i have been a rwb fan since i 1st went to japan (1996) & became familiar with tuner market - culture there, substantially different & deeper than USA....and
rwb's founder & the sub contractors/suppliers that work with him are a big part of it.

good luck with your build, no question it will be outstanding.....there is no way this guy would lose face offshore. ( gombatte, ne...anato-wa, nihon go hanashimaska?)

It just occured to me that I could get the 924S over to S. cali for a makeover. The paint is already faded to a fuzzy matte finish.

Slap some oversized fenders on that puppy and you're good to go!

Puppy it is. A real poodle.
Fenders would offer a ton of options for the oversize wheels, and when I exceed the grip in my flatout time attack, I will need one of those tri-plane Red Baron wings on the back.

A little "where's Waldo"...Look for the early Carrera in the rauh welt blog with the extension-ladder wing.

Woohooo! A project build!

DB, I didn't see the video with the snake. Tell me you guys didn't BBQ and eat it.

Costco Pepsi machines are really nice now, with white led lights.

wait, I was sending the 24 back to Germany to have the factory fix it up in their classic resto depatment. It is my way of spiteing the factory for their short sighted econo box offerings. Maybe their pain would be endowed by sending it to welt-sei first...

I knew somebody smart was behind Costco's slick operations. Maybe Ed you can get them to stock the 435/22-19 tires I'm going to need for this Audi-san hatchback build.

just curious if anyone knows the translation on what the rwb cars are selling for? I saw www.carsensor.net from raspberryroadsters post and was just wondering what the prices are and how much difference in price they are compared to what we have here? I know they are expensive but was just looking for actual figures. thank you.

I was so gonna ask if you were selling ice to hawaiians. No, not the kind that will get you a visit from Dog the Bounty Hunter, but the cold kind. Next you will be in Alaska selling sunshine to Eskimos.

And NO, we did not eat the snake! Played with it for a while then turned it loose. Well, the drunk Lucian played with it. Me, no.

this is my son jumping into what used to be the stream running through Roger's back yard. Since Tomas, it's just a muddy landslide....

Glad you are home safe. I just linked your Ruby Redux thread to a Racedeck thread in OT. Don't be surprised if random strangers start requesting assistance with rebuilds.
