Default Timeless and beautiful....

.....some things just don't age.

As some here know, my focus has been on my 911 engine the last few months. So much so, that the 928 had been driven in the rain, and put up wet. She hadn't been washed in 4 weeks, a new record. So, as she approaches 60,000 miles this week or next, and the fact that we were in the mid-60's yesterday, I broke out the sponge and soap.

Had her in front of the house, and she was positively radiant in the afternoon sun here:

Actually, I'm not. But, I sympathize with you. Our weather is all over the map these days. I was driving my Targa without its top in 29 degree weather Saturday morning (probably warm by Canadian standards), then we were nice yesterday. Back to a high on 41 tomorrow with 25mph North winds....

Can you believe that some of our crew slept in the other morning and didn't attend a Porsche GTG? I hexed them with many bad weather weekends.

A record to not get washed in 4 weeks? My car tells me that she is jealous and wants to come and live with you.
