Did anyone ever make a scale, put together model of a mid year 911 Targa? I would be interested in getting one.

I wish I still had my contacts in the rapid prototyping world, they could feed a side, front, back, back and top view of a part (or in this case a car) and in a few hours a plastic replica could be made.

Gregg Valentino claims to have the world's largest arms. He is 5'6" with 27" arms "on cycle."

He was recently arrested for (drum roll please) steroids!




Anybody besides me see the resemblance?

Interesting documentary about that guy. "The man whose arms exploded." Really. Pretty gruesome. The interviewer left no doubt that he suffered from lots of issues. Little man syndrome.

When I was hired into a big corporation in West Palm Beach my direct supervisor was 6'8" tall. I am 5'8" tall. He admitted to me that when I first started there I was going to be one of those Little Man Syndrome types.

I laughed, and told him I was happy being small, when I am at my fighting weight I am 155-160 lbs. I am not tall, now think motorsports like Autocross where the car is weighed minus the driver, how much would you do to get another 50 lbs out of your car and weight 50 lbs less than your competition?


How this for random?

True. Last week I got lapped constantly at the karting track by a 75 LBS 12 year old.

Randomness,



My buddies and I last year on a canyon run.

Cool pic, Jorian. Is that near Hell's Gate?
