Paul Newman Week - Moroso Test 2004

Just before the Daytona 24,
we took the Porsche Fabcar to Moroso for a test.

Paul getting ready to take her out
on a day that just happened to be his 79th birthday!

Make a wish!!

Then, out came the silly string...
which happened to be a birthday tradition for us at the time.

Now, how many people do you know
who can say they silly stringed Paul Newman?

Great day, good friends, and a lot of laughs!

Now lets eat some cake!

So long for now Paul, we will miss you!

I'd like to share with you some Paul Newman Quotes:

"I'd like to be remembered as a guy who tried — tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being. Someone who isn't complacent, who doesn't cop out."

"I had no natural gift to be anything — not an athlete, not an actor, not a writer, not a director, a painter of garden porches — not anything. So I've worked really hard, because nothing ever came easily to me."

"I don't think there's anything exceptional or noble in being philanthropic. It's the other attitude that confuses me."

"I never ask my wife about my flaws. Instead I try to get her to ignore them and concentrate on my sense of humor."

"Paul likes to test himself. That's what makes Paul run. He's got a lot of courage, a highly underrated element in people's lives these days."
Joanne Woodward
