    Great new toykiss

    After all those years seeing your great cars and your lovely dogs and how you use them together, I wonder how you return the cars to the dealers…

    Do you spend a lot of money for car-detailers or do you accept the lower price from the dealers for the trade in that hard used condition.

    The Labs don't affect Sales Value, unless there's horizontal wood on centre console and they scratch it, which they didn't in the LWB RR although when BoomBoom chewed open the pepper spray in the door pocket he left toothmarks in the leather.  Otherwise no issues. Just complete detail.  Ferrari leather is very high quality and robust.

    MOST issues are Dada caused:  wheel curbs  and scratchesSmiley

    Nick wanted to see the RedLine in place - easy, solid and done, no frustration like a Valentine.  Will order more RedLines.

    Do you carry a sat phone with you when you go way back? I would assume that’s the only way you’d be able to reach anyone in the mountains.

    An alternative might be amateur radio NVIS (near vertical incidence skywave) operating in the 3.5 - 10 MHz HF radio spectrum.  The downside might be that it requires some antenna wire stringing which might not be practical for someone who suffers sudden lack of mobility.

    Garmin In Reach Mini satellite SOS-- I quit carrying it as it's hard to push the SOS when you're dead.smiley

    But when I post holed and that sharp branch pierced 2 1/2" into my calf muscle, I realized, as I wrapped it w self adhesive, that it could've been bad enough that I couldn't walk without dying.... decided to carry it again.

    The TRX has nice low low range gearing much better than Raptor for easing down steep rocks, as well as a crawl feature.  I've already torn the side lights off the front, nothing new so I ordered a

    Hmmm, if it's summer, why does this olde farte of the HeadWall have 3 levels of winter gear still in the TRX??

    Re: SUN'S LAST RUN TO WILSON, WY - 991 C2S CAB LIFE, END OF AN ERA (Part II)

    Because at 9800' it's freezing windchill, ice forming on the Headwaters and just NOT RC weather.

    White whiskers hanging everywhere.  Welcome to summer in the Rockies.

    But Sabre is glad to be eating ice again.

    Perhaps  of 67 Porsche and 23 Ferrari, 40 have been various shades of silver -  Argento Nurburgring is by far my favourite.

    Blu Scuro, even in bright sun is barely blue grey - compare both dash and the door which shows blue.

    Gorgeous but that interior at first glance looked extremely dusty and considering your track record of really dirty vehicles…


    Re: SUN'S LAST RUN TO WILSON, WY - 991 C2S CAB LIFE, END OF AN ERA (Part II)

    What does Ferrari charge for the extra door pocket option??
