Now, I can't say I like that car anymore than a normal boxster, only because that is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist; it's a mod that didn't fix anything (aka BLING). However, how many of you have modded your doors with black out trim, chrome trim, or RS panels on a daily driver, or even the Renn aluminum lock knobs and handles? Isn't that the same thing?

I'm just saying we shouldn't "playa hate" so quickly. If he likes his car, all the power to him. Remember a Boxster will out slalom and out drag many of our cars.

When he gets his car back, it'll have chromed 18s all the way around "racing" seats, cup holders, and a full DVD/playstation system where the engine used to be.

"B" might be more fun, I dunno. (shrug) I'm kinda surprised how many of the "R" guys and dolls take it to the track. There's a pretty good mix of folks. Collectors, concours weenies, and lots o' guys that build cars and do all their own work. Not very many gold-chain poseurs like the PCA gets. There's zillions of Porsche people out there, and probably room for all the clubs. There's even room for overlap.

Sure is fun to f*ck around with 911s! I'm having a ball.

maybe some 22 inch spinners with a lift kit and side pipes for that guy. he might need a ladder to get in the car then since he's short, maybe dropping it to the ground and installing some airbags would be better.

When I get my car back from Pimp MY Ride will the R Gruppe make me a member?

I wonder what the difference between a Harlequin and a Man of Wealth and Taste is?

So what's your best time at Big Willow?
Here's a couple shots of other R Gruppe cars racing.
Check this link page 25 for another R Gruppe race recap.
Several members race early 911 cars and several others have nice street machines and race newer Cup cars, Carl Akins or Richard Price do you know them?

The first picture of me that Jens posted was of me when I was skinny and on my diet. The latest picture of me is after I move to Vegas and have bin going to the BUFFETS....
