the genius of that

Whoever came up with the mask idea was a genius. Not so much in hiding the true identities of those who wore them in the photos but what the masks represent. (Quote:Marlon Brando "My God... the genius of that")

For the die-hards

For the die-hards

May not be as big as a Mac-imizer but the decals have proudly been displayed since 1983!

How about a meet this week in reverse. Start at the dirt and end up at Bobs. Might do an off night and actually get a good parking space.

Porsche Crest Radu's new racing seats

Amazing how a little blur can create the sensation of speed. I'd swear Radu and all those parked unoccupied cars were way over the speed limit. That’s how they do it on SpeedVision but they will never tell you that.

The Radude showed up at my house yesterday to start to install Momo Racing Seats in his racing Porsche. They were just pulled from the Testarossa and have only been sat in about a dozen times. They should look awesome in Radu's 911. Notice the Mulholland Carrera in the Garage behind Radu's car.









Here's the interior before we started.

Porsche Crest Radu's new racing seats

We had to carefully measure the holes for the seat adapter plate while leaning over the rollcage. It was good for the back.




Here's Radu testing out the position of the passenger seat in his Porsche.




Man...with just one seat installed, the car looks totally awesome.

Here's Radu getting ready to install the driver's seat this morning.





Some of the mounting bolts were in impossible places as usual.




Looking good!

Does Radu look happy?

It's going to take a bit of shoe-horning to get Bentley into the passenger seat Radu

Actually looks way cool and functional. The added OG Graphics also add a nice "sponsored" look to the car.

Marc and I are planning on it. We talk earlier today. I'm not sure what time I'll be there at the moment. I'll know better tomorrow.
