Restoration Wednesday, The 928S4 Finally Catches Fire

by Groosh | posted in: Restoration Wednesday | 2

  It’s not a metaphor like: Man, that 928 catches fire and runs like little Billy away from a beehive. The 928 literally caught on fire. I bled the brakes and accidentally knocked the fluid reservoir cap into the engine … Continued

Restoration Wednesday, Me and The Gauge Cluster

by Groosh | posted in: Restoration Wednesday | 0

  Yesterday I pulled the gauge cluster in the 928 S4 and updated the odometer gear purchased from, wait for it, OdometerGears.com. I’m sure many of you have heard of them. They do great work at providing solid plastic gears … Continued

Restoration Wednesday, Just Get Out and Drive

by Groosh | posted in: Online Around the Net | 1

  The story I keep telling myself is that winter doesn’t really bother me because warm or cold, lots of snow or a little, I still can’t drive my toy until the last of the salt is off the roads. Salt … Continued

by Groosh | posted in: Online Around the Net | 2
