I had that 2 page magazine ad matted and framed and hung it in my fooseball room.

 

stuck in the jeep for a couple days.....snow+951=garage queen for a while....

i still really need to find another tranny for my XJ.

 

I never noticed it before, but at the end it says "Porsche does not recommend exceeding any speed limits"...hmmm...lol.

Guess their first mistake was building a sports car. Second mistake, selling one to me.

 

The last few weeks have been pretty cold here in Atlanta, definitely suffering from 951 wrench withdrawal.

it took me all of the first 600 feet of my test drive to do that

 

Just remember – there are no speed limits at the track! Driver’s Ed events are a great way to enjoy your car…..in fact in some circumstances, like when at a Performance Racing Trade show, you can even enjoy driving a rental car at the track….at night….while your 951 sleeps at home!
http://www.photoreflect.com/store/Or...12&po=12&pc=29 photo #13 is my favorite….a little air under the left front…..and the drivers face is conveniently dark…….


The other Volvo pilots (co-conspirators?) shall remain nameless….but we all had serious fun and the locals started to refer to us as the ‘glowing rotors guys’!

PS – don’t try this at home…..go to another state!

 

Right you are Chris. But sometimes... I don't think there are speed limits on some back country roads that no one drives on either...

 

I gotta admit i actually enjoy driving my XJ that i still go on random drives with it. Hoping for some decent snow when i get home again as this will be my first winter actually driving a snow capable vehicle. I dont think the year i drove my 951 with snow tires on counts .

Jeep is all set for the foul weather. New 30x9.5's, Hella fogs and e-codes. Also a new recovery hitch and strap for the inevitable pull outs my friends will need.

 

you should put a budget-boost on that thing Techno. the wj i'm driving now is way too plush....sorta boring actually. I miss the hum on the super swampers down the road and the torque curve of my stroker.....


really need to find a trans now...

 

Ideally I’d have mine parked too, but the winter beater is beat so… the last good cleaning until I run down to ATL for Christmas.

 

those just amber bulbs in your fogs? look pretty neat!

 

hey hey hey hey hey

why the US spec bumper on a ROW'ish car??

Looks great btw.

 

Thanks Doug! Well for the longest time I tried to pick up a Euro rear bumper from UK eBay, but no one would ship it over. I ended up with an IFC version w/o the rubber strip. It’s painted and will go on this spring. As for the front, I filled the side markers and head light washer holes then gave it to the shop that straitened and filled the rear quarters.




Thanks and no I used 20mil Lamin-x Yellow film over the fog section after covering the complete lens with their 40mil clear. So it looks yellow with the fogs off too. I like how it breaks up the long lens housing and IMHO looks best with the clear turn lenses. Unfortunatly you can see it’s pulling away mostly because I didn’t use a heat gun during application. I’ll be trying a yellow tint film next.

OBTW, my car is a rolling salt lick now.

 

My '86 is now a rolling salt lick despite dry roads for the last few days and as I've discovered driving around in the sub-freezing temps, the t-stat isn't opening up properly.

 

I love the 3rd shot with all the white, looks like a nice christmas present : )
