Dave Quick – 345 Photography

I am in the midst of scanning in a lot of my old negatives. This is a set from February, 2003. The full album is available by clicking any here at http://www.pbase.com/threefourfive/2003shirley if you’re interested in the other pictures I didn’t post here.

Jon Shirley is the ex-president of Microsoft and this is his private garage. Not only did he let the local Ferrari Club of America come in and gawk he personally led a walking tour of the garage. He knew every nut and bolt of every restoration. It is so awsome to see this type of enthusiasm and involvement from someone that is obviously in a position to have someone else sweat all the details without involving him.

He is also active in vintage racing and is an active philanthopist that is involved with a number of fund raisers for Children’s Hospital and other local charities.

If he ever stumbles on this page or any others about his garage tour… THANK YOU and please let us back another time!

This is an overview of the floor from upstairs… I didn’t take multiple shots at varying angles to create a panorama, sorry…
