More Progress on my 911 Gruppe R Car....

A Gruppe R Porsche is a 1973 or earlier 911 restored/modified for ultimate performance. There is no effort to make it original or matching numbers. The Gruppe R is only about going fast. This car started out as a 1971 911. It now has RSR flares, a 3.2 liter high performance motor and gearbox, big brakes, and performance suspension. This car is being built to be as light as possible and barely street legal. Basically a race car for the street. Here are some photos as I start to assemble it. Will post more as progress moves along..

  I started working in the British car industry when I was 16 back in 1966. In 1973 I started my own British car repair shop and built it into a world leading parts and restoration company. Here is a sample of the various projects I worked on over my life time and a few cars I raced. Hope you enjoy them. This is an XK120 I converted to a modified E Type IRS. This race car I built and raced in the 1990s. In 1996 I won the west coast CP championship with this car. Fun year! My 1964 E Type race car that I have raced for 40+ years and won many races with. A very highly modified Porsche 911 motor I built for an RS clone. A modified Buell cafe racer I built. A 1965 TVR Griffith 200 I restored and modified for racing. After racing it here I sold it to a racer in England who won many races with it. When we were aShelby American dealer back in the 1990s I had to race a Cobra to promote sales.... :) A one of a kind CBX Spondon motorcycle I built and still own. A nice super charged Morris Minor m

My Home, San Luis Obispo, California

Dear Family & Friends, I have lived in San Luis Obispo since 1969. I truly love where I live. Lately I have been going down town early in the morning and walking to get some exercise. The nice thing about walking at that time is the the town is quiet, the light is good, and you pay more attention to what is around you. So I have been taking photos of local landmarks to share with you. Hopefully some day you will come to SLO and I can show you around. Jason Our good friends Kim and Becky joined Bonnie and I for a local fund raiser. Notice the nice weather? This is the middle of December. Do you need any other reason to live here?? I thought I would include this photo of me by my Vincent motorcycle parked in front of the local SLO Mission. This was another fun raiser I organize. Those of you who know me or follow me on Facebook know that every morning I go to the local coffee shop and meet a great group of friends and we talk about cars, motorcycles, politics, friends, weather, or wh
