Jake keeps thinking of ways to take my money....

IMS bearings, hands on classes and DVD series. He knows I have several 914’s so now he’s going after my 914 money

She's way too smart to run this place, plus I can only imagine the caliber of Porsche owner that she'd work with that far in the future. It's bad enough now!
It's my goal to teach her about how things work, and to teach her something new everyday. She doesn't sit around and play with devices, she has go karts, dirt bikes, tanks, and guns. She even knows how to properly load ammunition.

Ava can load a proper 458 Socom round, but she still takes time to play with her Barbies, too..

That is awesome. I'm a firm believer that all kids (boys and girls) should know how to handle and shoot firearms safely. Reloading knowledge is a bonus!

She's had her firearms safety rules memorized since the age of 3 when she got her first rifle. Today she is a crack shot, and getting better.

She even had a part in developing the Driven GP-1 engine oil, using it for some of her Jr. Dragster development work.

She is lucky to have a Dad such as you. You are lucky to have a daughter such as her. It is so nice that you have the opportunity to spend time with her. She needs her Dad!

Absolutely.. After she does her homework its off to the shop where we work on something new everyday.. Today we are working on our VW LT40 4x4 Overland Camper conversion. This used to be an Austrian firetruck that I imported last year, and it has gone though a crazy transformation. We camped in it last Thursday, after fitting the rooftop tent.. It was 26 degrees outside, and we had ice on the inside of the tent. She's tough as nails! You'd never guess that she was born with a birth defect, and had surgery at 2 days old. We are blessed, and thankful!

While I understand the convenience of streaming, but when it comes to purchasing an exclusive series, I want it on a disc format. I can't tell you how many times I've sat down to watch a video and can't remember my password to authenticate or my streaming connection is wonky. Discs are more reliable and now that we've already seen territorial limitations with Amazon, I think people will find purchasing the DVD box set will be less problematic.

I just talked to The Knowledge Gruppe:

The DVDs are shipped, and will arrive at the distribution facility tomorrow, January 7th. They will then ship a chunk of them to both LN, and Pelican, as well as Amazon and at the store on www.theknowledgegruppe.com.

With these being received, they have decided to have an official release date of 1.20.20 for orders to go live.

The videos will not be available directly from Flat 6. We have no employees to handle these types of sales. The only thing we have to sell you, is a complete engine. The official resellers are LN, Pelican, and Amazon, with the videos presented directly by The Knowledge Gruppe. All resellers will have the same retail prices, across the board.

Awesome!
Looking forward to 1/20.

My Internet was down the other day.
That made me glad that I'd decided to buy the DVDs.
No Internet and I can still watch the DVDs!
