Thanks in advance!

Early 911 and G body Targa roof racks were available in period. Rare. Last one I saw for sale was in 2013.

Went the fabrication route and get more use out of Targa. Mountings/cross bars are based on early 911 ski rack. Rack itself is based on early 911 safari rack. Also has metal wind deflector. Then powdercoated to match no-chrome G body. Race shop, who has prepped my other cars, typically only does race cars; so likely one-off.

Hope you heal quickly

Maybe it would be prudent to ride a Peloton with some VR goggles for a month to let your whole body heal? You'll be closer to the coffee and chocolate, so that's a plus.

well MRI shows no soft tissue damage. but all I can do is sit around and eat …..


I prefer climbs
the agony of pain
the sound of mando-pop
the rhythmical beat of the heart
the peacefulness of the greenery (until i kiss the pavement)
the image of the food after

cycling is zen


I tried driving lol fkg Porsche key on left side. I can’t be get key in ignition. oh well.

I often toy with the idea of getting back into biking, especially mountain biking, until I read your injury posts and then its back to the stationary bike for a short ride...not nearly as exciting but much less chance of broken bones, road rash, etc.

Mooty is turning into a cyborg. Pretty sure most humans would be dead already.

I agree with Dream Carrera based on observing the Mooty injuries, you gotta allocate at least 2 major falls a year.

Cool breakfast tray and place mat
Luv the fresh flower!
Looks like it could be a warm up to Fathers Day

Had a nice ride this morning. New suspension makes ALL the difference.
