OK, so this may not be for everyone, and it will raise eyebrows amongst the Porsche snobs, but, Hey!  It's MY car and its a REPLICA so I can do whatever I want.   My wife and I are Celtic and she gave me this skirt pin just for Pearl, so here you go....the Celtic skirt pin horn button and it just happened to be the perfect size.  

 

Oh.....and after epoxying it on, the horn still works - always a good thing.

What, you never heard of Leprechauns?? 

 

No, the Scandinavians were "Nordic" - BIG guys, ate sardines, sailed dragon-headed boats with oars (is that how you spell that profession?), swung big axes, dressed in skirts, all that stuff.

 

Celts, OTOH, came from Scotland and/or Ireland (what the heck, they're close, and those old buggers could swim like the dickens), were somewhat shorter, ate Herring, sweated more (with an interesting, accompanying, fishy odor), swung big hammers, also dressed in skirts and many of them had red hair, rather than Nordic Blonde.  They also have the reputation of saving Christianity by smuggling books out of the libraries and monasteries of continental Europe and copying them, by hand, during the Dark Ages (when book burning became the fiery rage in Europe) and then brought those copied books back to the continent after the Dark Ages to jump-start the Renaissance by starting monasteries all over Europe.    But that's another whole thread........

Yeah, it came out kinda nice!!  I was on the fence about that particular medallion until I realized that the central stone is the same color as my wife's eyes.  That clinched it.  And the fact that it was a perfect fit for the button face (even convex shaped like the Momo button) couldn't have been better.  It's silver (really) so I'll have to polish it now and then, but that should be easy.

 

Sometimes you kinda luck out, and Kathy's really happy to contribute to Pearl's being pretty!

 

Now I can't wait to see how Ollie's comes out!

 

Car? Oh, right, the car that was supposedly mine, all mine, three weeks ago.

 

Since then, I've spent two days in 105-degree heat driving 800 miles up and down I-5 to take delivery, overnighted on the Queen Mary, and listened to a variety of amusing stories about why the car still isn't in my driveway.

 

Suffice it to say that, in its heyday, the Queen Mary could have gotten the Speedster from LA to Sacramento quicker than the Lickety Split Trucking Service enlisted to do the job.

 

Latest word is Monday, fer sure.

 

By the way, did I do anything embarrassing in public after I looked at Gordon's horn button?
