Yes, Rob and team are busy 'tweaking' the suspension, intake management and exhaust to bring the car to it's potential. I asked if they needed a 'Tester' between takes ....

Sadly, some of us remember when those black plates would have been on nearly all of the cars in the shop...........
(Sorry, I'm in the minority that can't get his head around over-the-top torsion bar chassis cars. Life's moved on, and in my old age power steering and a cushy ride that can still outperform the old platform in a package I can still work on wins.)

More discussion:
I actually called them about the clock. They won't sell them separately...shame.
I wonder who did it, Hollywood?
Someone investigate and let's do a Rennlist group buy!
More discussion on Reuben's 2009 "Cool TAG clock" thread:
Any ideas where one could buy this? I've emailed TAG, but no help from customer service. I really fancy one of these for my 993...
USD 2,500 via Singer. GB anyone???
It's a completely custom made chronograph movement in a 911 clock housing made exclusively for Singer, hence the high option price in the catalog. Apparently the prototype which you see cost a whole lot more than the option price due to the tooling & pattern making costs.....

That burnt orange Singer 991 is droolworthy.
That black chin spoiler reminds me of the one I had on my Mk1 GTI.... the car I miss the most.
Not sure about the Kermit version, but then I'm not a fan of Green. Would love to see a Riv Blue or Mex Blue finish......

Well ... I love it too, but I was told by the owner of the shop that is working on the green car that this car, being the first prototype, is what they are stripping down and using as the basis for the white car, number 003. I guess in the end, it had served it's purpose and was lacking in many of the engineering refinements that resulted from it's hard work as a test bed. I've heard, from the people who were lucky enough to have seen it in person or better yet, had driven it, that it was "pretty rough", but you know, I'm a sucker for a good pole dancer and I sure as heck wouldn't kick that car out of my garage for dripping a little oil here and there. I would have gladly taken her in as a toss off, warts and all ....
