Thread: Looking for the previous owners of my car

    You may have the car that was worked on at Brumos with "speedometer problems". The mechanic pulled the speedo and money came with it. As "the story goes", Paul apparently stuffed money through the hole to hide it during a traffic stop.

    Fantastic story, must have been a quite crazy (and scary) guy. His life story reads like a Scorsese script. Gonna check that speedometer hole today, you never know...

    Finally my 9 & 11x15 RSR Fuchs are here. Next best thing to the real deal I guess: they are widened 7&8's, anodized, polished lip and converted centers to 66mm. I had the Braids but just couldn't live with them... Done by Harry in Germany.
    I also had the muffler customized: put the pipes higher, bigger diameter and a little shorter. Looks good for now...Name:  fullsizeoutput_8f.jpg

    you (or better your car) definetly need other seats.
    I think a set of 13.29.00 (the ones on the right side) would be spot on if your waist is not beyond 32 inch.

    Now that we're nitpicking, it also looks like you have a later tach with lower redline. Car looks great!
