Hi Guys,
Was out for a Sunday cruise and lunch with some friends and stopped at Home Depot to grab something for the Rolls. When we came out we noticed a beautiful grey turbo in between the Ghost and the Bumblebee.

Anybody on here? We waited a few minutes but had to run. Car looks good! I like the HRE's you've got on there.

cheers.

Haha. Needed a leaf blower (best way to dry a car), electric of course. Grabbed some small shrubs also to plant. You know, the normal things.

Of course. ;-) FYI the RedMax 200mph backpack blower is the bomb not only for your yard, business, garage cleaning.... but post-vehicle wash drying as well!

lol, love this thread!


Been to Home Depot to buy Windex, Rejuvenate (good for wood floor by the way,) Never have seen this though. At least you guys know how to park. I usually would have a Ford 900 next to my car (about an 1inch.)


I think the R8 is being a little overly cautious though.

Not my car but I am in the area. So what do you all say, time for a road trip? Anyone up for an out East trip for some back road fun.

We should get some of you mid-Long Island guys out here on the east end.. I am the only Porsche Turbo I know of around Quogue year round... there are dozens of Moostangs and quite a few Maseratis looking to get killed.....

I also may have found a new housing/land development which will have a long private road... once finished, it will replace my current 0.3 mile private road as a safe datalogging place... will advise when it gets bitumized

Cool, they actually did up the 27 HWY past S'Hampton, it is actually driveable now out to almost East Hampton... Sag is my fave town out here

I found a road out the back of Riverhead where there are no cops where I unwind up to 100 sometimes.. road is smooth, clear and few cars so with 2 drive arounds it is easy to scour for police with a radar detector and visuals....

will have to catch up when I get the car back

Looks like ttboost's (Mike's) old 18g car.
I think he sold it to someone from the NY area, but I could be mistaken.
