Honey, don't ask why, but we're going to have to sell the house and liquidate the kids' college funds to raise some fast cash . . .

Who is Singer? Surely not 70 YO Norbert.

I'm guessing it's because Rob Dickinson is a musician? Sorry, I had to google him. Getting old, I guess.

[Jack Olsen]

Not Norbert.

The motor alone cost $75k to build. He started it up for us on sunday....quite nice. You would certainly not know it started life as an '88.

Is there a better way to do a lightweight mirror?

Actually, yes - it is indeed named after Norbert. No direct affiliation though...

Wow! Almost speechless...

+1 on the clock. And I LOVE that tail. That looks similar to what Milt was crafting up on his 964 tail. Very cool... Looks like he only knows one color-combo though.
