Some PLN shots...

Julio! Quit looking at the gauges and drive! :-)

I was there today. They were busy but Dave said "racing season is over" so he may have time to finish other projects. To be fair, everything has to be as planned for his timeline to work. All core parts must be serviceable, no one in the talent chain can be sick or have a death in the family. He said 10 weeks for mine, but I haven't even pulled the head he's going to be modifying (E31) so I'm my own problem as far as time is concerned. Mine will be a 10.2:1 3.0 liter with 200+ at the rear wheels. The torque though is the real story with these motors. I just need enough to overcome the talent difference between me and Silver Streak... 8-D

Digital approach to an analog problem... Not Les's thing. I'm amazed he has a website and admire him for not getting caught in the digital trap. Use the phone.

I sold a set of Libres for $600 + shipping a few years ago but the value has dropped out because you can't find tires, especially performance tires for the 14" wheels...

Eric doesn't mess around. He is likely to have them back to you within a few days. When you talk to him, tell him Rob said "anytime you can get me that price for those Audi A4 Porterfield R4S Pads, that would be fine..." Then tell him I'm just messin' with him. He keeps forgetting.

Gary built it. Take it to Gary before it makes a popping sound...

The aforementioned Eric is Eric Shea at PMB Performance (Search by that name). He uses new pistons, none of the rebuilders will. They will look like jewelry when you get them back.

Now there's a familiar name...

Another PLN shot. This one with Porsche...

On a much less vintage note, here's some Nismo help with LeMans since we are in the week...

This is cool...

As original as that looks. I would not touch the carb swap idea.

Newman and Redford on set...

I'd guess that Rebello is his machine shop. It's mine and he knows a bit about Z cars so... 8-)

I've seen Leon's Megajolt/EDIS L2X motor running. I've never seen a steadier idle in a carburated Z and I've been around them for 35 years. Dead on accurate. I understand the argument for a stock look however...

Apparently a VW fan too!

Seen your neighbors cat lately?

Here's a little battle going on between my two favorites...

I agree with all three answers but to correct your original question, MAKES, not "made." They're still making them.

Here he is. Anyone know who his companion is?

Wait, actually that's McQueen isn't it?

PLN with a post-race pilsner!

What a career this guy has had! Still going strong too!
