If you’ve never had the pleasure of having In-N-Out, it’s fast food at its finest, the unfortunate fact is it’s currently only available out west in California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona. They use fresh ingredients, and never freeze the meat. It sounds a bit extreme for fast food, however if you’ve ever had the pleasure of eating it you won’t complain at the effort behind the meal.

Sean’s wife was having a craving after a recent trip out West, which he jokingly mentioned Garrett at Phil Wood Company. Garrett went to his local In-N-Out in California and had them prepare the food and package it separately to preserve it during shipping. A small cooler, Tupperware sandwich packs, and $20.00 in dry ice and the package was ready to ship.

A little over $100 and 24 hours later the fast food arrived safe and read to be re-heated and enjoyed. The only bad part is that no one in the office got a taste, I guess it’s a small price to pay for a happy wife! We’ll likely do this again in the future, rumor has it Garrett’s arranged a deal to have the uncooked fries sent as well, sounds like we’ll need to have a deep fryer installed at the new office.

Another couple weeks has passed and our contestants are beginning to look like members of an NHL hockey team during the playoffs. Things may heat up soon as a couple of the contestants have weddings to attend and word around the campfire is that their significant others are none to happy about their “growths”. (get your mind out of the gutter…but, “that’s what she said”)

Apparently our idea has caught fire as there is another company doing a similar contest to ours. They’re only doing mustaches though, weak. We aren’t bitter, quite the opposite in fact. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

We headed to Colonial TownPark for the 5th annual Cars for the Cure show. The show is an annual event held in Lake Mary that benefits the American Lung Association. It is their largest local fundraiser for the year, and Nero and myself are both on the committee for the past few years. The show features a great variety of cars with the majority being customs or exotics. It’s free to the public and normally fills the outdoor shopping complex to capacity. The event has become a staple in our event calendar and usually marks the start of a busy few months of regional shows and testing for the upcoming race season.

This year we where blessed with temperatures in the mid 70s and blue skies throughout the day, a far cry from the morning showers that have plagued this event in years pasts. We had the pleasure of showing Greg Aukscunas 4 digit horsepower Supra in our booth this year. Greg had flown down from Pittsburgh to pickup his car after yet another round of modifications and decided to stay and extra day to take part in the show. We also brought my yellow 996tt and our Camouflage 996tt which had a fresh round of upgrades done just in time. The response to the camouflage car was phenomenal and it had plenty of fans and haters throughout the day. Overall the show was a great success, even though we didn’t win any awards as a group, we all had a great time and got to see plenty of cars we don’t see every day, all while raising money for the ALA.

On our recent trip to Birmingham UK, we did visit a few places that stood out. The Café Rouge was one of them. Café Rouge is a cozy little French restaurant located on New Street, in Birmingham’s downtown district. The atmosphere was nice, and the staff was pleasant. What I liked the best, of course, was the food. They offered a large selection to choose from, but once I saw the Moules (mussels) du Café Rouge, I was sold. Coming from a French family (and working 6 years as a sous chef in a French restaurant), I have had the pleasure of enjoying many different French dishes, and properly prepared mussels is one of my favorite. The Moules du Café Rouge consisted of mussels cooked in a white wine, garlic, herb and cream, and came with a basket of baguette (French bread). Let me tell you, they were every bit as good as they sounded. The portion was very generous and even though I was pleasantly full afterward, I still continued sopping up the broth with my baguette. It was good stuff all around. Even the price was fair, with the whole meal just under $20. It was a good stop, with good food and atmosphere, and sure beat the hell out of fish and chips.

Wow, I normally don’t repost videos on the blog, but this one had everyone in the office dying today (sorry John Reese!).

Now for the shameless plug for the PPG GTR Gearset which should be released late spring for those who are feeling the GTR tranny pains.
