Default Looking back - 4 years of ownership *pics*

This weekend 4 years ago is when I bought my 951. Tried to re-create some of the shots of it taken back in Feb. 2001. Changed a bit since then . . . for the better I think

I don't think I've ever seen an SVX change like that either!


Very nice car. It great to see the change. Where did you get those foglight ducts? They look awesome!

Thanks!
Fog Light ducts are from AIR. There was a group buy last year on them.

The other cars and house belong to my dad. The 951 stays there because I have no room for it at my place (condo with no garage).

Here's one more shot

Ahh, the key question is 'have you changed for the better'???

Certainly more broke...

I think I'll be seeing that IMA windshield banner a lot in my rear view mirror...

Seriously, the car looks good.

Me too Jer... except mine is backwards. Oh wait, that's my IMA banner back there

Mike, I should have a slew of upgrades coming up soon, so don't expect to see me hugging your butt on the next Renndrive... I'll find a place to pass Congrats on the anniversary. I hope many more years of fun with the VT 951 are to come.

How are you guys, by the way? I need to give Ivan a call... haven't really had more than 5 free minutes in the past month. Just got back from the autocross setup and I'm running on 3 hours of sleep!
