Hi Tony,

Are you running these OEM 996 TT wheels now?

I have been thinking about switching out my RH 3.6t’s to the 996 TT wheels.

I think they look excellent on the 928.

Could you tell me some info on the wheels? Front/rear size and ET? Spacers?

Cheers,
Michael

Default In front of the carriage house doors

In the driveway. I think I may have the only house in the area with cherry garage doors.

Great shot of the house Bob.

I do like your doors, never noticed them before. Actually I like the paint, the trim and the driveway. NICE HOUSE

Did you just work on the car, your front end looks high. (I only know this because i now have ride height experience)

Scott Mohr's GTS is gorgeous! I wish i knew it was that nice, I would have given (Iforget who bought it) a run for their money.

The pic of Big Mac's S4 in the tunnel is GORGEOUS!

Thanks for the house comments. You've only been here when the doors were up and 928's were sticking out. It took a bit of 'convincing' to get K to go along with the doors when we expanded the garage/workshop. The bigger door is so wide (19') that aluminum doors were bending in the wind. The wood doors spring back a little better. I takes the better part of a week to get them looking like that, every five years. I wanted them to match the cabinetry in the garage and the kitchen. I think it's worth it.

Front of the car is at about 180mm, technically the 'correct' ride height for the car. It needs almost all of that to painlessly get into and out of the driveway sometimes. The shared road here slopes opposite the slope on the driveway, so there's a bit of mismatch where they meet.

Forgive me guys; I just couldn't resist. I would say that I'm the one on the left, but he probably knows more.

Wow what a beautiful car!

I love those colors. I tried to buy a very similar 86.5 (with a black dash and 20k more miles) but someone beat me to it.

Shaynes -- Awesome interior on your restored shark! I love the monochrome interiors best of all.

Here's a pic of Bigmac's Marine Blue supple leather, again from the pro shots taken by Winding Road:

Default Valley Varmints

I've had some practice removing the intake from the S4 recently so I figured I'd R&R the GT intake while the procedure was fresh in my brain. Looks like there were residents in the valley at some time in the past.

Wow, Mike...if an eviction of unwelcome tenants is the only varmint-related R&R thing you had to do, you're lucky. They really like wire insulation for some reason.
