For any machinist it would be boring as heck but for a computer geek like me it was very interesting. I have fabricated many tools or patches in my garage over the years. Nothing I did was even close to what this guy does. He had a set of 911 heads that he had just finished rebuilding. He will start assembly of the engine next weekend after a more cleaning. He invited me over to watch the engine assembly. I should be at home putting the front suspension back together on my 911 but I may have to "help" him assemble a 911 engine. I will ask him if he minds me taking a few photos.
OOOO Can I come? Sounds like Hella more fun than working on the turbo... Which I will continue to do... Can never have to many brownie points with the guy that runs autocross...

What? high standard of living, free education, one of the world's best health and welfare systems, tons of Oil, Fish and other natural resources (all to ourselves)?

Yeah, don't know why we didn't jump on the EU bandwagon and share all of our wealth with the eastern bloc countries...

Not too sure, actually. I guess the shipping time is around a month or two. I haven't been able to get any kind of schedule out of the Auto Associates guys. I'm thinking about calling them tomorrow and getting a little more info out of them.
It's late and I need to get to bed.
