5 stars....I'm glad I waited. It sits aesthetically well with the interior...very organic.
i like it.

if anyone is looking for a good "match" for an early car, i love my brisbane.

its cheap ($100), german, you can change the backlighting, no cd slot, rear usb in, sd card slot, front aux, and my personal favorite feature, you can program the startup volume. it will start up wherever you set it no manner how loud it is when you turn it off (sounds minor, but its great when you have the sunroof out and windows down)

It will read up to a 2 gig SD card.... that's enough songs to last a week!

Drove up to Hershey yesterday to hang with my old 968 friends.
Just got home a little while ago. Ol'Black is running great!

smart ***!

I'm doing it, just curious on how many others have.

I can't see that the power steering is under that much stress it really needs the cooler anyway. I prefer a manual, but this will do for the cheapskate in me for now.

i'm glad you got a laugh out of it, i didnt want to come across rude. i just couldnt resist

i am really happy with my manual rack. i was at a point where both my rack and pump needed rebuilt so i figured why not.

Went to the first auto-x of the season with the new Bilstein Cup suspension and stock tires to run in ST-R. Rear end was coming around all day...the spring rate may be too much in the rear. 400 lbs.

Default groceries and gas

Drove to get food rations-human gas and for YIPEEE drove around watching dash light flicker a few times......So after almost 1 year and 7000 miles of new ownership...I pushed it and for the for the past week been wondering if the low level gas light would ever come on as I commuted.....or will I need triple AAA to save me?....It made it thru the weekend to a steady dash glow today & I made it to the pumps...so success! It still had well over 2 gallons in reserve..Sweet that's 50 to 60 miles left to go.... ...

May is right around the corner so the all seasons are about to come off...good thing cause they have quite a little shimmy in em!!!

The spacers are on the way for my late offset wheels, I found out that my rear amp works IF I use the built in crossover switch, or else it will work sometimes and sometimes not. (I guess I will have to replace it) I just replaced the JVC head unit with a new one that I can plug my 120gb Zune into, or plug in a simple USB drive loaded with music. It even tweaks MP3's (oversampling or some kind of voodoo.) I began to investigate the heater, but with the sort of nice weather, I've been driving around with the top down, and a bit of heat is welcome. I've got an idea what to do, just need to FIND the stuff under the dash?? Another month or two, and I will be really desperate, and it will become the #1 priority.

Scott.
