i expect it to look a tad better, my l33t photoshop skills aren't l33t enough to make it 100% realistic... the area inbetween spoks is blacked out since the donor pic was of car, no brakes in em
I've seen a couple of black and red 944s with the same wheels in gloss black. I think they look fantastic. I'd have put them on my old 911 if it weren't for the fact that I already had Fuchs.

motion,

On the fresh water question, I would be willing to bet that there is a filtration system in that building next to the two tanks. The last resort we were at had an amazing filtration house that had clear glass side windows so that you could see all the plumbing and such.

This pic was taken after our last set through the course at the end of this summer.

Likely a desalination operation.

here goes, collegue has loads of "toys" at his desk
one of wich was a monkey called "lekker"

he's english , but lekker in dutch means tasty
but also means "hot" if referring ot a girl

regardless, he goes on biztrip
i nick his monkey
he comes back
i telll him the money is on a field trip , from office to office within the company...

each office , sent in pictures of "Lekkers" adventures

this is old stuff , but just found the pics back

first, Lekker went to Brussels





from Brussels, he took off to Paris





London

he went to some expact boozefest called " the Church"
and obviously needed some local currency, no Euro's in London

Lekker then took off to Edinbourgh



but still slightly hungover, it was a bit uneventfull

so buggered off to Stockholm




this went on for 3 weeks or so, and we kept the idea that we actually sent the monkey around, when in fact it was just 10 feet away in one of our desks, we just had made collegues abroad score a similar monkey for this setup

Some of the sushi that my buddy made for us at his house the other night.





Yes, he's a white boy and has a sushi bar in his apt. He was trained at one of the only accredited sushi culinary schools in the states.

Stijn,

On my work computer I still have a picture posted on...I think Rennlist way back when of a phone dial with the lip polished but the whole center portion done in an anthracite medium to darker gray. It looks awesome. I really thought of doing that on my PD's but ultimately I thought they would look best on a white or black car. GREAT on a silver car.

Yeah, the picture that was listed with that 951 when I bought it showed the 993's in original factory silver. It looked good. The kid I bought it from did this highgloss powder coat right before I bought it. Every young guy liked it, I hated it.

No self-respecting white boy would be caught dead with those wheels on that car.
