I was on 434 from Mitchell Hammock to Waterford on Thursday, Friday, and Monday. Unfortunately, I should be in North Carolina by th time Rolex rolls around.

Todd, how is VA? I should be up there not too far from you in a couple of weeks.

Cheeziz... they start earlier every year!!!

I'm there... assuming I can get this blessed steering wheel re-stitched by then!!!

(I got an Alan Gun steering wheel cover for Chrizzmuss, and I'm about a quarter of the way through stitching it on... it takes forever to do it neatly and factory-perfect... However, I do have to say that it's the absolutely finest quality that I've ever seen, so it's definately worth doing right!

Aye, it was a grand, grand day for racn' mates. Wished you all could have come out.
Next one is Sunday Feb 3nd.

I bet it was really cool. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending upon your position, I start the relocation to western NC on Wednesday. I'm keeping the house down here though so I may still be able to join you guys on occasion.
Keith, that wheel cover sounds very nice - any pics?

I promise to get my car in presentable condition to make one of these things. I'm moving to Orlando next fall. By then I should have a new interior and new engine, plus a little body work. It's gonna be a LLLOOOOONNNNNGGGGG year!

HaHa! I was Fourth overall at the autox last Sunday! Autocross - Conspiracy at the Autocross - January 6, 2008.

Seriously, you guys need to start coming out to these events.

For you... soy-tinley!!!

Here's a close-up of the rim stitching:


...and a (slightly-out-of-focus) shot of a spoke transisiton:


-I'm waiting for some more thread to finish the last few inches off.... that and the fact that I spent all weekend in bed with a cold conspired to doom my autocross plans for last Saturday... -Grrrrr!!!

I'll post pics of the completed thing when it's installed back in the car, airbag and all. -The kit is EXCEPTIONAL quality, and I'm knocked out by it. -It does take rather a bit of patience to stitch it all up nicely, but the quality actually surpasses that of the original Porsche leather wheel, by some considerable margin. -The thread which Alan supplies 'beds-in' to the leather, and sits 'down' in the surface, and it has a nice tensile strength. -The original Porsche thread was thicker, sits "above" the surface of the old (by now somewhat harder, and thinner) leather, and -while nice- is simply NOT as nice as the Alan Gun replacement... I'd recommend it to ANYONE.
