This was in his S3 OB with S spoilers and a 32V stroker.

How's that??

Paging Mr. Kibort....

and you can see where that got him??

proud devek days participant, test racer of the "white car" and demo mule, enging bulder student graduate, and not to forget, 928 cheerleader.

Yeah, I've got a DEVEK Days photo somewhere taken from a rooftop looking down on all our cars lined up to create a big "20" for the 928's 20th anniversary in 1998.

That's freaking great. Added to the list.
Actually Jay Kempf was the originator of the OB term. It stands for Old Bugger and not Old Bastard and applies to the 78-79 cars. Jay owns a 79.

Yes, I know, your humor lobe must be missing.

Gezus you guys are entirely too uptight about the OB, so henceforth, all OB's pre-78 will be referred to as DGJs (Dan, Glens, and James) since you left those out.

Ahh yes, I've been to DEVEK Days. In 2001, one year after I got my GT, I drove from Phoenix and was halfway between L.A. and San Francisco when my LH brain went out. Marc Thomas was gracious enough to leave the Friday evening DEVEK Days welcome reception and drive down to Kettleman City at 1:30 in the morning with a spare LH (compliments of Louie Ott) to save me. We made it back to San Francisco at 4:30 am Saturday morning. I was a bit fuzzy for the days activities and I'm sure Marc was too, but had a great time.

I have much respect and appreciation for what Marc did. And those DEVEK catalogs with all those cool parts for 928's were leading edge at the time.

True! The other Big Two were doing stock parts and they had the cool stuff. Carl has really picked up the role of providing custom parts.

I see now. You think you're being "funny" by trolling. Only trolls find trolls to be funny.

You will get over it, I'm sure.
