The way the old boy says Porsche is the way I've always pronounced it and the way it sounds right to me. Belated birthday wishes to him.

agreed, as a fellow Brit he says it correctly. Don’t get me started on aluminium - 😂. What a great moment Mike. Great to see your dad enjoy the benefits of all that graft.

Awesome Celebration Mike, great to see your pops and you enjoy your restoration. This is such a great hobby, my second restoration is a '56 Ford F100 that I use daily, it changed the ten minute trip to the hardware store into sometimes a 45 minute conversation with folks in the parking lot. The stories are nearly always great, heart warming memories that are stimulated by the truck. The current Porsche I have in work will likely evoke similar experiences. Congratulations sir!

Thank Pedro Dad is a real inspiration and a Super Star We love him and are thrilled we could share this special day with everyone. Cheers!

Mike, I’ve watched all your restoration videos a number of times. They were particularly interesting to me since I drove many many SWB Porsches for work at a Porsche service department when they were new… Far be it from me to give you advice on anything, but I will pass along some advice that was given to me by a Porsche factory service rep (and former factory racing team driver) back in the day: “Keep the revs up. Change engine speed frequently. When you finish the break in miles, change the oil and filter. Drive it like you stole it.” All said with a pronounced German accent… Again, a job well done, Mike. That’s a multi-thousand dollar bolt-by-bolt restoration you did. Very few people would have the dedication to see it through to completion. And few would have the money to have someone do it for them… Well done!

Thank you very much I appreciate your sharing these tips! So far we have clocked less than 100 miles on her but and no baby driving She gets full revs and lots of RPM variation. I will keep this in mind for the remainder of brake in and there after. Its excellent advice=) Thank you for sharing Cheer!

Awe what a great video!!! Your family is blessed with so much love for each other not to mention all the talent you have, I was so honored to have shared the moments with such a loving crowd to celebrate your 92 milestone LEN!! You are amazing!!!❣️❣️❣️
