Thanks for the tip on this, Brian! Looks cool - and shouldn't be too crazy hot out there in Fontucky in April.

I decided to head out yesterday. I was too late to drive my car on the track (sold out by 9:00 am) but there were a lot of great cars to check out. Three 968's on display, and three in the parking lot (including my Wimbledon Green Coupe). Three white coupes, one Amethyst/Magenta coupe, and one the same color combo as Flash's cab, Midnight Blue/Cashmere.

My car made it only as far as parking lot, so nobody around to show off the super charger and strut tower brace. Had I planned better, I could have displayed my car but spending the entire day there did not appeal to me.

Do you mean onlookers about the sc or the car in general?

it's a relatively unique car, and what ryker has done to it would really draw the onlookers. pretty sure that "hood up" would have shown a crowd around it, and not just because of the sc.

Flash, let's definitely do a Cars & Coffee. That would be fun. Now that you mention it, I guess it would have been interesting to talk to the onlookers.

Dan, I haven't done a bunch of bling, unless you consider a new radiator to be bling! I am considering painting the fuel rail cover. I have my list of to-do's but I think the car is really coming along.

I'll post a photo when I get back to LA next week. I headed up to Sacramento a couple days ago. Hmm, maybe I do need another 968 so that I have one to drive, and wrench on, when I'm not in LA.
