Awesome Story About One Man's Dream Machine
by John Coyle

Jim Goodlett wanted a 930 Porsche for almost three decades, and a couple years back, he scored this pristine grey-market example. But the quest to find his dream machine is only half the story.

That's incredible...true car enthusiast.

The older Porsche's have a presence that is unmatched by today's cars. This is coming from someone who loves the 997.2 GT3RS to death.

 

wow!

amazing car enthusiast, love the camera work and editing too

 

Great little story! I would have shit my pants if that Porsche he bought was the exact same one he test drove decades ago......imagine that!

Ranks up there as possibly one of the best cars of all time. The Turbo changed everything.

 

Lovely video. In a time where instant gratification rules all, we often need reminders that good things come with time, hard work, determination and most importantly, passion.

 

Yes GT Cole..this car also shaped my youth..and it was the "reason" for being a Porsche fan..

One day also a 930 belongs into my garage..for me this is a must for every Porsche collector..what I dont like about the car in the video is the front nose..no fog lights??- looks a bit screwed up..wheels not in original paint..but OK..

@teamspeed administration: please bring us more of these stories - ts is a great website - but I feel we are loosing a bit the "human touch" here..posting news about new cars and future cars is great..but please bring us more the stories behind - "the owner and their cars".. for example, would be happy to see stories from F40, 959, GT1, C-GT, Enzo and so on - owners..I know you have put some stories here..but I would appreciate more of it. The section "car-member of the month" is already a good thing..

thanks guys
