A wonderful evening...

...just coming back from an end of season reception hosted by the Solitude Revival Society.

Many old Porsche heroes attended and a special tribute was given to Hans Hermann, LM winner 1970 on a 917.

Had a wonderful long chat with Peter Falk, Porsche Racing Manager from 1969 onwards and mastermind behind Porsche´s 956/962.
He spend a lot of time opening a treasure chest of anecdotes and facts, particularly about the 917 (he even sent away a TV team so that he and I could talk undisturbed!)

Also had a very long super interesting chat with Walter Näher, by then engineering mastermind behind the 917 and author of the definitive 917 reference book.

Couldn´t believe he even gave me his private contact details, he is living around the corner and has no email, internet or mobile phone.
