A Past in Paris (1983, Remembering Bill)

Bill, R.I.P. (automotive version)

A Hideous Thing, This Weather
Nearly got stuck in the storage lot driveway (Yokohama summer performance tires). After much difficulty getting the ‘Rascal to start at all. Warmed it up, tucked it back in bed. Eleven degrees F., today’s high temp. My next vehicle, if I … Continue reading

Here is a video he put together on the matter, followed by the ongoing discussion on Rennlist. http://rennlist.com/forums/944-turbo-and-turbo-s-forum/904215-short-blowing-23-fuse-headlight.html

Hacking a Vette
There’s something — much — to be said for building and driving older cars that are not susceptible to modern electronica. To be honest, I am not entirely comfortable with the fact that my 944 has as much electronic and … Continue reading
