Kevin’s Headlight Issue
Friend Kevin — you’ve met him before — is having trouble tracking down an electrical gremlin related to his 951’s headlights. Here is a video he put together on the matter, followed by the ongoing discussion on Rennlist.

Reducing the Redundancy, Phase One
Before
Phase One: Removal of the offending plastic-fantastic redundant rear reflector …
Don’t know why I didn’t do this long ago; I’ve pretty much hated it from day one but other priorities just seemed to creep in. Involved unpopping the rear carpet, exposing and removing four phillips-headed screws, then prying the reflector itself out.
Predictably, this simple effort caused my errant back to seize up, so it will take a day or two of recovery before returning to phase two (filling the four bolt holes in the rear panel and those now accommodating the license plate on the bumper) and phase three (remounting the plate where Dog, or God, intended it in the first place.
Saturday Run
Joining Kevin and C.J., we cover some 109 miles in a back road trip over the mountain pass, lucky to get in a run before nasty Pacific Northwest weather sets in …

The Blakemobile
Talk about off-topic … For awhile my wife and I have been watching the Australian series on public television (via BBC), “The Doctor Blake Mysteries”, set in the 1950s. The good doctor drives a vehicle I could not for the life of me identify. Usually I can work these out, or get pretty close, without resorting to the Internets, but not so this time. Turns out that his car is a modified 1930s-era Coventry Standard with more modern Holden running gear. See an explanation here. And here’s more about the Standard Motor Company.
