I'll admit, it takes a lot for a dealer or restoration and repair shop to impress me. After filming the likes of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and covering events like the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , it tends to take something truly special for an automotive shop to stand out - but whether it was their attitude and appreciation of cars or the vehicles present themselves, Bavarian Rocket Science in Albany, NY, very much did. BRS, despite functioning as a fully-operational and very capable shop for modern German daily drivers and weekend toys, also has a talent for troubleshooting and mechanical restorations for German cars as varied as 356 racers and Ruf RGTs; while I was there, they had projects including manual 928s, 911 and 944 track cars (including their very cool and very loud 2.7RS racer), vintage performance VWs, modern Audis, E36 M3s, and the aforementioned all-original 356, complete with thirty years of barn-bound patina.

Enjoy the video above, and be sure to turn up the speakers for the Carrera 2.7RS race car. And stay tuned for some more videos in the next few weeks (including another Real Drivers video I shot yesterday).

Very much enjoyed I had heard good things about these gentlemen. If you found them compelling I implore you to visit Cantech in Syracuse, as they are also heavily involved in race prep and the whole spectrum of euro and exotics, helmed by a 2nd generation Italian craftsman.

Checkout the '69 911S we just rebuilt for a local client for vintage racing and has one of the most amazing detached garages I've ever seen, it was like a lil chunk of Jay Leno's garage but with a mahogany office desk in the middle. The talent are all kart racers, scca wheelmen, drifters even and just plain old-world motorsport savants.

Yeap and I always got the best toys... no one ever seemed to complain.

Were you the angry kid someone forgot to invite? The pics are big, I talk a lot and I love my area, but I'll remember to PM him next time...
