On another note, I am convinced that Mooty is an imaginary/fictional Rennlist character constructed and advanced by the lot of you to make me think there is a Bay Area Porsche owner that cool, illiterate, fast, wacky, etc. and to generally screw with my head. Larry Cable I've met. I've even met VR, Colm, and Carrera GT. But Mooty? Nope, and I've even gotten PMs from him.

Nice job...you guys really had me going.

Don't worry, Alex will be along any minute now to right the ship.

See? It was just another carefully crafted way to make him look good. There's always a subtext on RL.

OK here I am guys...

What did I miss? Mooty? He's like the second coming of Elvis.

As in any discipline there are always the standouts, but few tuners have been as impressive and as pleasurable to work with as SW, and, specifically, Alex. I suppose Dan and James are good fun to hang around, as well, as long as no Honda Insights with blown trunk struts are involved.

The fact these 300,00-mile-Camry-building-goofballs only occasionally advertise in the magazine only serves to underline my admiration for their work. The 3.9 flat blew me away despite my initial skepticism at the power claims, and held up surprisingly well against the also stunning factory 4.0. To see a company then also get this kind of props on its customer experience, as well, is just plain cool.

LOL Insights.... "Off with his head" comes to mind Danke very much and RL is certainly a collection of the funky bunch? I mean who knew that some auto journalists actually _D_R_O_V_E_ cars and tested!? Keeps the Porsche folks on our toes which is such a good thing. Keep that side of the flag raised high!

OK I had better go back to surfing...

See, Minoclan, he just had to go find a picture of his 996 Turbo.

And dayumn, that thing isn't doing well these days. Looks about like it sounded when I drove it in Vegas.

ROFL I upgraded the suspension from 1200 pound springs on Triple Adjustable JRZ's back to stock I figured black was hard to take care of so I let the paint go a little...
