Interesting little story.

Just got back from a rather nice holiday visiting a friend who has moved to Naples (Florida - not Italy).
We had a bit of a mini hurricane hit his neighbourhood and being charitable people, decided to offer his 84yr old new neighbour a hand, clearing up the broken palm branches from his driveway and roof.
Nice old gent, retired TWA pilot who started flying in the 50's. Opens his garage and along side a humdrum Ford/Chevy/Something saloon, is parked a really nice dark blue 928 GTS manual.
Still drives it and prefers the manual to an auto, had from new, never had any work on it apart from five (yes, five) aircon units (it's pretty hot down there all year!).
