New Video

Some of my new parts just arrived from Japan














Just waiting on my pipe kit, front bumper, and project mu rotors now.

The pipe kit arrived today so it was off to the garage.

On another note, this excites me even more to go to Germany. I'll be working for a car company in Pfaffenhausen. Anyone guess which one?..... Sorry for the excitement, its hard to hold back!

Im not moving to Germany. For the summer (I am only 17), I am going to a school in switzerland for a month to learn about mechanical engineering. After that, with a couple of connections, I was able to get a job working for Ruf. Ill probably be sweeping floors , but it will be hella fun! Hopefully they go to the Hockenheim or 'Ring when I stay there. So, in the end, I wont be bringing the 8 with me.

Ok, that is real cool

I thought Ruf was down that way but I wasn't real sure. When I went to Porsche factory tour here in Stuttgart there was some Ruf guys looking at the new GT2 on the assembly line.

Hell, If you ever make it up to Stuttgart I go to the ring at least once a month starting in April if you want to tag along.

I thought the same thing. When I was 17 I had a POS civic hatchback that probably wasn't even worth what his gram lights are. Must be niiiice.

Great lookin GTR man, the effect never wears off on me.

Pfaffenhausen is 1 hour 50 minute drive from Stuttgart depending on speed. From Stuttgart it takes me between 2 and half hours to 3 hours depending on how I fast drive the RX8.
