I am also the only road cyclist in the work who doesnt drink espresso
so my friends nag me all the time.
beginning of this year WRU, SpyerX and Chris F badgered me to get a machine and said they will teach me
so I bought a machine
little do they know.... that led to me buying **** load of accessories and I started play with milk....

circle had some. So did experience center both fairly recently.
warning they look ok but not great cups. I mean they are good cups but not for proper espresso. Too narrow and tall.
best espresso and capp cups are made by not neutral or ipa

not neutral is fine.

IPA makes many of the commercial cups you find in Italy. Heavy proper shaped porcelain.

After 997.1 GT3, the. 997.1 3RS, loved the 997.2 GT3 for DD and a couple of 7.2 3RS for track, went to 991.1 3RS (5% track was amazing, 20% canyon roads was good, but 75% of everything else was boring) and then 991.2 GT3 manual (loved the car, front bumper lines fixed from 991.1, gearbox smooth, clutch too soft, interior great over 997, but the driving connectivity at the limit was missing because the car is much more competent).

Went with 997.1 GT2 to explore. Loved it in all respects. And after CGT (if you can, then you must), went back to 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8 earlier this year. I forgot how awesome this car was! Now have 997.2 GT2 RS en route.

For he flappy paddle rocketship, went with a McLaren 765LT. If this doesn't work out, back to awesomely competent new latest and greatest 992 2RS for replacement. Porsche's reliability and value proposition is unparalleled. But I feel new cars lacking the magic of the 997 GT cars.

Thanks for the info on the Expresso cups guys. Just a neat novelty to have. Wru, I’ll wash them by hand. Lol.

You really think I’m interested in a pic of your “RS” or more supposed parts thereof at this point? Lol. That ship sailed long ago.

Pretty much spot on. 991.2 RS was so competent there was no more room for the driver. Like a modern weapon system. Fire and forget.

997.2RS requires driver to bring out its best. Team work required.

You hurdled that learning curve pretty quick. I'm still using a stick to make designs. lol

You're never going to figure this guy out because every single thread is about flexing and speculation. This subform is beginning to become something I want no part of. I just want to build my car and drive it. Maintain it and drive it. Modify it and drive it. I want to be able to reach out and ask intelligent technical GT3 related questions and get intelligent answers. What I don't want is to watch my fellow members flexing and one upping each other. I see a member verbally attacking another member with name calling which has no place here. I mean who resorts to that type of behavior.

Whatever the case is, we need something like Tom's build thread to get us back on track. Hurry up Tom and get another project. Save us from ourselves. LOL

Now back to GT3's. I did my first mod the other day. Half way done so the difference can be compared. I changed out my tails to all red. Hope you enjoy the pic.
