nice one I saw it was the rev counter, perhaps we could have a few more of these pics from members to keep us on our toes. All good fun.

Any way here is my wood wheel very happy to have finally got one, organised cool.

Yeap, people fit these on 911/12s as they are smaller and hence give you a little more room.
