Default Singer sighting

Small world! I just happened to run into Rob Dickinson as he was delivering a car on the East Coast. Stunning car (of course), but I was more moved by how nice the guy is. He even took the time to look over my car and loved the mods.

That is pretty cool, maybe some day I will have enough money to have mine made into a singer.

That's really cool! What are the odds?

Would love to see the Singer up close. Was the buyer there, taking delivery?

What a surprise to see him for sure.

The owner wasn't around, but other potential customers were looking at the car. I joked with the group that my car felt threatened (she likes herself just the way she is) and that she wasn't for sale. He laughed about that one.

The fenders, wheels, are stance are just perfect in person. The colors, details and materials too. Old school looking Porsche poem for sure.

Btw, no one saw the Carrera GT in the second photo? What a howl that car makes.... And the sight of two old 911s chasing it through town will live with me for a long time.

Trying all of this by phone. Clunky, but working...

Very cool! I saw the New York car on the highway outside of Baltimore. Wish I could have seen it up close.

I forgot to add this video. Of course the Singer sounded great... but you sure do know when a V10 starts up...

It's a little Baby Turbo love. Plus I like the view out the windshield better.
(Removed the passenger wiper, and removed the wiper relay - 5 minute mod)
