    Masonry, Vilner and Carlex do exceptional interior work (in masonry's case despite their garish show cars). Gemballa used to be as good but are no longer around. 

    It's just that many of the people that are looking for bespoke interiors have, umm... questionable design choices...

    Most bespoke stuff looks weird/shitty. That's why it's bespoke and not the one-size-fit-all standard.

    She might own both of them. Is that some posh hotel parking lot in London constantly filled with middle eastern cars?

    Yes, It is the Dorchester on Park Lane.

    It is strange that the valet would allow that to happen.

    The valet at Dorchester are usually quite attentive.

    I'm wondering that the guys working in front of the Dorchester didn't say anything. They always have guys in front of the house.

    The valets are often unmotivated and stressed. I saw so many expensive sportscars with valets in Florida but according to one of the valets I talked to, these are often rental cars and the drivers couldn't care less about them.

    Totally unrelated to 918, but this is Rennteam after all.

    Drove by somewhere today, totally impulse decision. 

    Pending inspection results, I think I just bought something. 

    It's a Porsche.

    Its' old.

    It has a manual.

    It's rear wheel drive.

    It's not what you guys think!

    Oh, it is of course black!

    It's something quite rare, Porsche didn't make too many back then. In Canada they only sold 55. Not sure how many survived now.
