Default Photos from the track a few years ago

Here are some photos from Hallett a few years ago when I had my 997S.

I think Jonathon is showing us how he's seen the light now and come away from the Dark (yet a little gay) side. lol
He's got some nice builds going on so don't worry too much.

Hey J, nice car and I'm digging the blue 3M Painters tape too! I was at Hallett one time, and we did the track in a reverse direction, it was a short track but a blast.

I have owned just about every model Porsche (never a 928) from the 80's on up. I always end up back with a 951. However, I drove the 997S with PDK last weekend and I can tell you, it is 1 awesome machine.

I crashed a buddies 996 a few months after these photos were taken and had to pay out of pocket to repair it. I sold the V10 TDI Touareg and 997 to overcome this set back.

Just going through some old pictures and came across these. Thought some might enjoy.

Yes, I have seen the light. However, it was not a boxster, so it was not gay.

Track was 5 hours away and it had R6's mounted. Tools, tires, luggage, other guys stuff and the Touareg got 18 MPG at 80mph pulling the car. And..... stuff like this happens.

Before.....


After

The Touareg was the V10 TDI, and was awesome. I had an early V8 and it did have problems. I would by another V10 TDI in a heartbeat.
