Not seen while cycling, but speaking of dead 911s a friend of mine from the PCA days had his 996 aspro dump it's IMS a few weeks ago and now he's trying to sell off the car sans engine, as the cost to repair is ridiculous.  I told him he should buy a JDM STi engine (they're a tiny fraction of the cost of the Porsche unit) and build a Porsubaru or Subaporsche.  I seriously thought he was going to hit me.

What are the odds of a TT-RS and a AP2 S2000 traveling in opposite directions and we all meet at the exact same point on Walkers Line?

The thought of an Chevrolet engine in a 911 makes PCA guys go apeshit. ;D

Oh and the LS is about 50kg lighter than the M96 with more power and torque.

Colour? BMW has two demo units running around. One of the vendors I've worked with is currently driving a blue one.

Yesterday a snake. Surprised as it was cold out. Today a turtle. Hope it made it across the road safely.
