Jim, What's your method to paint railing spindles? I wanted to claw my eyes out last night, got 23 done in 45 mins, not too bad?

Apologies, this is me, the mistress and Jr. Tossed it up in the snowy Porsche thread too.

Wife snapped it.

Don't listen to Glen, a true gentleman drives a black 911.

I know 911s have great heaters but the roof-on when snow is on the ground is a good general rule of thumb.

My heat is in a box in the basement. The top has seen better days, as for now, she's a perma-vert.

In other news, this lady I work with just told me she can hear the trees crying outside (one is being cut). Perhaps she had something a little extra with her coffee this am?

So a convertible with no heat in CT!

So you get to drive it 6 months out of the year?

I will be making a trip up to VT in 2016 for Porsche Parade. My plan is to hit all the states in the NE.



It should be easy to knock off more states in a few days than just driving across Montana.

The remaining states will take a lot of driving.

I try to get 7-8 in. First drive this year was early April, drove it last weekend, and will try to get in another this weekend.

The excessive sand and salt on the roads is really what I avoid. Fur lined, leather, bomber hat and a cigar keep ya warm with the top off

I just use the headers 4" from my feet in the Cobra, though it doesn't help your hands much.

Our 911 is white. It needs a respray and will probably be white again. If I were to keep it long term it would be Arena Red.

Well it sounded like a rather large and juicy bug was living in that last piece of wood I chucked on the fire
