There is only ONE right way to make a 25-30 year old car "reliable" and it involves changing out a LOT OF parts. Anything less is a crap shoot.....Do you feel lucky Punk ?

Maybe the next Gurney or Granatelli in the making? Helluva a school you're running there, Greg. What's the boy doing next summer... maybe some NorCal, surf chicks, more old 928's?

Love all the info. Maybe see if your camera has a macro setting. If its a cannon its the setting that looks like a tulip.

Truthfully, my son is the "anti gearhead". He can't drive a stick, mind you. I'm thrilled that he has dug in here and is working on this car...it is a first. He's gone to not knowing what anything is to cussing at the A/C compressor when he hits his head on it, walking under the car.

I don't want him to be a mechanic...but I'd like him to be able to add his own oil.

It's a Sony...and has the tulip. Macro is about 12 inches...

Funny story there. My son's computer runs Windows 7. The camera is 2003 vintage. Windows 7 can't download this camera....no driver. Sony doesn't have the driver either. How crazy is that? You can't recover data from a 7 year old device on a current computer!

About time for a Mac.

The half life of most electronic gizmos is about a year.....so a seven year old is a lot like a 27 year old 928

Canon did the same thing with the optura video camera.
It worked with XP.
But I upgraded to get more memory to a new computer with Vista.
Everybody blamed Vista. But it was Canon that decided not to write the interface, forcing obsolescence.

So we went to a MAC for this and other Vista reasons.

Its great.

Except Canon decided not to write the optura interface for MAC, either.

F#$%^ all electrons and the crap that runs em....I feel like my whole life is absorbed by trying to get some damn device to work with another, or work AT ALL....
Gimme back my carburetors! Lol...

You mean Webers,right?

Says the guy with a 5 axis machine, as big as my house, that probably can't move anything, unless the computer is turned on....

Doh!

On the camera-
You may wish to try downloading the XP version of that driver. It *may* work. It also probably won't, but don't take no for an answer in computers the very first time.
