Das 908 Kind

Anything and Everything you've ever wanted to know about The 908 Kid.

: Name: "The 908 Kid"; Location: Vancouver, Canada, Canada

Hi, thanks for visiting my blog. This is a passive site, meaning I don't visit or up-date it much anymore. Feel free to have a look around, see some of my old postings (pre-2005ish) and get a bit of an insight into my personal life, my rambling thoughts and interests. If you'd like to learn more about my professional services, click the PROFILE link below and hit the "website" link to GOOGLE my name - follow the bread crumbs. (You can also e-mail me from there, if that's easier...) Thanks! EDITORS NOTE - WHY THE 908 KID?: I've been a racing fanatic my whole life. In my opinion, the Porsche 908/3 (in Gulf livery) was one of the finest short wheel base road-racing cars ever built. Also known as "a lawn chair with 350hp", it was nimble, had a powerful AIR cooled flat-8 3 liter engine, and thanks to it's low weight and great balance, was very, very fast around the mountain roads of Sicily (re: Targa Florio). See my "Wishlist" - on my PROFILE - for the full story.

Coat of arms of Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yeah, that's right. I'm German. Got a problem with that!?!?

Coat of arms of Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

"The origins of the Reich eagle (adler) on German soil probably date back to the time of Charlemagne. Around the year 1200 the black eagle on a gold field was generally recognised as the imperial coat of arms."
