LOL..this is the best response from the fashion thread. Absolutely the best. I teared up...hahahaha

Once thoroughly toweled I stand before my early 18th century Philadelphia Highboy and select a bespoke shirt, light starch, in a Belgian linen from the gentleman at Needle & Gristle. Pants are Japanese selvage denim, only washed with tears from a carp then frozen for 20 hours. This is done fortnightly.

Footwear is original Senna race-worn boots acquired in a poker match with the piloti himself nearby the old Dutch Grand Prix track at Zandevort.

By this point I usually need a nap so I forgive going for a spirited romp and retire to my Hastens bed.

Holy cow. The watch and 996 pics threads were hilarious. Thank you.

The Brian Williams pic with the "So there I was with John Ireland" was AWESOME!

Following 997 GT3.mov - YouTube

I'll throw in the "when it all goes to hell" clip since it shows the other way--versus a Spec 911 (with a totally situationally unaware driver) that's ~250HP but 2400 lbs.

It appears that if the GT3 had let you buy he might have been faster trying to keep up with you rather than blocking you. Why didn't he let you by?
