Only a GT3RS? I would have said a CGT or 918!

You boys keep buttering tweeze up like this and that poor girl is gonna develop a cholesterol problem.

Andy, I recently read that the US currently has a shortage of tool and die makers. Sounds like the apprenticeship should be extremely worthwhile.

That's the way to start a morning, Jim.

My coffee making is acting up. Coffee makers don't last long around here unless I use bottled water religiously.

We manage OK using a Britta to filter the water before filling up the coffee maker.

BTW, my gear-head co-worker keeps suggesting I pick up a 944 since I'm now Porsche-less here on the East Coast. I'm trying to hold out, but...the...temptation...is..........

I figured it is not a bad trait to have and add to the resume. If I need a part or something unique, he was always "I can make that for you." I remember growing up and him making parts for my remote control 4x4. Everytime a plastic part broke from my abuse, he would replace it with an aluminum one.

I have a Keurig in my office, but I use purified water from my lab. Through a water softener and reverse osmosis. Right before it goes into the De-ionization filter I added a tap for the coffee maker....haha.

Well, you already have a nice parts car to go with that red 944.

Their price is too high, IMO.

Too expensive for my tastes..although it has crossed my mind. I have had a thing for 944 for years that I just can't shake.

Good Hump day morning folks.

Another busy day. The city with the fake river finally said GO so we have to figure out how to mount one big image on a three boards. The one image has to span three boards that are 21 3/4 on the two end boards and 48 1/2 on the middle board. We can't print one board and then cut it because it is bigger than the laminater. Oh yea they want it laminated with a dry erase laminate so they can mark on the print then wipe it off easily. We did it for them three years ago and they loved it, so we can do it again.



This is a clip of a small part of the overall image. I blurred the river name to protect the innocent.

So I have been reading through a lot of this thread, and this may be a stupid question. What is Stijn?
