Great to finally meet you too Farrell ... that 912 of yours is very cool.

Hey ratpiper71T... 7s up front and 8s in the rear.

Had a terrific all-day drive Saturday through North Central Pennsylvania.
There are some GREAT roads in the area... what a blast.
For mid-November, the weather could not have been better

Issue 206 of Excellence Magazine

At the risk of coming across as a self-promoting, narcissistic megalomaniac, I wanted to let you guys know about the story I wrote for the December 2012 issue of Excellence magazine.

I'm very pleased with the results. It took a crazy amount of work and time to complete it. There was a significant amount of angst involved too. Specifically, with trying to get an interview with my hero, MOMO founder Gianpiero Moretti. As you may know, Moretti passed away early this year. Approximately two years ago I was closing in on getting an interview with him. It was as good as done. Then, I was informed by my contact that he was sick and would not be able to do the interview. No other explanation was given but I later found out he had terminal cancer. Well, I was heartbroken and I still am.

I suppose not getting to talk to him is something I'll always feel sad about but there is one great thing that has come as a result of my story. I've become good friends with the person he was closest to during the early days of his company MOMO. That's something I'm so damn grateful for.

Please try to check out the story and I hope sincerely that you enjoy it. I really put my whole heart and soul into it.
Warmest regards,
Mark Morrissey

I saw this car at LimeRock last year....had only owned my SC for about 4 months at the time.

Thanks guys. It's kind of funny... I really wasn't too sure about the buckets with the city lights option. But after using them on a rainy/foggy type day on a drive and seeing photos... wow. I changed my mind in a big way.
They look too damn cool for school :cool:
