Re: French 1978 928 5 speed: rolling resto

Well, yes I still have it and drive it. Its funny being back on DDK and looking back to that time, it was an amazing trip but all was not well that year, possibly in the noggin department. It reads as a moment of madness to me. Maybe Jason was right, maybe I did have a screw loose. I was burning out...

Re: Your Porsche pic of the day......

^^ That is Bill Drysdale's scratch built 904. He takes an off road route on the hillclimbs too.

The story of the car is in this newsletter a few pages down. As they say, he's some boy.

Funny Mike, I don't remember you meeting my ex-wife.

Anyway, here's a 41 year old 928, not having any problems.

Re: Bespoke funnels

Great idea, good skills CAD man! I’d like one please, will PM.

All its missing is branding, a brand name on a little red oval sticker. Like ‘9funnel’ or ‘G-funnel’, or ‘Das Oltrichter’ or something :-)

Re: Used 2-in back box for SC on SSI’s

Hi Raymond, thanks, does it have national championship provenance? LOL.
It is probably a bit loud, and I'll need to cut my valence of course for 2 outs or get fiberglass - can I let you know?
I'll whatsapp you anyway, cheers

Used 2-in back box for SC on SSI’s

Having done a deal on a used set of SSIs from Herr Mallagh, I am now in the market for a suitably frugal back box to match.

1 out preferred but 2 out considered. Cheers :)
