Soft rounded 911 and straight rectangular Reverso. Nice!

. . . true. You can see the car, but not the Karrée? Better? "Ready for my close-up, CB!" There's something oddly congruous about a Karrée perpetual calendar sitting atop a Holley 4500 carb. Original '50 Merc . . . . . . mid-way thru the renovation proces...

. . . that's a first, no doubt about it. Thanks much for sharing your PanoInverse with us . . .

. . . and I'll check with Warren later to confirm. And yes, having him in the family will come in handy some day - I'd love to have a '60s Dodge or Plymouth again.

. . . rated at 300 hp, with a mild cam, aluminum intake, and Holley 4500 carb. It hasn't been tested on a dynamometer, but Warren's guess is roughly 10% more horsepower than stock, putting it at around 330 hp.

These are the first photos I've taken with my new DSLR Pentax. Now that I see how much more flexibility this camera has compared to my old one, I'll probably end up joining in on more WristScan Fridays! Emil
