Exterior and interior clean-up. Oil change. Fuel tank filled to the maximum. Tire pressure raised to 55 psi. A good clean-up of the garage floor. Garage thermostat selected to 8 C and car park inside for another winter ;-(

Drove through torrential rain and flooding here in Hamptons NY... my almost worn old Bridgy Potenzas held up okay... watched one idiot in a Mini Cooper driving high speed through every puddle... he ended up in a bush.. shame I didn't have my video operating.... dried down car, topped up Pentosin and wiped down MAFLESS air filter which now hang off the ICs

sounds like a fun ride lol. i notice you "topped off" your pentosin?
is this something you do often?

...back on topic. i am ( thanks to a rennlister who shall remain nameless unless they proffer it who helped me in the nick of time with a spare bar! ) late this evening installing an oem rear sway to TEMPORARILY! replace my broken gt3 bar.

i can't wait to see if i am honestly able to tell the difference on some off camber hard laterals
either way, another gt3 bar is in my future as i have a front end to finish and those are the only sways i would like to ( continue ) using.

I drove my car out to the autobahn cc for a Porsche NA \ Napleton event. Had a blast on the track with the newer PDK 991's (non Turbo) but there is no comparison to the raw boost and handling with my Moton setup. I also will keep my manual.

yeah, but two things are true. the 991s w pdk are no joke..and that your car is set apart from them.. for obvious reasons.

i'm just surprised you still drive it while it's for sale! but good for you.

Sir Randy Pobst commented on my spoiler fluid level. I'm still a little giddy.

I can one up you. Randy personally inspected the sway bars on my GT3 at the track a few years ago. :-). He's a cool dude, and easy to root for when he's competing.

A few years back I was fortunate to have been one of the crew members for the TPC team at Watkins Glen and Randy was one of our drivers. Something I will never forget. He is a class act for sure.
