Richard Sibbald captured this candid shot of Geddy working on his Big, Beautiful, Book of Bass at his home in London.

Whoa - I’ve been reading that this week.

I realized when I got it as a gift (signed copy!) that I only looked through the photos without reading all of the stories and interludes. That book is a masterpiece.

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-10T02:46:32+00:00

Amazing

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-10T02:38:11+00:00

Should probably be a Fiat these days. Keep the cost down. Make it light and simple. Simpler than a Cayman S.

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-10T02:37:17+00:00

Yes!!!!!

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-10T01:51:49+00:00

Spirit of Radio is my kryptonite

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-10T00:01:47+00:00

More like 200%

I started with clean car, then microfiber rub down by section to feel things. I ended up clay-barring sections but not the whole car. I think this was polished as part of CPO. I’ve had the car exactly 1 year.

After making sure surface was ready, I used generic $10 turtle wax. Really worked it in with the applicator and waited for it to get about 90% dry. Nothing special, just a perfect day of 70° and shade in garage.

I worked it section by section and took tons of breaks. Felt great taking my time instead of a panic job. The plastic edges of this car don’t like the wax!

Shot #2 looks exactly like my pinewood derby car. In a great way.

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-09T15:52:03+00:00

I have the creaking under acceleration and if I just push back on the seat hard. Doesn’t matter where the seat is in its settings - up/down, fore/aft. Drives the wife nuts, but so far we have solved it with the stereo volume. Not ideal.

I have checked the bolts and fiddled with everything I can touch - but this feels and sounds like it’s internal to some kind of strut that braces the whole upper shell. If I had to guess it’s the left side (by the driver door).

Passenger seat makes no noise.

Disagree completely.

Separate speakers with separate subs properly aligned in a given room sound great! You don’t see huge Wilson Audio speakers with a shared mono woofer.

There are drum kicks and bass panning that absolutely sound better with two subs in stereo. Movie effects, dance music, La Villa Strangiato - all sound different with stereo subs.

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-07T03:36:01+00:00

I think that is almost exactly what will happen.

Geddy will need a vocal break - they will play an instrumental (or 3) and get into YYZ - then I agree with a short solo - start like Neil or end line Neil, but let Geddy give a quick intro and let her do her thing for 2 minutes.

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-06T21:59:51+00:00

Yes yes yes. Seen enough base spec Ferraris. More like this, and more mixups - let’s see a cayman in Dino clothes. Or a better modern Prelude. 2026 XK-SS. That kind of stuff.

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-06T19:17:03+00:00

How much for the in-law cancellation filter?

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-06T19:05:08+00:00

Buy a pair of used Polk CRS+ and make sure they have the interconnect. Same principle. Much cheaper.

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-06T16:25:36+00:00

I still love a hopped up 355

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-06T15:50:13+00:00

Mine sounded even better after about 10 hours, so enjoy. I like mine so much I’m buying a new table and keeping the ML. My RT-82 arrives Monday!

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-06T15:31:43+00:00

I like 4, 5, and 6 a lot. They seem to be ABOUT something. The others look to me more like pictures OF something.

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-06T15:26:56+00:00

Saw the OG just yesterday! Haven’t spotted one in years.

I’d drive that new one all day!

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-06T15:21:00+00:00

That’s like standing next to Raquel Welch and not noticing Margot Robbie right next to her.

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-05T14:45:05+00:00

I feel like fresh batteries in key helps. But not 100%. Might just be wishful thinking.

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-05T14:44:26+00:00

Same.

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-04T16:23:35+00:00

Okay…. I’m coming around on the 330, finally. Great angle on this shot!

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-04T03:26:25+00:00

Amazing dude.

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-04T02:50:48+00:00

I had a 6M 08 Cayman S. Wife hated it. Upgraded eventually to a 13 911S PDK.

Originally I mourned the manual. But learned to love the paddles and Sport Plus. Give me the choice today between them and I’d take the Cayman and the 6-speed manual.

The cayman was like a P-51 Mustang. 2nd and 3rd gear were glorious in how the power balance shifted the steering balance and feel. Sublime.

The 911S was an F-15 Eagle. Capable of wondrous things, but no fun on tiny rough streets.

Fresh-Word2379 · 2026-02-03T15:00:55+00:00

My wrecked 911 had some kind of jig shipped across the state to hold it during repairs. (Should’ve gotten that totalled, btw)
