars. I told you about the garage nearby which had a bay full of the Double Bubbles in various stages of completion. Why didn't we ever make time to run out there to visit him?

I just spoke with Danny ODonnel about the FIATS. He sold all of them except his own, which is there on premises. We're invited to come 'round to see his cars. He also knows a guy down on the coast who is trying to sell his 'driver' Double Bubble. He'll check and see if it's still available.

Yes Frank, back in 2016 in "Off Topic" I recall you mentioning that Fiat guy but can't remember why we never visited him. I'm sure up to taking a Z fun run ride up to Vernon with you next Zeason if you are interested in going. :D
