Angry last post

Last Friday, a nice gentleman (also in Florida) bought my C2S.
A real knowledgeable Porsche guy, fast and accurate, , not a tire kicker (like the last 200 before him)
I hope he enjoy a lot the car, and let me see it from time to time !!!!
He bought the car last Friday in the afternoon.

The same Friday, almost at the same hour, Vince Colosino, my good friend and excellent owner/mechanic at Gulf Performance Porsche died. :-( :-(
I found out today and I was shocked as Vince was not an old guy at all and the coincidence is just terrible.

He called my C2S "the cupcake" …

C2S (cupcake)

Vinnie


A sad sad day to me and many others I guess ….
this is my last post, and leave a picture of my C2S and this good guy that ALWAYS treated me like a friend and paid a lot of attention to my car.

A very sad day indeed. Vinnie was my mechanic, but like Eloy said, he always treated me as a friend. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and co-workers at Gulf Performance.

I am sorry for the loss of your friend but feel sure you will always keep the good memories. I suspect you will also keep the good memories of the "cupcake"..

A reminder cars can be replaced but people cannot.

Life is precious. You need to take the time to live it because you never know when it may end.

A child in our family (cousin's son) three weeks ago today received a successful heart transplant. He is a very brave and courageous 13 year old young man. All of the sudden, the world stopped and all of life's other "problems" seem petty. Thanks to the absolutely wonderful docs, nurses and staff of the Columbia Presbyterian Children's hospital in NYC that saved this youngster's life. Our family will be forever grateful.
