Glad its almost bedtime over here. :D

I'm climbing with a blonde.... It's a good day.

i had some the other night that tasted like it was bath water.

Good afternoon guys. I was looking around in my photo collection from long ago and found this photo of me driving my 914.

There is no PhotoShop in that! That is a scan of the original transparency, 100% reality. That is from about 1979 or 1980. The original rear springs on the 914 were getting weak but the Bilstein shocks were still quite stiff. There was a small dip in the road there and as the rear end hit the dip gravity would compress the suspension but the shocks would not allow them to return fast enough. I got a buddy of mine to sit in the front yard of a house and I made several passes. This was the best shot. I installed new springs after I got the photo and the same dip would not get me airborne anymore.

I have had a 16x20 print of that on my office wall for 30 years.

For the photography geeks. That was shot with a Topcon camera that I still own. I scanned it here at work at 4,000 DPI because I will likely make a new print of it. I left the frame information on there just to show it was not a digital photo. I personally processed that film.

what was it?

the beer? I have no idea some local micro brew.

ah. well, you should try josef hofbauer or schmidt beer. keep 911 on speed dial.

Cool pic and reg plate, Glen!

Evening guys, having a blast dodging lightning bolts this evening.

Be careful Rick.

Lightning kills more people than any other weather phenomenon.
