Great news Bob. Unfortunately I don't do Instagram or facebook. I will have to use my sons account to check it out.

Best luck and Happy Holidays.

You might want to look at my Instagram, @robertlinton1, for the latest information about the air-cooled, 4-valve, 4-cam, 4-liter, air cooled, naturally aspirated, high revving, lightweight, flat six engine that we have been developing. There are now three videos although the latest one was without sound. Should be a new one next week. Also, as you look at the 100 kph - 200 kph speed, bear in mind that the test car is an old and heavy 964 with no aero and old tires. The America GS is 1000 lbs lighter, has aero and performance tires.

Thought you might like to hear the sound of the new engine on its first run. Though there are no plans to sell engines, it would fit into any air cooled 911.

Sounds great Bob.

I am sure it is a winner. I hear Porsche is now supplying engine cases to Singer? It sounds like they should be considering yours.

Though Rennlist people do not seem to be interested in our new 4-valve, 4-liter, 4-cam, naturally aspirated air-cooled engine, tomorrow I will be put a new video (with sound) on my Instagram, @robertlinton1. After that I will not waste your time with such notifications. FYI, with new tires, the 100 KPH - 200 KPH time in the test car, an old 964 cabriolet, is down to 7.14 seconds. Of course, my car, the America GS, weighs 1000 lbs less than the test car, has aero, a far better suspension, better wheels and tires, etc.

Sounds awesome Bob. Will you also make that kind of tests and share results once the engine in the GS?

Could but the results could only be better than what we will see during the present six months of testing.

I am not an IG user but have an account. I will have to check in with you every now and then. The work is always amazing to me. I am always interested in what you have going on.

In addition to the 4-valve, 4-cam, 4-liter, naturally aspirated, high revving, flat six, air cooled engine, I'm doing a 6-speed carbon fiber gearbox which no Porsche, road, race or restomod, has ever had.

Sadly, the demographic isn’t once what it was. Most of the users who haunted the forum when I joined some time ago, have long since left. I myself only look for your updates Bob, and remember fondly our get together in London many moons ago.
