    Yeah, I know that's an odd question, but I'm trying to find anyone with a "real" Porsche 917. I figured if anyone has one, or would know who does, he'd be the guy. I'm working on a 917 clone with a friend's shop, and we've run into some tech questions we just can't find answers to.

    If anybody can point me in the right direction, it'd be much appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Cheers,
    Dan

    Run for president...Leno is required to interview and pass on all candidates now, I believe. I'm sure he'll be relieved when the interview turns to cars...

    Vasek Polak Porsche in Hermosa Beach? Vasek was the real race mechanic, and he's been dead for a number of years, but the agency still has his collection of racing cars on display. Oughta be somebody there who is 917-savvy.

    Man how I love that Gulf Oil paint scheme. It would make almost any car look cool. Well, maybe not a Pontiac Aztek.

    Looking for Jay Leno? Just go to Autobooks in Burbank. He's in there every time I go in. He must work there.

    Drive around Burbank for a while during the week. You'll eventually run into him on his way to the studio in one of his many toys.

    You could hang out in front of the gate at the Big Dog Garage and wait for him to pull up. Having a hot blonde with you might help.:D

    If'n I had a hot blonde with me, I probably wouldn't be concerned about finding Jay... or much else for that matter!
