No no my dear.. cars that are shipped to this part of the world have the A/C box ticked by the factory not by customers.

Re: A Hot Day

This past Sunday I rode Screamin Eagle Electra Glide to a bike event in Danbury CT. (Super Sunday/ Marcus Dairy). On the way home the thermo. read 100 degrees. I had about 15 minutes of waiting at a toll where I nearly roasted my nuts off. Sitting right on top of that big V-Twin it had to be 120 F plus.

Love your CGT. Driving too I see. Nice

Miss my Raptor. Just had no place close to ride it. Never would have sold it if I had places like that to go.

Re: Ruf RK spyder

Just looked at the new Ruf RK spyder (otherwise known as a coach built boxster). They want 250,000 USD for one. I thought I was going to fall off my chair. I think smoking crack would put one in the mood to purchase.
It is just using the same 3.8 liter engine with his supercharger to get 420 hp.

Where does this pricing come from?!!!!!

I'm not so sure about that. Do you have any idea how much more crack you could buy with $250k?

If she's a student at la Universidad de Salamanca, she'll have good luck if she can find it without assistance.

Or, so the story persists down through the ages.

Maybe Carlos can add some interesting details of which I'm unaware.

P.S. It's a carved stone frog.

Re: A Hot Day

Thanks for the info. Sounds like an interesting story, but she hasn't been a student anywhere for 30+ years. Lives in the States six months and Spain the other six. Married right, but I drive a 911S!
