Its fine. I have always been quiet about the running ones and loud about the ones I take apart. I have had two working and running well 928s in the last 2 years. I just didn't talk much. But when the 78 is done, I'll expect those comments to change to "So, how does it feel to have one of the highest HP stock engined 928s brendan?"

Hooraaah for Miata power...

See my sig regarding Miata's

. Sounds like you've never driven a kart before. There is really no comparison & you should attend this event & find out why.

As I recall, you got to see my expression twice in quick succession. First, the discouragement in seeing you pass me; however, the disappointment was for the briefest of moments as the front and rear of your kart quickly switched orientation (coincidence?) and I regained the lead (and my elation). Now that I think about it, in the panic of spinning out of control, you might not have had a chance to take in that second emotional state. Sort of like the amnesia people often get following tramautic accidents.

Anyway, In.
