Spark × Brumm: the 917K case
This was a new record for me: just three months between me buying a model and getting the upgrade. Well, in my defense, I had no idea the upgrade was coming out at the time. And for the money I have to say model-wise this was not a fantastic upgrade.

Porsche at Le Mans – 1971
Unfortunately only in German, but if you’re a 917 nut like me, and manage 13 minutes of spare time, watch it. It’s totally worth it! I was blown away by the amount of fabrication that they did in the pits. At one moment you can see the JWA team fitting a nose to the car by adding fiberglass – so it was not just a bolt-on job.
After watching the 2019 race, it’s really bizarre to see how things were done back then.

Cabinets & real life
With all hobbies, sometimes real life gets in the way. This time for me, it was display space. I was running out of space so I needed new cabinets. But sometimes things get complicated…

And Toyota does it again!
Car #8 crossed the finish line in 1st, giving Toyota its second overall win. Not that there was much doubt about who would win, but there still was quite a lot of drama in the last hour of the race, between Toyota’s #7 and #8. All because the pit crew changed the WRONG TIRE on (at the time) leading #7. But that folks, is why Le Mans is so awesome 🙂
All in all, a TERRIFIC race, specially because of the battles between GTE-Pro cars (and Am too).
