Wolfgang Coming to Dallas!

Well, my track plans keep changing. Turns out my 911 is not available this weekend as there has been some difficulty fitting the roll cage. Car is still in the shop. That leaves me with either the 968, or more likely the Ferrari for this weekend.

I have not tracked the Ferrari yet so neither day is ideal. Saturday is going to be packed with some very fast drivers and I'd rather not have to keep looking in my rear view mirror as I feel the car out for the first time. Maybe I'll take a chance on the weather and join everyone Sunday. Of course learning the car on a wet track wasn't what I had planned. Now I am thinking 968 again ....

Last issue I can think of is the brakes. I have no idea how much pad I have on the 355 since I haven't pull off the wheels in the year I have owned it. With stock fluid and rotors a thin pad won't last. Besides the dealer, anyone know where to pick some 355 pads locally?

 

PM sent.

 

URGENT MESSAGE TO WHOEVER IS COLLECTING WOLFGANG @ THE AIRPORT!

Good Morning All,

At 09h25 GMT I received a call from Wolfgang who was at Frankfurt Airport in Germany. He asked me to pass on the news that his flight to the US had been delayed by 45 minutes.

I guess this is due to restricted airspace over Italy for the Pope's funeral and the belt of atrocious weather that has hit some parts of the region.

Wolfgang asked me to apologise for the delay and (always the gentleman) to pass on his very best wishes to all in Texas!

Greetings from a snowy & cold London

MARK

 

I probably won't make it to Unique, but I will try to make it to LoD. Have to do real work today. I'll be at Pappasitos for sure.

 

I'm planning on being at LoD around 5:00, then will go to Pappasitos. Do we really think we can kill 2 hours at LoD?

 

hehe i visit the texas section to be far away from wolfy and i found him here....

Gentlemen, please keep him in texas

Hope he 'll enjoy his stay with you...

 

I think LoD closes at 6:00. So one hour should be good. I am planning on being at LoD at 5:00.

 

I cant make LoD, but are there any plans tonight for after LoD? Sorry if its posted on the thread...did not have time to read through it all.

 

I am waiting on approval from my better-half, but I think I should be able to make it to dinner tonight.

 

A bit behind, but we'll make it in time. Sorry for the rhyme, but we're leaving... now.

 

Rapping Randy bustin' his mad skills, yo.

 

I to shall represent the German automakers with my "silver star."

 

Is everyone still trying to meet at Unique? Since Wolfgang's plane is coming in a bit later & going though the mess at DFW with HOMELAND SECURITY, getting him to his hotel in Dallas traffic, etc.. I wasn't sure about the current plans.

 

I think I will just head to LoD as well. I have some errands to run near downtown pretty soon, and no telling what traffic will be like.

The wife is driving out German car, should I drive British or Detroit Iron?

 

I guess I don't know what your Detroit iron is, but I'd suggest British!

 

Take a look at my profile.... It would go pretty well at Unique Performance, though maybe a little out of place at LoD.

 

NOTHING is out of place at LoD. Last time I was there they had a very nice F350 Quad Cab pickup in the back showroom.
