    Tripoli Turquoise? The Z28 is one of my favorite cars (from the late 60's only). The 302 is a neat motor.

    Thanks for sharing. No apologies necessary.

    I hear you Tom one of mine as well. In fact when I owned one back in the day a 69 in cortez silver with black stripes I purchased it back from the guy I sold it to five years after selling it. The only other car I ever repurchased was my 67 red on red 911 now owned by a good friend and Registy member. Now back to our regularly scheduled program ;-)

    Ahhhh the sixties... I envision myself one early Saturday morning wearing plaid shorts, black shoes with white socks smoking a cigarette heading to the hardware store to buy a bag of nails.
    SWB cars are an acquired taste however once acquired theirs no turning back.

    The picture made it hard to identify the color of my '68 Z28. The exterior color is British Green with white stripes. The interior...remember it was the 60's...is called Ivy Gold. Both interior and exterior colors are original to the car. I've never heard of "Tripoli Turquoise"...but it sounds very cool...and very 60's too. Here's a picture that shows the colors better...and yes...the engine is a high reving 302 V8.

    Took mine out for a drive today. Followed a McLaren MP4-12C for a while- first one I've seen moving and it looks great on the road. It turned out to be a mutual admiration society; at a light he pulled up next to me and asked if my RS was real. When I told him it was he and his wife got very excited. Nice to meet an owner of a modern supercar who knows and appreciates an old 911.

    installed my new tacho and speedo, a battery switch on the dashboard, swap the repro to a genuine old Talbot visor, sat in and enjoyed.
    Snow is here and still.

    Today I cleaned off the grime from a weekend at the Streets of Willow.

    It was a banner weekend ... I finally got the old pig into the 1:29s, but I still have to shave another 2.5 seconds to beat the RSR clone that's whipping me senseless in GT5. Although, I do take some solace in the fact that I can drive my car across the country in relative comfort and he has to climb over door bars to get into his car.

    resplined the adjusters and lowered the car today. definitely need to roll the fenders out. may need to come up a tick in front, but its fairly useless to try and get it perfect until I can roll it around.




    investigated the crash damage. measured all the mounting points for the torsion stuff. they all seem to be the correct distances apart per the Porsche manual schematics. *whew* I'm not really sure what to do. really what bugs me about it most is the mounting point for the bumper is skewed.

    Went down to visit Jerry Woods today. Decided that it would be OK for them to work on my car given the others in the shop.
