Title: Re: Lee Leighton in hospital -- Has passed R.I.P. Post by: Sarge on September 20, 2014, 13:40:10 pm What a shock... I look back to the days of working in Riverside in the mid 70's at Sierra Porsche Audi and having
the good fortune of meeting most of the movers and shakers of the VW drag scene. Lee's shop was right next door to Fumio's place and it was always fun to chat him up. One day we were talking about a broken ring and pinion in my sand rail and he mentioned his son Mike doing transmission repair. I had Mike do ours and never had another problem; something I never forgot. RIP Title: Re: Lee Leighton in hospital -- Has passed R.I.P. Post by: peejke on September 21, 2014, 12:23:04 pm RIP Lee
