thanks guys. The video Dshepp mentions is a good shot of the confusion. The guy making the vid was right next to me. He pulls onto the track right next to me at about the 5min mark and I come in and out of frame. It's helpful to see an exterior shot of your car in motion...fun. I'll see if I can link to it.

Great video! But I won't show the wife as it would only confirm what she said to me today, "you bought a mobile vagina!" Ouch again!

too kind guys. Rus, the 924S is a front engine 4 cylinder, 2.5 ltr watercooled sports car. It has a 5 speed transmition that, after being breathed on by angels, became the G50 Also, it was built by Audi using a collection of old VW super beetle/Rabbit parts and was sold to misguided people in what could arguably be the largest truth-in-advertising violation since the 914.
Yes, the event was a lot of fun for Kara and I and shoot'n shiznit with some fine people was the best part.
Maybe a cars/coffee or PCA Christmas party could get you your shizzle fix. It's no Rennsport reunion, but nothing is.

I feel even worse now about missing out on Rennsport.

And this water cooling idea- is this a new fad? Will it work?

water cooling has been around a while, but the fad has been forced upon us consumers like Hanna Montana in recent years. Will it work? within the context of the technical leviathan the 924S represents, perhaps. There is a dizzying array of primary and secondary systems that must work in concert together, but at 56*F ambient, the balance is achieved. Any cooler, the car is forced into coldstart enrichment and will pull strong above 4K rpm, but huff black smoke and drink gas...it will pass everything on the road but a gas station. When warm outside, the temp creeps up close to red on the temp gauge and detonation begins. Then the ballet of thermostat modulation and cooling fan activation begins waltzing a scene from The Nutcracker...it is very satisfying to the driver knowing that the brightest engineers in Germany have pushed automotive systems design beyond World War 1 technology so we can keep full heat blowing on our feet all year long.

Well, now I feel bad for missing this year's Nutcracker ballet. I'll be selling Christmas trees Thanksgiving weekend.

Just a hint of coriander. CHEERS

I just (begrudgingly) walked into the local WalMart, and they had F-ing Frosty the Snowman on heavy rotation in the speakers. I guess this is controlled at the main office, but if it were me and I ran one of these joints, I'd crank Jimmy Buffet and mark down Pinapples this time of year.

Hershey Pa. is another "must attend" for the Porsche enthusiast.

I'm probably going to play Elvis tunes, Johnny Cash, Bing Crosby in the evening, and 70s and 80s pop, soul, and rock during the day. I have a huge musical range of interests.

For some reason I keep recalling Clark's dream-sequence from "Christmas Vacation". You know...the diving board.
