The Porsche 935 was a race car developed and manufactured by German automaker Porsche. Introduced in 1976 as the factory racing version of the 911 (930) Turbo and prepared for FIA-Group 5 rules, it was an evolution of the Carrera RSR 2.1 turbo prototype, the second place overall finisher in the 1974 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Beginning with the 1977 season, Porsche offered the 935 to customers entering the World Championship for Makes, in the IMSA GT Championship and in the German Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft (DRM). The 935 went on to win the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans overall, and other major endurance races.
After having won both world championships in 1976, Porsche focused on Le Mans. Due to a lack of competition in 1976, Porsche decided not to defend its sportscar championship with the 936 in 1977, leaving it to the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33. The series would be demoted to a European series in 1978 before being discontinued.
In the 1977 World Championship for Makes season, the factory continued to develop and race one or two new 935, in case BMW or another brand would bring a competitive turbocharged car. Customers of the 935/77A were not happy that the factory would race them with a newer car, but as the 935/77 was often unreliable, it won only four of the nine WCM events, which did not include Le Mans.
In the WCM season opening 24 hour Daytona, the old car was entered, but tyre failures caused a DNF, with an old RSR taking the win in front of two customer 935. The new car body was changed significantly to lower drag, resulting in a 10 km/h higher top speed at Paul Ricard, where it covered 3,500 km in tests at speed, lapping three to four seconds faster. The front fenders, which in 1976 had followed the hood, now protruded above the hood line, and also accommodated mirrors. The rear fenders were altered, but the biggest change was the addition of a second rear window above the standard one. This allowed cleaner air flow to the rear wing under which the single turbo was later replaced by two KKK units. This improved throttle response and also power, but several head gasket failures meant that Porsche had some home work to do for 1978.
The works 935/77 qualified sixth at the 1977 24 Hours of Le Mans, behind the Renault Alpines and the 936s, but engine troubles ended their race early. As in 1976, a 936 won after the turbo powered sportscars chased each other into troubles. This time, a customer 935 finished third overall.
As for most of the models built his November, the Porsche 935/77 is a major redesign of a previously created model. In LUGNuts there was a build challenge named 'Redo or Redemption' just for this type of build.
Well, faster than the harbour light, which, if we must split hairs, isn't technically moving. That would just be confusing.

It was much faster flowing here than downstream where the fishermen stood in the river in their waders. This is part of an old dam and the river is in some beautiful parkland by the Old Mill. This was a lovely discovery.

Sushi zooming past at high speed. You have to be quick to catch it!
To make Fast Sushi you will need:
- 1 camera
- 1 support for the camera.
- 1 shutter release cable (optional)
Method
- Position the camera on the support, pointing at the sushi. Purists will claim you need a tripod for this bit, but that's just nonsense. I used a napkin dispenser.
- Set the camera to a longish kind of exposure. I found 1.3 seconds worked perfectly.
- Attach the shutter release cable (available for about tuppence from eBay). If you don't have a shutter release cable, don't panic! Just set the camera to delayed capture mode - you know, the one that lets you run round into the picture. (Do not, however, run round into the picture.)
- Fire the shutter.
Your Fast Sushi will be ready to serve in around 1.3 seconds.
Compare with Slow Sushi.

Ich war gestern zu lange aus. Viel herzhaftes Lachen bei tollem Improvisationstheater. Und das lange, nächtliche Versumpfen bei guten Bekannten bezahle ich heute mit etwas Müdigkeit und Abgeschlagenheit. Man ist nicht mehr die Jüngste

--Fast Draw--
I was putting away my minifig bits and determined to build something original and not minifig or GI JOE related when I realized that I could update Fast Draw. He deserved to be updated (previous version)!

....I've been honestly looking for a shot of a car reflection against ripple, but my last visit to a local Lake area didn't get me a good result, but I had no idea I would come across this reflection when I was birding ;-) .... I wanted little more abstract ... but this isn't too bad.
