Finally,
Something technical to show us how the idiot was avoided.....

Way to go Tidybuoy, I finally cracked up laughing at something in this thread.:D

All of the Bob K rhetoric was bogging this thread down. His posts should default to green print most of the time... :rolleyes:

How many pages would this be going in OT? There must be a crosspost bringing OT fans here. Thanks for the additional 'technical' details!

Bill Jennings 12-29-2013 09:39 PM

Tidyboy,
Excellant technical content by the way.
I was about to add fuel to the USA vs Aussie thing but laughed so hard my beer came out of my nose!

Cheers
Bill

Me I've been waiting for a report and update.

But then the brake porn showed up and I'm happy. That all looks so sanitary, very nice.

But just to stir the pot, +1 for the Bob, I appreciate his curmudgeonly ways.

This things so preposterous...
On face value, obviously, a report should have been called in immediately.
But...which house does this person actually reside in? And how do you know??
Second, have you reported it? or do you plan not to? Is there more history to the story??
It certainly seems that your habits are benign and don't warrant the reaction...if it is a reaction.

I'm convinced that there's a segment of the population that believes that the minimum speed of a 911 is 100 mph.
Back in the day, when I first acquired my 911 SC, I was transiting through my neighborhood with my young son as my co-pilot. I was actually doing 20 in a 25 zone (standard operating procedure in my neighborhood for two reasons; (1) don't want anyone to accuse me of being a maniac (2) give the neighbors more time to admire the piece of fine German engineering beneath me) when we happened upon a fat blonde mommy traveling the opposite way on a cruiser bike who screamed out "Slow down" as we drove by. Wanting to set a positive example for my boy, I shouted back "shut up you cow" or words to that effect :D
Since I've bought a Turbo, things have only gotten worse. Now I have old men standing alongside the street shaking their canes at me. After all, a Turbo has a wing on it so it must be a race car; therefore it has be breaking the speed limit.
We have to accept that the lunatic fringe is out there and will do things to interfere with our ownership experience :D

It's America (somewhat rural) by the looks of the satellite pics... so there's a distinct possibility that it will end in gun violence. :D

When you do go to the cops to make your report, keep referring to the guy as a "Jake Leg" or "Hay Seed."
We don't refer to people in these here United States as "Jake Legs" or "Hay Seeds" nearly enough.

I'm a tall fat Polack. My head is also kinda twisted to one side from high forceps.

Bernstein was the pediatrician. His nickname was "The Hook".

Hmmm, maybe meth behavior is not unusual on this board. Tidyboy just wanted to show off his brake and suspension work. He's messing around, right? I'd be worried (not scared.. I own a Porsche after all) , real worried. WTF

That's odd. You seem to have a considerable resemblance to Vic Elford and he is quite short, still thin, and was still an Englishman, last I saw of him.

No, not correct. He's been tinkering with the mongrel CIS system on his car and I suspect the thing finally cleared it's throat and ran on all 6 cylinders. The sudden burst of speed probably took him by surprise.

The brake and suspension porn was a nice commercial break (I however draw a line at a pussy in the back seat).

It's now 8:30a in CA. So what's crazy up to?

mreid 12-30-2013 08:30 AM

Just to be clear, if you get pussy in your Porsche, you recline the passenger seat...

cdrik915 12-30-2013 09:30 AM

We've the chance , here , to solve theses problems more quickly.

Matt Monson 12-30-2013 10:18 AM

This thread is classic and I suspect Bob and I would get on great in real life. His comments remind me of myself.

Starless 12-30-2013 12:16 PM

Come on man! It's 3:15 out here on the east coast already!

There is no Aussie vs. USA thing. As Timmy says, it should have been in green. I can't be a smart aleck and expect everyone to give me a hug. Although, prolly what I am pacifically searching for.

Are the front inserts Sport?

Kemo 12-30-2013 02:07 PM

Nice thread!!

I have this vision of a Chris Farley type bounding out of the bushes, screaming obscenities, all jacked up on something! (someone mentioned Bath Salts)

A belly flop...and he missed :) And of course its all your fault for not letting him land safely on the hood of your car!

I'd give you a hug (or a kick in the ass), Bob, but I don't think you're ready for all this! :D
