He doesn't have internet connectivity at the present time, will have it soon.


He's at the 944fest right now with his flat black beast, it's in drivable condition.

it is just sick! all i can say is it is stealth. and like a stealth fighter, it is rediculously fast. it was great to finally see this beast finished, and to have a ride in her!

HorsePowerFarm car is indeed very cool---at least until 5:01pm today when clutch went BYE-BYE!
What I learned today #1: Black cars get very hot in the July sun, so careful where you push! OUCH!
What I learned today #2: Pushing a 951 onto a trailer with 6 people still takes a considerable amount of effort--dat bugger is heavy! Oh, and don't forget #1!

Andy just left here- we didnt see the post. The PC rescue team is complete, and He'll be back up and posting in no time.

I had the chore to drive Andy's Black Beast up and back from 944fest.

"Its in driveable condition" is an extreme understatement. It is white-knuckle fast. The handling is dead solid.. I didnt get into the fat part of the accelerator either way, but it pulls like a freaight train. What a pleasure and privelege, I still cant wipe the smile off of my face.

I can sum up the experience in 1 word. WHOOOSH.

If the links don't work (I expected that) it is on the 944fest FB page.
