Re: Musicar stereo upgrade group buy

Nick was out on vacation for a bit, so that has delayed things. I talked to him early last week and he said that he's been swamped trying to QC all of the orders they have ready to ship out. FWIW the Stage 3 I ordered for my 991.2 is supposed to arrive on Monday.

They are very focused on testing ...

Wash Day Today

Finally had sufficiently decent weather for my first attempt at cleaning my new to me 991.2 (bought it in December 2023).

Started with the tires (passenger front for example). I used Chemical Guys Diablo Gel wheel cleaner.

Re: Rennsport Dragon Rally

If anyone is seriously considering attending RDR next fall, be sure to book early as it fills up fast. You can book at https://www.rennsportdragonrally.com/ for any of the 2024 events.

You'll also want to try and reserve a room at the Fontana Village Resort & Marina . Plan to arrive on Thursday ...

Re: Rennsport Dragon Rally

As someone who is located in Middle Tennessee, you owe it to yourself to sign up for a future RDR! You'll have a fantastic time. I'm sure the June event is just as outstanding as this October was. April is for air-cooled cars only, so unless your stable of Porsches has changed, it doesn't look like ...

Re: Rennsport Dragon Rally

I attended the October 2023 RDR and it was quite possibly the most fun I've ever had behind the wheel of a car. In the video shared in the first post, the road they're on is Voldemort (the road that shall not be named). They did not include that road officially on the schedule for the Fall 2023 ...

Re: Shoe Q

I have two pairs of Piloti Slipstreams . I have them in Charcoal and Cognac.

They're very well made, super comfortable, and look fantastic. I've worn them for HPDE weekends and honestly have no clue if they're an improvement over my regular sneakers. They're definitely tighter and the sole seems ...

Thank you @Tom, the chalk dial cover looks beautiful with the chalk tachometer gauge face and stitching!

Re: Knee is Rubbing

Right now, my steering wheel is positioned so I can cross my wrists above the 12 o'clock position, as required for HPDE events. When driving my elbows are bent at a comfortable angle. I wasn't very clear on that, so I apologize. No straight arms for me when driving! :angel:
