Default Trip To Fabspeed

So I met a friend yesterday and made a run to Fabspeed. He has a Cayman R and had a full race exhaust system installed and we ended the day with a little video footage. Cool operation and the owner Joe gave me a tour and explained all the details on their 993 parts. Great group of guys that are passionate about cars. Here is the video.....not sure how to embed so just a link.......

Great sound clip! Nice pics of the 993's. Glad your skirts are on Cactus.

Nice! I went there several years ago to and got a nice tour also. He showed me cut-away versions of stock vs. sport cats - very interesting. Bought my bypass pipes, stuffed them in my carry-on and barely got them through airport security!

BTW love the cab in the pic.

Looked like a great day for a drive!

As for embedding a video from youtube - I find it easiest to just right click and copy the address in the navigation bar. It would look like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERzAg...ature=youtu.be

Then you just need everything after the first = sign:

ERzAgUuLv70&feature=youtu.be

then you just have to put a [ y t ] in front and a [ / y t ] at the end (just make sure there are no spaces in between the the brakets and the yt letters - I had to do it that way otherwise it would think I was trying to post a video).

with spaces between the y and t it would look like this:

[ y t ]ERzAgUuLv70&feature=youtu.be[ / y t ]

without spaces it looks like this:

Great vid and nice pics. I've always loved their grey 993 Cab with the RH wheels. Loverly. The red thing in the video ain't too shabby either.

I always have my eye on the Cayman R. It would make the best daily I believe.....until it snows of course.

Your car is looking awesome as usual Cactus. The exhaust on the Cayman R sounds great.

Thank your for stopping by Ryan, it was a pleasure meeting you and your 993 C2 is my dream car. I was going to put the video together today, but I couldn't resist when we came back on Friday from shooting. The C2 looks outstanding in the video and even better in person. I will see you on Saturday at Hershey (if the rain holds off).
