Wow cool to see the old track again. I have a few Carlsbad trophies from both motocross and Grand Prix races....good times. Don’t recall Brett I raced with the over the hill gang, OTMX and Lost Angels M/C

I bet the cops are hesitant to pull anyone over right now.

In CA actually CHP is being encouraged to use judgement as to what if an offense related to DMV status.

If I had a new car I'd drive it but make sure I had a copy of sales contract and proof of insurance handy.

Well, she's on the rack with all the underbody shields removed at the moment anyway.

I picked up some additional small parts from Circle Porsche in Long Beach yesterday (they have pretty good prices (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) ... and I had to get a headlight removal tool - it's needed to remove the front bumper valance so I can check the condition of the radiator coolant hoses.

Cops had a big radar trap yesterday on route 1 in Delaware. I had an suv blast by me at 100mph, saw an unmarked black suburban behind an overpass and then a mile down the road, there were 12 cop cars with another dozen cars pulled over, including the speeding suv. I guess they got tired of all the speeding.

Speeding, running red lights & stop signs is becoming the norm for way too many folks. Yesterday we were on the 405 freeway, average speed was 80 and people were still passing us up at 90+ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Other than trying to work and be a part time kindergarten teacher, my wife and I taught the 5 year old kiddo how to ride a bike in 3 days. (Took my 27 year old bike in for a tune up as well as the wife’s 20 year old)

Then we started selling off baby stuff, looked around the garage and saw 10 years of unfinished projects and decided to take a free redwood playset that was neglected from someone a mile down the road and disassemble and re-assemble, repair, clean and site prep in my tiny yard. Anything to get the wiggles out of an active kid.

Once that’s done I’ll get the garage sorted and workable again.

...took almost 3 full years to wake up from my dads surprise passing and start moving/motivating again.

I’ll update once the playset is finished...when I get on a real computer tomorrow I’ll post the before and the 2-days later 1/2 reassembled shot:

That's beautiful.
You'll enjoy that picture for the rest of your life.

Started out slow with a little of this






Then moved on to some of this



Then figured it was time I got around to putting this thing together





and take care of all the little things necessary to cram it into this








Actually wound up installing the motor and then pulling it and tearing it down again due to my OCD when i remembered i hadnt painted the under side of the tin before then installing it a 2nd time. Wound up swapping the exhaust on the M3 twice as well, first time to bring it back to stock (I bought it with an after market catback on it, wife said it was annoying) then then later that day swapping it back to the aftermarket cat back after the wife said it was a "pansy car" now, "didnt sound like an M3 should" and that "she preferred to hear me coming". I cant win, but at it gave me something to do.

Looks like you had a busy day, eh? Everything you worked on looks great.

Coincidentally, when my wife & I were loading up boxes into my truck for an impending run to AZ, I noticed the grilles on my Westy were looking shabby and in need of a new paint job (again). I think I'm going to spray with a semi-gloss this time - the flat paint I used last time didn't seem to hold up to well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I was debating if paint was the way to go but they were looking shabby enough i figured i would give it a shot. Wound up using a plastic bumper paint that has almost a light bedliner like texture to it. Interested to see how it holds up.

Finally got around to some spring cleaning and re-arrangement in the garage.
This is the first time this car has rolled in more than 10 years.
I took it off the lift and turned it around to do some work.
If the Luft event happens in November we hope to be there with this car.
It's a numbers matching '57

Still building our house (hangar home). Living the "life" in a 19ft trailer while I plug along. Electrical was approved just before the Stay at Home order. Plumbing is next before I can cover up the rest of the walls.

We do find time to relax and enjoy our place. Some stuff is done and final like the Deck. Our back yard is the runway for Roche Harbor. You can see the harbor off to the right.

Million dollar views Dan!

I am jealous. When we were looking to buy a house, I wanted a hangar with a small two bedroom apartment in it. Lots of room to park cars/airplanes inside.

Betty Vetoed that one. She said it was too far out of town.


So you are a lucky guy....

Hello everyone!

Found a crazy deal on a complete ML63 AMG Leather seat seat.. going to upgrade from the MB-Tex (fake) leather in the 550...

[barefoot]

New wheels/tyres. 17x7 wheels shod with 225-50 R17's front & 235-45 R17s rear.
Just enough room rear for finger width clearance to trailing arm. I'm sure fronts will rub inner fender wells at full lock.
With wide body kit I had to try 1 wheel first with a 2D mock-up of tyre profile's to conclude the deal as no standard fitment guide to be had.
