It almost makes me ill that my life status as a 24/7 nanny won't allow the obtaining and enjoyment of Rob's last build. Look up the build thread on this car. Drool. Buy. Never yet raced zero miles build. Buy it before your fun life takes a permanent shit. A crazy bargain here. I pushed my Honda arou...

A few years ago I asked les about this cool race car. He was very polite but accurate in suggesting I probably wouldn't fit in it True. Much less chance today. A fun VW project that isn't a Miata cart and light enough to tow with Lorens pickup.

I went to Jamaica 50 years ago when they still had public hangings. They probably still do. Awesome climate with the tradewinds.

Hint. Your Registration button took me to a very weird place. The above works.

I was under the impression I was co-driving with The Mayor, but he hasn't signed up yet. As such, I might need to call in a raincheck from one of you generous souls who've offered to share your car... Time will tell. Sorry Steve. I had high hopes like the Boeing Space Capsule. Got into orbit quickl...

If you'd like to pay me 10 bucks to show the Old Bat how it's done, I'm in. :whip: My codriver won't be around 12/28 - I'll be looking for a ride that day, unless you'll be around and are tired of that big ol' heavy wallet that I can lighten up for you a bit? Okay. We were originally just going to ...

Well that sure came out of left field. (::) Steve, It's time for you to find the $10 bill under the windshield wiper again. :lust: Rules: We both run with the Old Bat but you and I run in Heats where the old Bat (wife) rides with you when I'm working and she rides with me otherwise because you don'...

Dudes. It's a ball park. Bring an old bat with you if you think you can win.

The bump marked in blue is neat. The really slow area is marked with a 4. This means for AWD is useless area. Only patience required 4 U.

Avoid bumps with stiff springs. Cute lady will point at you.

Kind of weird that they put so many people in large index classes and basically screwed them.
A few well know people did very well in normal classes.

I'll KEEP fixing the Miata and keep driving it, thanks.

There fixed that typo for you. It's much better to look good than to run good.

Loren wrote:Have I mentioned that I hate this car?
It felt really good driving TO the parts store, at least.

You drove the unreliable car to the parts store? A guy out here collects blown Skidoos, fills them with dirt and puts them in his yard as ornamental planters.

You've got the doors too stiff now.

Most people drive a lot faster in other people's cars simply because they don't have to fix them or know the car's limits yet. (They always find limits given 2 runs.) The Professor drives even faster when he is driving your car with you in it and he will talk you thru the whole damned course while c...

Not to worry as I have met deductible for medical insurance all ready this year :wise: Let the games begin. I did over 1100 continuous hops on one as a kid just because.

I think I've found my calling.

Yep. That lasted about a week. Loren is a veryientertaining man.


**Having another one of my spells.

Considering the amount of work you did on this car it looks really good. ALL that you have described are why I will never paint a car again unless it's with rattle cans flat black or with some of that power wash off crap. Hopefully you have a gravity feed spray gun. I had to use an old siphon design...
