wanted to bring this back up to the top with some more random pics.

A little photoshop fun:

A few of the almost (fiiiiinally) done 2002. It's dusty and still needs its final buff (and the Recaros should be in next week) but I was visiting the 'Cuse last weekend and took some pix. Cramer can attest to what it looked like "before".



It may get me thrown out of the herd, but if I had to choose one of the cars I own (and only one) to keep -- it'd be this one.

That's a nice cobra shot. Great angle.


Slacker,
that's a cool car. I'm always looking around for those. I saw this one outside my work the other day. It looked like a concours winner as far as I could tell. Everything about the car was spotless, correct, and flawless. The interior was better than new too.

Dave -- that is a nice specimen, and the owner has put not inconsiderable love and ducats into it. It's funny now -- having deleted the front and rear side reflectors, the door "bump guard" and the rear reflectors on my car, the original stuff makes the car look cluttered to me. I love the Roundies!!

Hopefully the car will be done/done (as in buffed, new seats and on the road and being driven) in a week when I'm back up in the 'Cuse. Then I'll get some pix (including a group photo w/ all the kids).

WOW, is that the same car?

If I remember it was an oxidized shade of Atlantikblau before.

Those marker lights were an add-on for the US market anyway, right? So you've really gotten back to the way it looked on the drawing board.

I think I have some pics of '02s from the museum in Munich, I'll see if I can find them.

Looking good! Now, when does it get the Turbo?

I think I would probably do the same... hopefully I'll never have to make the decision!

Man you are soo right. That Pepto ad was so stupid and lame. The other one is the ad where a chick sticks a tampon in the hole in the bottom of a boat to stop the leak. If I were a chick I would throw a brick at my TV when they ran that spot.

anybody know this game?

it's more addictive than crack, lots of fun, billiard-based, I think it's origin is from the UK (early 20th century)

Great with some good beer (which game isn't?)
