I was fortunate to be able to attend a meet surrounding the newest Rauh Welt Porsche build, and Nakai-San was to finish putting the car together as the meet was going on. It was a very cool experience and a once in a lifetime event.


After fighting through rush hour traffic, I finally arrived around 6:30, the meet was going strong. I was excited because I'd be able to hang out with two of my car idols at the same time, one of them being the infamous Magnus Walker.

The NSXes were out in full force.

Shortly after I arrived, Nakai-San took a break from putting together the Porsche, and Magnus Walker showed him around his car. It was incredibly cool seeing two Porsche legends enjoying each other's presence.

There was a plethora of extremely nice cars out.

I went into the shop to check out the progress. I was very impressed with the fit and finish of the kit and the car.

Not every day does one get to see a craftsman at his craft.

Nakai-San will do some work, then take a few steps back and observe the car. He was constantly tweaking little things here and there to get it just perfect.

He took many smoke breaks.

The 996 has been slowly growing on me. This one caught my eye.

They moved the car to a nearby garage to finish it up and take some photos. The Libertywalk 458 is being stored there.

About 80% done here. Still needs the wing and some other knick knacks.

As one would imagine, many Porsches attended.

My good friend recently got the Mugen SS kit and hood. So badass.

Went and got dinner, and when we came back, it was like a scene out of The Fast and the Furious, but too dark to take pics. It was especially great because it was a very warm summer night, and being surrounded by so many incredible cars and car enthusiasts, it was a night I will never forget.
 
Always enjoyed your stories Colin, any plans for going to Willow springs or Buttonwillow anytime soon?
 
Those are some beatuiful cars. My Gawd that 458 is soooooo sexy.
 
Man I really need to move out there with you guys. Californy is the place you outta be, so I'll load up my truck, and move to Beverly!!!
 
Great pics, Colin! Seeing Nakai-San and Magnus Walker hanging out was pretty epic. It was also cool that we got to hang around the car while Nakai-san worked on it. Gotta love the magic of SoCal car culture. :)
 
Awesome pics and unbelievable rides! Thank you for sharing, looks like a great time!!
