Default Shout out to Kevin@UMW

Kevin - car is just running incredible. Thanks for all your help over the winter and turning my kids 529 plans into trackable 996TT

Was at Autobahn CC on Monday and the car is just hooked up. Thanks for the suspension advice, new clutch and flash...car just rips. Send me a decal when you get them made and I will gladly put it in my window.

Couple of pics





















I can't take credit for taking this picture - mine look like a$$ - his is quite nice..

Kevin is the real deal, no doubt... My Car has had his K16/24s since the second year after it was bought new (2001) and is running great!

Guys, I need to launch a Tshirt, Hat's and decal line..

If anyone is good at designing a distinct catchy logo please email it to me (I'll make it worth your while)

It would be a nice project.

I need to have Ultimate Motorwerks spelled out.

Email me...

Hey, that's my Arena Red 993TT (car # 601)! That was my very first DE event (was in the Novice run group). What a blast. I had a great instructor. Got signed-off to drive solo for my 3rd and 4th run. I asked for the instructor to stay with me for the 3rd run, though. But, I did solo on the last (4th) run.

Met a lot of great guys that day. The owner of the black GT2 was a very nice & cool guy. Also in the novice run group.

If you look real hard, you can see Kevin's check-valves and enhanced turbos.

Nice license plate - 'NO HTWO 0'

Will you be going back to Autobahn July 9th?

That was one of the best track days I have had in while - I'll make a point to introduce myself to you next time.

Thanks. I like my plate too. The State almost did not allow me to get this plate. They said law enforcement would not know if the last diget was a letter "O" or the number "0". I explained to 2 differnt people down in the Springfield office what the plate meant, plus I followed the vanilty plate rules 100%, and they agreed to let me have the plate.

I don't know if I will do any more DE's. I just wanted to do a couple in the Turbo to learn & respect the car's power and handeling, and to be a better and safer driver.

This is my first 911. I have driven my Boxster since new in 2006.

Hope to meet you some day.

He is going to kill me for posting these, but here are a couple of shot (same cars) just much better quality. The photographer is Anil Bouri
