'Afraid of high revs' is a little ridiculous, try 'not wanting to blow up your engine' is a more accurate statement.

Not as long as I have 3 stations with 3/4 mile of my house that sell 100 and 110 octane.


Really want to see the dyno charts on the new Promax and the RacerX before I make any decisons.

yeah yeah yeah - we went through that already - i'll do the best i can to convert the files and post the new ones

on the gas - i'm with you - doing that now - adding 5 gallons of 100 to every tank to give me 93 - works great - a drag on long road trips sometimes, but that's also why i wanted to know what the chips did on 91, since that is real life in a lot of places - i ran through texas when i brought my car home and the best i could find was 90 at one point

something to think about for sure

Well, whatever chip comes out as the best, we had a great time installing them!

Close encounters of the 968 kind -we came across this white 968 Tip close to Pitou's house:

Wow...great pictures Luis. Thanks for posting.

The other day we did another excursion....and send a 924 in the siderails.......minor damage.......but it proves how strong those cars are.

Damian, for fino you have to go way south, here we can offer you cava and calcots....

I know! As you said, I think he came down that hill too fast and his brakes just locked. Fortunately it wasn't serious and I'm especially glad that he didn't ram into Jordi's car...

I really enjoyed the sidewalk cafe in St. Feliu. Great sunshine! The road to get there was amazing. Full of really tight esses and great changes in gradient. We must do that again sometime.

Damian, it would be great if you could join us on one of these outings. The scenery is always surprising. Here are some pics I took right before our last one. No scenery here but note that there's a (gasp) 964 with us too!







BTW, the other day there was a silver on black 968 cabrio parked at a shop by my house for repairs. We've been seeing a red one for some time but this must be the only silver one in Barcelona.

Luis, Tobias, since I've met up twice with the UK guys a Barcelona visit should be next. The next time I'm in Europe will be the first week of April, in Basel-let me see if I can free up some time on the back end of that trip.

That would be great, if you can come and visit....a little international 968 conference...
I'm gone from the 3rd to the 8th, so hopefully you can come after (or before)
