Default oooo...RSR Fuchs...

came across these on Ebay. Although they are selling for about as much as my car is worth, they are soooo bad.

1) You would if it was all that was left to make your RS-R clone look perfect

2) Maybe that is why we dont own RS-R clones. Trust me what you drop on those wheels isnt even close to the rest of the coin you would have in the car.

For that amount of coin, I'd buy a 951. Sure are pretty though.

Just think what you'd pay for wheels if you were restoring a Duesenberg.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

I'm really sick of that expression. Totally useless in so many ways. Speaking of Duesenberg's, long time ago (10+ year or so) I read this story in Road & Track. I'm going from memory so it may be a bit off, but you'll get the idea.

At some concourse (might have been pebble beach) some guy in jeans and polo type shirt walked up to the owner of a prize dusenberg and asked how much he would take for it. The owner didn't seam amused and told him the same thing "if you have to ask..........." the guy in jeans took out his check book and asked again. The owner said a few millions dollars (exact price is not important)
The guy in the jeans wrote out the check and asked for the keys.

It was the owner of Domino's, the check was good.

Even the filthy rich need to know how much money to take out of the bank. To think Donald Trump would buy everything he wanted by handing their person a blank check is silly. By saying "if you have to ask, you cannot afford it" your basically saying rich people do just that. Buy everything without knowing what they are spending.

Paris Hilton might fall into this category, but her father sure doesn't.

944Pete - this wasn't directed at you, but at the statement itself. You didn't coin the phrase.

this is what an RSR looks like...

http://bender.annenberg.edu/pelican/JackOlsen/E1.html

Pretty it is. I used to not like the duck bill but looking at a real RSR in person at the historic auto race at VIR (yes they were running a REAL RSR) the duck bill has grown on me to a point where I like it more than the whale tale.

I am starting a sort of RSR project myself. A 1970 911 E with 43,000 on the clock and no rust. I "figger" going with a 3.6 (cause I can not afford a real RSR 2.7) that I may tie up $20k ( if I am lucky) in the project before it is all done.

I thought those were the same wheels Jack Olsen used on his black car, that was a good Excellence article. I think that was the same issue Hoffman was in as well. I didn't think they would be that expensive though. Going to interesting to see what they sell for...if they sell.
