I know what you mean, I rebuild a lot of wrecks I shouldn't but you get to looking at them and say why not? Is that a Celette frame jig?

Not only is she easy on the eyes, she's extremely personable and cordial (and not to mention around 5'-1")

I want to live on 7 mile road - NOT. I got my rear window shot out on McNichols near there many years ago.

Sarc, my wife liked your color elevation drawing - she asked if it was one of mine.

I liked it to, I trust you will do something with your talent.

Trust me, when you're in line for awhile to meet someone you see all kinds of spooky people (most of them in this case being of the middle aged, desperate housewive persuasion). Once I saw the line of 400, I decided to grab about 5 magazines and hang out in the cafe (where I took this picture) for 2 hours until the line shortened to about 10 people.

bye bye to El Bastardo

Alea iacta est

El Bastardo has a new owner
was hauled off on a flatbed exactly 4 hours ago

E.B. always looked a lot better on camera then in real life
and again , El Bastardo did not dissapoint :








3 years of sacrifice, and in the end , E.B got sold for only 2 grand more then i bought it for, which would be fine if i hadn't spent more then 125% of the original purchase value on that car in the time beeing...

so be it.

for better or for ill
it is done

i respectfully resigned my membership of the early S targa club.

9113310111(aka El Bastardo) now is owned by a former Banker, current CEO of some dutch company , he had it inspected by a Porsche mechanic, never bothered to drive it, and had it hauled off for complete strip down restauration...

good for El Bastardo, i guess the POS needed somebody with deeper pockets then me...

i'll survive, the torch will be carried by my trusty 944, which has proven itself in terms of reliability and also by it's ability to "drive while looking where i'm going through the sidewindow instead of the front window while making smoke"

at least ,i think that is the official way to call it according to the Top Gear list of standardized descriptions... ?

in any case, the 944 has given me more then 10 times the fun for less then 1/10th the price...

now it's a wait and see for my next 911, i'll have one , that much is true,
but at least i know now how NOT to buy one


i take this as a personal failure,
ran out of luck , talent and money
now it is time to mourn
i've selected a bottle of Scotch for the event
my liver be damned !

Hey Stijn,
We all go through these things at one time or another. Best to just consider it a part of life & move on. Just think, 100 years from now you'll never know the difference. Good luck on your next acquisition.

Stijn - that car consumed you my man - get a 911 that you can drive- then drive the piss out of it.

You are better off with that car in your rear view mirror, I promise.

Now, go drink a carslberg - hoist your glass to the old girl, and move on!

Various randomness...

This guy flew by our local airshow in Upland, CA making a lot of noise...



A very large car...


The largest bi-plane in the world (or so I'm told - it's Russian and it's huge!)



A very small pilot...my son
