As an aside, the P-car is not my DD, and still I've put 8,000 miles on her in less than six months. These weekend trips do add up.

I was thinking of changing out the original rubber-centered clutch disc as preventative maintenance, but I might be 150K shy of that mark after all

Your car is too nice to try and pile on the miles. Mine is just a beater.

Hey Dan - can't help on the dash cracks, though I have read that keeping the material soft and compliant may help.
On the T-belt.... you're 100% correct. That is something not worth messing with. I change mine more frequently than the recommended interval. I've had enough bad experiences with broken belts on my DSMs - I don't want any part of that drama on a Porsche. Not worth it, not worth it, not worth it!

To answer your question - no I'm not going to make it to the Fest this year... I'm currently working/traveling out West and residing on the SW coast of Oregon!

Too bad you can't make the Fest this year. That's two in a row now. You'd better get your priorities in order for '08!

Here's a laugh, Scott... the other day a coworker called me up, warned me he thought he saw someone driving my car! I said, was it a crazy-looking guy with bushy hair, driving like a jerk? He said yeah, I said no, that's just Scott, driving his own car...
(FYI, Scott and I work around the corner from eachother, and my 931 is the same Plat Silber Met as his 944)
To add to the confusion, I just picked up another Plat Silber Met. 931 last week... though it's not running yet...

...oops, I meant to say, I was on the track at the time, and a corner was coming up so I had to slow down.
Several months ago, I posted the same picture on the 928 forum and I did catch some flack. They bashed me because they were focussed on the speed and not the mileage. One poster said, IIRC, "I hit 110 in 3rd gear getting on the interstate.
