As you sure it's not the train coming the other way?
Oh, wait, you know a bit about tunnels as I remember.

IMO, just like the big bumperettes, the sugar scoops did not benefit the looks of the 911.
And they don't give as much light either, so why? why? why?

I have to disagree about the sugar scoops. I think they look perfect on a 911. My 911 will keep them for as long as I own it. The rear bumperettes are a not so great until some moron backs into the car in a parking lot.
My El Camino has mainly man bumpers. Big steel suckers. Some kid in a Honda slid into me during an ice storm. It folded up his Honda. It left a scratch in the chrome and a tiny little crease in the bumper. I have never bothered to fix it after 18 years because it is so small.

I suppose you could get used to them, and I'll admit, there not as much of an eye sore than the bumperettes (or the US ride height,
 )

back to my sighting problem with the .22:
i bought a proper brass drift and clamped the barrel into a vice. that damn rear sight will not budge. i was really giving it some effort with a hammer and all. i completely disassembled the rear sight to make sure there wasn't a pin or set screw. anyway, even with the sight moved as far low as it will go, it is shooting 3 inches high at 50 yards and 3 inches left. i am thinking that it just isn't going to get more accurate without a scope, so fk it. it would be nice to drift the rear sight so that it shoots a bit high, but true on the horizontal azimuth. anyway....

So my year end vacation plans are starting to take shape.
I'm going to have to make one of my semi-annual Schumi posts letting everyone back into my life that I've kept quiet about after my fiancee and I separated in October. The last two quiet months have involved, mainly, my living with my new girlfriend in the marina. She's French. And we just decided we're spending christmas in Stuttgart and Paris, and New Years in Berlin. And I'm looking for a new 1 bedroom beach house on the strand here in Hermosa Beach for us to move into in October. Boom, dropped that bomb. Yea gentlemen, I'm move fast. The 2nd wife is shaping up to be a far more realistic choice.
