For those of you near Concord, CA next week will be the annual vintage VW & Porsche treffpunkt. A place where our cars are accepted, since we straddle the lines of both (like a step-child or distant cousin). 

Last year, I was able to meet @Bob Hampton and see @Sacto Mitch (well his Speedster).  Hoping some of you can can out.

I have heard that Sacto Mitch does not really exist, so I am not surprised that you saw the car but not the “owner”.

Rather, I believe that several Hot Rodders from Recedes, with secret yearnings toward 356’s but afraid of Euro ridicule from their fellow American “Street Rodders”, have lovingly banded together over a single 356 Speedster Replica to get it to a number of “significant” shows in your area to spread the word, as it were, that “cool 356s are out there”...  Just look at THIS one!

They have often shown up on here, with pithy commentary on a variety of topics (some even related to 356 Speedsters) so widespread in their view and erudite in their prose that it can only be the work of a collective of individuals, all sharing the authorship role.  So far, we have all fallen for it, but there is this nagging wonder if all is not as it seems.   

After all........   Has anyone ever seen a photo of “Sacto Mitch”?
