Sorry to say my good friend with a Ceylon CS was hit from behind today, possibly totaling the car. He's ok but the car is a mess.
What did you do to your E9 today?

And thankfully it didn’t come through the windshield and hit you!
Sorry to hear this...everyone's worst fear. Or one of them. Glad (I assume..) that he's ok. In NOLA, or elsewhere?
Just down the street from where we keep our cars, a route we have done 100's of times. You never know.
Had to refill the tank after returning from the vintage in Saratoga, it was a great ride both ways lots of good foliage.
@thehackmechanic , I spread my registration stickers out.

Just got the air box powder coated using a 50/50 mix of the two RAL numbers from that post. New snorkel hose on order.
If anyone has a new inner seal, it seems to be out of stock everywhere

The inner seal is too short and won’t stay
So sorry to hear about your friend. Hope he is ok. If the car is totaled, I know of a very fine Ceylon CS that is currently available from a highly reputable owner.
Thank you I will ask him

Carl’s coupe needs to be very affordable as I saw it before the repairs.

Just to be safe, I replaced the tire on my spare for the drive up to Hilton Head. It was a Michelin dated coded 1976 and was hard as a rock.
Took the ‘67 to a charity car show. Lots of great cars. This red Z8 rolled in and I waved him over to park next to me. Nice juxtaposition...
Was a beautiful day.

after much more testing the webers on the Porsche 928 i found better results with enlarging the 36 mm venturis to 38 mm.
As that is the same 580 cc/cilinder and both go 6000 rpm.... i will do it also on the triple set on the 3.5 l. Also still the stock 36 mm venturis in the 45DCOE.
Running now "rich" , 10 % bigger venturis will decrease the fueling effect ... can start with the same jets. ( 155 main,180 AC )

Added big panoramic mirror over the stock mirror so I could see stuff.
The fake Talbot mirror, mounted on the chrome trim, not drilled into the door ( those holes were welded/filled over), really doesn’t show much behind you.
Drove 250 miles from HB to Pismo Beach through Malibu with 20 other vintage BMWs, tomorrow we head to Carmel with rain in the forecast. Our coupes are not made of sugar! Third night in Paso Robles, enjoying lots of good wine, GSMs and Mourvedres.
Pictures...wet or not.
I drove 220 miles south from SF Bay Area to join Chris and friends for dinner and two great days of driving. I didn’t bring my coupe because the drive back north is forecast to be in a huge storm. Unlike Chris, I am afraid my unrestored coupe might be a pile of rust Monday morning. That is if I managed to get back safely on a freeway clogged with crazy drivers in their first real rain since spring. The food, wine and conversations are already great. Thanks to Chris for organizing it.
Drove my Taiga CSL for the first time in a couple of months to check on Jabberjaw. It’s actually getting close! The Taiga started right up and the drive is so fun. It’s a great car. I’m excited to drive Jabberjaw finally after about 2 years and In the 4-5 years before that I didn’t drive it much. Was always trying to get it to where that car deserved to be. Thx Don for all your help and many others fir the advice over the years! I’m glad I decided to take the interior back to a more stock look yet still with a lot of custom touches. More details and detailed pics when completely back together.
One cool detail was when I had the wood slat to the far right sent back to Madera Concepts to make a custom curve to accept the map light. I never liked how it didn’t lay flat. The map light in Taiga is just a bit shorter and doesn’t have this problem.
