I really like what he has done w/ his cars. He's taken the early 911 and make it unique to him. He says "I do what makes me happy and I don't really worry about what other people do."
My philosophy too. I currently have three 986 Boxsters. Two are bone stock, very virgin cars. The third I'm building how I vision Porsche would have built a GT3 Boxster, taking styling and performance cues off the Boxster and the 996/997 GT3's. Once complete this winter I'm sure I'll catch some grief here when I post pictures of the build. But at least it won't have pink wheels!
But like Mangus, this will be my version and vision of how I want my car to look and what makes me happy.
