Met up with Clay and Betty to get some footage and photos for the quaranTEENERfest video. Lots of fun, and amazing that Clay is doing as well as he is.

I had been using the 14mm f/2.8 for video work, and it was a bit strange shooting photos of the cars with it. I normally don't use such a wide angle for stills, but it resulted in some interesting shots.

Nice pics, really nice. The only thing wrong I see is 4.0?? Who puts a 4.0 in a 914??

Clay obviously has the "stretched" version. And the Blue one is about a foot shorter than Clay's?

Haha. Yea. That's why I normally don't shoot automotive with a 14mm, but it's what I had on the camera for all of the video work.

You met Clay right? He is the Spinal Tap 11 but knows how to actually make it 11!

Yes..it goes to 11. But like any (horsepower) junkie, I want more. Current HP is estimated at 430. Add a supercharger ($15K for an estimated 50% HP increase) and a Vonnen hybrid conversion (another 20 to 25% Hp bump, approximately). Then wheel motors for the front and a bigger battery pack than Vonnen uses. That makes an all wheel drive 914-6!

The Vonnen hybrid setup is 70K installed. They don't sell it as a kit. Too much liability when 480 volts comes into play.

That one would go to 20.

But sadly that dream is not in the budget unless I win the powerball drawing.
