Glad to see you're back. Does this mean you're back to making us parts too?

All good here Paul, at least still alive (sort of, I think lol). I'll try to get the Boxster going this weekend, that's what got me to log back on 986forum in fact. Got a feeling something will be messing up in advance, lots of dust on that roadster right now so I might be posting sooner or later... I'll update later today or tomorrow. Hope all is well for you too, good to see you and others are still here!

Ramped up +3 new machines since and all belong to a customer for the next few months man. Google the word "slave" my picture is just below :/ Trust me if I could make parts I would, nothing better than making car parts machined the-way-I-chose-too. Pure freedom, miss that time. If you or anyone needs something done CAD/CAE/CAM-wise just let me know I got time for that, for the parts I know a whole lot of chaps with the same equipment so things can be arranged for a good cause. Hope business goes well for you man, good to see you too haha!!

nice secret weapon Steve, I dig that anodized silver a lot! Gen. 1 & 2 of those center caps are great, but Gen. 1 just a bit cooler
Also, welcome back Fred! Hope you are doing good man. Sorry to hear about the "Infotainment system" not going the direction you intended it to. Glad you made some money back from it though.
And did I hear Skybreaker?!

If I had a set of gen 1 (they rock and your wheels look really good too!) I would run them on my 17" Cayman wheels which are 5 spoke and very similar in my opinion to the Carrera GT wheels, I have a picture from last year's weeks reunion if I can find it :-)

Ah! yes, the secret weapon. Let's keep it secret a bit longer, we wouldn't want everyone to know how we make those wheels go fast'er
Love that car, the color and those wheels man, good to know you are still in the fast game!

Kind words, thank man and yes those Gen 1 are badass too, got them in blue on mine, still today! Same wishes to you, hope you and the car(s) are doing good. And that Skybreaker, yea, few of them might go in the laser in late Jan or Feb  Counting you in!
Btw, those are awesome wheels you guys got there on those two cars :/ Not as good as your set-ups but there, here's mine with those those Gen 1 caps on
