After a year, I think I am getting the hang of it, Rick.

Yeah all of our bad habits are contagious

I have a big tree just back of the carport and the 930.
Now, you know how clean I keep the car.
This tree is full of birds, but the only way out is under that tree.
The sound of the turbo seems to send them into a Poo fit.
I once tried to roll past out of gear and bang!, right on the roof.

Birds are to cars as bullets are to targets. They always find there mark.

You Americans have a great play on word humour.
In Australia, its more about making fun of our own.
I met an American girl who thought it was sad.
She said to stop putting yourself down, she just did not get it.

hehe, thats true, Dave.

And the more I feed them and help them with the babies and the crappy nests they make, the more they poo on my car.

[slodave]

Their, not there. Oh well.

Had a great night yesterday.
I have been following a thread on the turbo forum by an old guy called Cole930.
He has been fighting cancer for a few years and his dream is to finish his 930 with a 934 style conversion before he dies.
It had both me and my GF in tears.
After following his thread for the last year and posting on it, and a few PMs.
I thought, stuff it, I will give him a call and say hello.
At first It was a bit odd, I think he was wondering who the hell is this nut.
After we got going, we had a great chat for a half hour about cars and life.
What a great guy, old school and hard as nails.
He told me about things he had done in his life and the love of his car.
I dont think I will ever forget that chat.
Sometimes its good just to do things without all the thinking.
If I had thought about it, the brain would have given reasons not to call.
Glad I dont think about things sometimes and just do it.
I would never have met him.
That would have been my loss.

I NEVER leave ANYTHING of any value in sight in my vehicles. In fact, don't ever even bother to lock the Rover.

Learned the vandalism is worse than the actual theft years ago. Cost me $75 to replace a drivers glass so someone could get at the $1.38 in the center console tray. Now change goes in ashtray, and ashtray gets closed.

If they really want to steal your car, no amount of door locks or alarms are going to stop them. Know a guy that his car alarm went off randomly at night for a couple of weeks. Then one morning his car was gone. Also heard of a Porsche that was stolen from a garage. It had two cars behind it in the way, and no clutch. Nobody heard anything, no alarms went off, it was just gone. They even put the two cars back in place.

I only leave my V1 on windshield if it is hard wired and no dangly power cord to draw attention.

Drove a boxsterS with top down, and left top down more often than not while parked for 4 years without one bird hit. However, have been bird bombed on the top of the head once crossing the street.

I am actually bored now. Weird. I am dragging my feet on the rear suspension code since I realize I need measurements taken in an auxiliary frame of reference to do the camber and toe, and that there are many variations on the rear suspension when you get into the race car guys and their modifications to the 935 rear suspension.

I don't have homework. It is too early to study. The only studying I do is last minute so it is still fresh in my mind.

I've been brushing up on the vehicle dynamics book and thinking about cool suspensions I would like to do on the FSAE car if it can be built.

In a week or so I will be much busier however.

[Flieger]

Cancel that. I just checked my online Racecar Egineering library and there is a new issue in. See you guy later.

[vas930]

Max, how about designing a good front brake air duct system.
Something for stock body 911 guys.
Sure as hell no good one on the market.

[slodave]

Yes there is.

I'd have to get a hold o the guy that has done it.

[vas930]

If you could find it , Dave.
I would love to have a look.

[slodave]

I'll send him a note. If I remember, he was using some ducts off a later model.

Good evening folks. I got my yard mowed. The fescue grad in the back year is a shard grass that loves cool weather. It stays green all winter. The bermuda grass in the front yard is starting to green up. I had to remove a layer of old dead grass.

[GH85Carrera]

I also got the oil changed on the El Camino!

[vas930]

Nice work, Glen.
