Surprise Track Day
January 25th, 2011 — Racing, Sharka pix
I met some buddies at the track on a warm January afternoon. We had the whole place to ourselves, so in between zooming around, there were a few pix snapped. I brought my F3 film camera. I savored every click of the shutter.
Japanese Car Parts and Film
January 6th, 2011 — Interior
The lead image for this post was shot by my newest camera, a Nikon F3 film camera. The F3 was the last professional manual focus camera that Nikon made. My copy comes from 1985. 10 years older than Sharka.

This past solstice (12/21/2010), I found myself standing out in the middle of the desert under almost complete cloud cover in the middle of the night. With my camera.
Garage Woolery GV Tail Light Trim Rings
December 26th, 2010 — Exterior
Friend and fellow CR.net moderator, Mr. Woolery, came up with the idea to do some trim rings for the Garage Vary tail lights on his car. And then he followed that one up with the idea to make a limited run of these rings and sell them to a few lucky folks on ClubRoadster. And here is my set!

M2-1001 Steering Wheel

854 words on my newest steering wheel! It’s rare. It came from Japan. Fans of the M2-1001 Cafe Roadster might enjoy this post a whole lot.
RyokuRob Rear Tow Hook
December 10th, 2010 — Parts Review
I wanted something to go with my RS Factory Stage front tow hook, and this beauty made by ClubRoadster sponsor RyokuRob was the object of my desire.

I acquired a new steering wheel for my collection the other week. But this post is not about that. I’ll have a post dedicated to that beauty soon. This post is about the wild idea I had when trying to figure out storage for my steering wheel collection.
See, I’d been using a shelf in the garage. The wheels were all protected in their original Momo and Nardi boxes, but they were still out in the garage. Not the best place for such beautiful objects. And definitely not where I wanted to store my new M2 steering wheel. It is such a piece of art.
And that’s when the idea hit me. Art. It deserves to hang on the wall.
Cars, Coffee, and Chile – 11/2010
November 22nd, 2010 — Racing, Sharka pix
I don’t manage to get out to the track to race around very often. And it’s even less often that there are guys with cameras. So I’m pretty happy to be able to make this blog post.

FM Shock Spacer Install and Review
November 12th, 2010 — Parts Review, Suspension
I picked up and installed a pair of these FM shock spacers a while ago. Didn’t get around to posting about it till a couple of months later. Perhaps they’re not as exciting to me as a Japanese tail light panel or new turbo parts. Or maybe I’m sad that I’m admitting defeat and raising Sharka slightly. For whatever the reason, I’ve been putting off this blog post.
This is no fault of the shock spacers themselves. They work GREAT.
