Ugh, I get to spend my Friday night driving to Dallas. Going to try to iron out the brakes on the car, work on the carpet, clean it up a bit. Might need a beer on Saturday sometime...hint hint.

I'm on the next plane back to TX, and none to soon. Last night I was getting the boom-chick-a-mowmow look from the hookers near my hotel. One of them made the mistake of standing near a Sodium Vapor street light.
Maybe you should spent a "Few thou and $75" to get a better hotel? Or, maybe you needed the $75 for "something else"?

The car is up on stands and the engine support is in place ready to attempt to replace the oil pan gasket seal in the morning. I've also just opened up the first bottle of Arrogant Bastard so it could be a late morning.

I'm sure the 928 crowd could give a F$%, but Ruby has her new heels shipping next week. Forged 17" reproduction goodness:

The days of fitting 16" Fuchs on the ol' girl went away when I went to 4 piston calipers all around. The cast 17" junkers weren't an option. We now have Fuchs repros available in 17" diameter that are state of the art. They are priced in new Fikse or Kinesis territory, but worth every penny IMO.

Jason, yes you can, on my 'wagon wheels' I got 3 in the back and one on the front seat as was said earlier.

As for what I'm working on.........oh lord, what am I not working on is a better question.

Ed, those look fantastic.
