Greetings all! My name is Brendon Sheiry and I have had an interest in classic Porsche vehicles since I can remember. My father, John Sheiry, used to drive a stoplight orange 914 and I remember the joy that car brought my father and I even from the young age of 6. In the year 1999, my family moved from Maryland to Virginia and the 914 was sold during the move. I unfortunately also remember the sadness this change brought my father and I, not the movethe absence of the 914. Years later, I earned my drivers license and was introduced back into the Porsche world with the 944. After a few years of toying in the garage, attending a Porsche drivers course, and participating in an auto cross eventthe hole the 914 had left had finally been filled by a 3L incredibly well balanced track machine. In 2011 I departed the DC area for college, military career, and to begin starting a family of my ownanother hole had emerged. I was no longer able to walk into the garage and learn from my father just how special the 944 was, I was a 12 hour drive south in Alabama. Over the years since 2011, my father has had project car after project car. It seemed as if every chance I had to visit, there was a different car in the garage and there was much more to learnThe 968 was revealed. It was after days in the garage and many test drives later that I knew I needed to find one of my own. I now own one of my own, amazon green 1993 968. My fatheragain instrumental in the acquisition, advise, and restorationhad introduced me to a community and gifted joy that cant be found anywhere elseand it all started when I was 6. Every time I work, drive, reference my 968, I am constantly reminded of the ways my father and I have connected through hard work in the garage and behind the wheel. Thank you for the opportunity to join a community in order to continue the joy.
