Is this guy on the forum? CM shirt. 

Most of the Larry Chen YouTube's are pretty sweet.

Yup, Rob rules. 

We’re pretty sure we met when we both lived in Atlanta, so we’re talking 1992-ish. We knew the same people, went to the same autocrosses. 

Rob and I talk regularly these days, and he’s helped us with stories. Always good to see/talk to him.

Then there’s that time I took a new ND2 Miata press car to his shop for some dyno time...

Is it this story?

In reply to Colin Wood :

Yup. 

“Hey, Rob, can we stop by unannounced with the latest Miata for some dyno time?”

“See you when you get here.”

Another Rob story. 

Just before Covid times, my wife and I flew out to the Bay Area for two weddings. I had a car waiting for us at an off-site park-and-ride lot.

While getting the car, I’m feeling like I’d been there before.

Then I saw it: Down the block, I could see Rob’s shop. 

“Hey, Rob, up for another drop-in visit?”
