All the best parts of the USA!

Sync Link. It's pretty good.

So much work, and the result is horrible.

Agreed. I imagine they would have strapped scaffold-bar skids onto the back of the half-a-Jeep and just driven it away in under 30 minutes.

Spec is stock crank and rods, 9:25cr JE pistons, stock manifolds and carbs but playing with jetting still on pilots. Raised trumpets on the carbs. Full flow oil filtration, ditched the stock filter as no longer needed and heavy. Alternator replacement for dynamo (higher voltage at low revs) 911 rsr...

It's pronounced 'Winnebago'.

Thought Neil came across excellently (but what else would you expect?).

I can give a DDK tour of Torrance airfield if you want. It's basically a giant classic car storage depot, with an active runway and a few aeroplanes parked around the place.

Lovely news. Well done and thanks for sharing

Ooohhh.

Worth contacting Darren65. He is very particular about colour accuracy. One of his painters did my car and it looks great. Before this, I painted it with the PPG mix and the shade was ugly as hell. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4404/36581442045_ab81cef928_c.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4401/3...

I have these on my car and I just love them.

I didn't want one near my feet, so I fixed a bracket to the cover that goes on the tunnel between the foot wells in the rear. I then cable-tied it in, working on the assumption that if my car caught fire, I could probably find the panicked strength to snap it free.

I just went to Appbiz and they had a really nice one. Has a layer on it that stops the foam degrading into chunks.

I think they may supply to Porsche, but not certain.

It's referred to as 'Tyre Blooming', by the way.

I search for it - there's a compound added to the tyre to protect it against ozone degradation. It leaches out of the rubber and shows brown. You can wipe it off very easily, but it will always come back.
