April is officially PORSCHE month at the Todas household

Like I said before, I'll be doing the High Performance Driving Clinic, April 5. My Valentines Gift from my lovely wife Kimmy is... Drivers Education weekend, April 12-13 . The wheels are going to be smokin' in April!

Practicality

Yesterday we went to IKEA... just to look... and ended up buying this Desk... and yes we brought it home in the 911. It was a tight fit but we did it. Whom ever says Porsche 911's are impractical... bite your tongue.

PCA Potomac High Performance Driving Clinic

I just signed up for the April 5, 2008, PCA Potomac High Performance Driving Clinic. I can't wait... Should I sign up for the DE for the following week? That's a lot of driving! Then there is the Hershey Swap meet at the end of April. OMG lots of Porsche stuff in Arpil!

The Driver

Thank you Chris for refering me to read the The Driver by Alex Roy! Holy cow... it is a must read, so exciting, so fast, so illegal. I wish I had the balls to do some of the thing Alex did in the book. I read it on my flight to the Philippines... I couldn't put it down.

if you are interested in road racing, outlaws, and comedy... read this book!

Here is an interview with Letterman

2008 911 Projects

Here are a few things I'd like to accomplish on the 911 this year.

- Ignition Tune up
-Pop-off Valve install (I have the part, just need to install)
-Lower and realignment
-H4 headlamp upgrade
-New Stereo system (hidden in the glove box), keep original in dash (but find the annoying rattle on or around it)
-Fix/replace the window seal/trim on the passenger side
-Air filter upgrade

I think that is it for now. What I didn't include were oil changes, maybe a transmission fluid change. I will update as I complete these items.

AWWW YEAH!

Dear Mr. Todas,

Thank you for your interest in Porsche and your request to tour our

I am so psyched! Here is my confirmation for visiting the Porsche Factory and Museum in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. I am going to Germany for a convention in Düsseldorf, and decided to take an extra day and visit the factory.

I have been out of the country for the past 3 weeks... visiting family and vacationing in the Philippines. It was a great time, but I am glad to be home. Got to see some family, cool beaches and islands, ate fried crickets, saw Grandma Orang, and other fun things.

I will soon be making my 2008 plan for the 911... upgrades, autocrosses, DE events. Stay tuned.
