Twenty-five years ago, Richard Attwood let me drive his Porsche 917. At the time it was the greatest automotive experience of my life and in the quarter century of unfathomable good luck that has since passed under my wheels, only a handful of other experiences get anywhere near it. And it was not just because I had a 917 and Silverstone to myself. What I remember as much as the fear, the excitement, the sight, sound and feel of the car was Richard’s attitude. Every time I came in he’d ask me how it was. I’d tell him and he’d say,
“Time can do many amazing things but making a poor car good is not among them”
