You still haven't noticed the message on the blue painters tape temporary plate I built for you?


Hahaha; What I was wondering is "what is he covering up there?"


Couldn't see anything written, but when I zoomed up, it was mostly blurry, but I think it said


"Take Me Home Andrew" That was a great touch!!!!!! Yep maybe Reliable will call this week. Hope they do anyway.

Haha.. Yea, you were supposed to see it on the exhaust video. Much easier to read there I think.

No hiding anything. I took 3x days and went through every thread on here to see what was posted or listed as issues for a 05' DB9. In that reading I found numerous threads listing mods and solving problems. This was one of them and I contacted SDEKonig about them. He is the person to contact and it is well worth the little extra in cost to just have him make them up. He makes them and tweaks them for the electronic board inside to fit correctly. So contact him. I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!

Speedracer800 took some nice pics of the car being loaded up. Bittersweet, for sure! If he doesn't get around to it, I'll post them up when I get home.

I think SheriffDep is going to love this thing. A buddy of mine was over yesterday and was amazed by the quality of the VCollection rear diffuser. He's had a few heavily modified cars, including a twin turbo Gallardo, and said it was some of the best carbon fiber work he's seen. So kudos to Nick and VC for that!

Yesterday was a very bitter sweet day for sure. While I'm certainly going to miss this amazing car.. The car that made me fall in love with our brand, I'm really excited it's going to such a good home and a great guy. You're going to love your DB9 Andrew. Can't wait to see the work Telum has planned comes together!

Here's some pictures of the shipping company picking it up yesterday from my house in Wisconsin. I took the time to roll out my DBS as well to get a few shots of them together one last time.

Beautiful stuff! Can't wait to see your handy work come together! It's going to be incredible! Looking forward to one of those V12 catch cans as well.

Is that a Falcon in the upper bay of the Hauler?

Dodge Falcon???? All I know is its old, and is a Dodge.

Unfortunately Telum01 will not be able to identify or give any specifics on that car. Reliable is weirdly after me complaining------ I booked it Sept 15th, they said pickup and delivery before Nov 15th. However, they never called. Said 24hr notice. I, Speedracer800, and Telum01 have each called them. Las tuesday night, I called them and raised hell, letting them know what they promised. Magically the next day they picked up the car. But.... it gets better. Sppedracer800 was told by the driver that the car is going (WI to DC booked for) to Michigan first, then another truck will take it from there. TELUM01 called the next day, they told him the car doesn't have a truck and driver designated for it yet, but probably will be in DC end of next week or so. WHAT?????

I don't feel comfortable with the car being transferred from truck to truck, plus possibly left from now till whenever in Michigan, likely not on a truck, and possibly outside. Not really happy, but tried to call and get a weird tone then calls hangup. Likely a non issue, but just frustrated. TELUM01 has a lot of work to do, and I don't want him rushed. They are screwing with time now, so not happy.
