That Jäger CSL is hot shit.
Very cool.
Yo Maz, is that your GSF paint last page? Looks cool if so.
Saw something I thought you might like today.Attachment 420882Quote:

I think it's been around for a while, it swapped the lead with the Rabbit for the entire race with the Rabbit eventually winning, fastest Rabbit I've ever seen.Quote:

Nice shots refried. Nothing looks more classic than a set of Panasports on a little vintage Jap or Brit car.
Sitting outside with my kids in Bennington this evening and I spy down the block a late 80’s 240 that was obviously not your average bear- lights, stance and wheels dictating something out of the ordinary- light turned green and it flew up the block ripping through the gears making the most wonderful sound - v8 swapped - heat was turned up in that mill - goddamn that was pleasing..

Unfortunately I didn't have my phone, but walking el perro past our local HS this Sunday there was apparently a car show. Dudes just rolling in on some crazy cars. What was even more crazy is the the McLarens and regular Porsches like the GT3's didn't even stand out.
There was one of these in grey:

and a real one of these in the same blue,

and not quite as expensive but my favorite 'cause I'd never seen one before, and in the same red

That's awesome. No one ever suspects the 240 lol.Quote:

Fiat 131 Abarth. Had to look that one up. Saw a CGT sitting outside the service center of the local dealership a few months back. Dirty, rock chips, had a 'ring sticker in the window. Wouldn't surprise me if it was shipped over there based on how it looked. Lots of fun had behind the wheel of that one. I like the narrow body Cobras as much as the wide bodies for different reasons.
I had to ask what it was too. Apparently there are only a few in the US. They made 400 for rally homogulation.Quote:

In the words of that other thread, "someone should do something".
And in Peoples Party Red too. We need to get Bobby on this.
We're sure this isn't another Landwind creation?
I was driving in Jupiter Fl once and saw an old man in a Porsche Carrera GT with a flat tire on the side of the road. I slammed on the brakes to help him. Turned out it just needed air, so I helped him because he could not bend over. Afterwards he tells me he owned an nba team and tossed me the keys. I drove it around the block. Pretty cool dude.Quote:

That's a crazy story.
Did you blow into it like a pool floatie to get it filled up?
That 131 is so cool.
No, took it to a gas station. Guy said he owned like 12 homes and this car had been sitting for a yr. I really wish I’d followed up with him. He was asking me all kinds of questions about my business etc. old timer was near his end.Quote:

Taking a lap in a Carrera GT with poorly cared for tires, what could go wrong?
