    No worries, Gib.
    I don't hunt, but I like target shooting with my SSG69 or my 98k with a Zielsechs
    I would love to own a nice pre-64 Winchester 70.

    Fall is finally coming to Arizona...a little rain, cloudy skies, beautiful sunsets. I just picked up the 77 WB from Stuttgart Southwest in Tempe after having the tranny rebuilt...to fix a noisy 4th gear. While in there, had them adjust the valves, and a few other minor things. It is the perfect time of year to go for a drive in a 911 without AC....and it will be like that for the next 7 months.

    Took a ride out in the desert this afternoon and came across this fairly large substation with some serious transmission lines surrounding it....

    Probably doesn't matter for guys our age Gib, but boys in procreating age should stay out from under lines like that!

    Gorgeous shots, thanks for sharing.

    Swede,

    I went right home after the pics and took one of those 'blue pills' to protect myself...and my wife...



    I have painted a 'fog light delete' valence, and will try it out soon on this car. I am thinking maybe the recessed 3.2 fogs look a little too modern.

    I like "The Beige Bomb" just the way she is....

    Hi Gib...I think the recessed fog lights looks great on "The Bomb"...looks complete and clean...w/o them it looks like something is missing and empty...I always thought the external mounted fog lights(SC-type) looks incomplete and cumbersome...Most of the time they are "pointing" into the ground or all over the place...and usually they are crooked (to use a popular word!) ...maybe try with yellow glass?(on fogs only).But, what do I know...

    Great looking car and if I could reg/smog it in California, I would car-jack it from you ...Have a Happy Thanks Giving.../ Lars...

    Lars, thanks for the compliment. I definitely agree that the mid 70s through 83 style fogs just look like an after thought by Porsche...too cheap to do it like they finally did with the 3.2s in 84. I do like this look, but the clean look of no fogs has appeal to me, because it is a clean look. Here are some pics for comparison and one pic in Carmel showing both styles. I am still debating whether to make the change. If the rubber spoiler didn't have so many bolts I would just do it to see how it looks, but it is a PITA to change it all and then decide I don't like it so much.
