In between jobs on the 911 so fitted a set of Cobra Imola Pros to my 968.Had never seen an Amaranth car with body coloured buckets but I think they look pretty good,and not too heavy at 7.8kg eack.

Took the car down to the good folk at Marque 21 in Bridport. Hit the back roads. Lots of noise. Bliss.

Got some nice shots by Lac Des Gailland in Chamonix. Beautiful day, and some good snow up top.

Love that shot over the steering wheel. Chamonix one of the best places on earth. Such a beautiful valley. Was there a couple of weeks ago, now those shots inspiring me to take the car there some day :)

Willbrown - if you get the car to Chamonix, you'll have to let me know. There is a Classic car run around Mont Blanc in the Autumn that I'm hoping to take part in.

I can recommend the alpine roads in a Targa.

Left4dead - would be great to see the pics in a calendar. :)

How many holes did you drill today ?

Post by amallagh »

I thought I'd spend a few hours drilling some holes today. Did 2 full sets (8 brackets) with about 650 holes in all !
Thought it would take a few hours. 10 solid hours later !! and 320 grams lighter (per set) !!
That has to be the most costly weight loss imaginable. At least they look quite cool !?
My advice is get someone else to do this for you !! or if you want to have the weigh saving then skip a can of Coke !

I agree. :-)

I guess I could have had the revs to the right, but there wasn't much room for speed!
