The belly tanker that is!
Mamma G says I’m the hardest one in the family to buy for. Huh? Maybe I’m missing something, but a trip to the local automotive collectibles shop is a no brainer!
She needn’t worry though, as I’ve already received what I want. An original from our resident artist here in The Garage, Paul Chenard, wrapped in a card fit to frame as well. The card is an image of Sir Stirling Moss at the 1959 Nurburgring 1000 race. Knowing that I’ve been into the traditional rodding scene these days, Paul included a wonderful drawing of an iconic belly tanker at speed on the white sand salt of Bonneville. If you use your imagination, it almost looks like the red and white machine is gliding across some freshly fallen Christmas snow.
It will be hard to top this one come Christmas morning!

Gary,
The more I see of Paul’s work, the more I like it. He was kind enough to send me the original illustration he created for my logo. It’s at the frame shop now and will have a place of honor on the wall in my office!
Next year I’m going to talk with him about creating a personalized holiday card I can send out to all the other Porsche fanatics on my list
Well if you like the one on sand you’ll just LOVE the one on SALT!
LMAO!
Doh!
Maybe a little too much wine at dinner last night!
Obviously, Sandy is on your mind!
I was just thinking, as Christmas approaches, and the year wraps up, that we all love cars and racing, and that has become the base for some great friendships …
Cheers to you, guys!
