Wow, I thought if someone wanted to hide that they didn't buy the turbo version, that they'd just cover the trunk badge over and that's it.
I've heard of "ratting up" a ride, but the cars are usually 40-50 years old.

Saw (and heard) a Carrera GT at Calabogie last Tues/Wed. Being passed on the Road to Temptation and hearing it downshift was terrific. I did get to hear passes frequently on other track sections...what a wonderful car with a very approachable owner.

I was in Ottawa over the weekend, spotted a RUF CTR, no. 12 of 29 at a small concours event that I stumbled upon. Spoke with the owner for awhile and really enjoyed talking with him about the car, what a fantastic machine!

Check out this new Macademia Turbo Cab I spotted around Bloor West Village on Sat. Wasn't too crazy about the new Fuchs wheels, though.

Nice spot, interesting colour! I agree about the modern Fuchs though... doesn't work with the Turbo, at least not in that colour.

Don't get me wrong, I love the modern Fuchs... I just think they look better when there is more contrast (or no contrast) between the colour of the car and the colour of the wheels. A personal opinion of course! I've yet to see them in person...
