Paul Just shipped me these wondering if they will work OK being used and all?


Should I wrap them? they are coated wondering if I would hurt the coating if I spruced them up a bit with some paint? or wrap?

Can't wait to install them..


Thanks Paul I owe you and I will pay

Probably not safe to use, I'll give you an address for proper disposal.

I'd wrap them over painting personally...

Put me in line if you don't want them.

If they are coated don't wrap them. That's a waste. You can probably paint them, but find out what the coating is and do some homework to make sure that you aren't going to hurt the coating.

Hey Buddy did you have to go back to Sweden because of the two speeding tickets you received on just one sightseeing trip?

I remember you where just slightly pissed not so much for the tickets or the speed they clocked you at over 160?? in a 928??...You where pissed because you where using a VALENTINE 1 and they still nailed you....

As a side note I like your latest avatar your last one made you look like you belonged in the wanted section of the post office..

take care,

I am not sure if the speed and car model is spot on, but I did get caught using a Valentine 1 a few times and learned that it was useless unless going just a tiny bit over the limit... If I travelled at my normal pace it was worthless.

It was a 944S2 and I brought it down from 140-ish when I saw the NHP and he clocked me at 99 mph on that ticket.. Was back in Nevada and got clocked legally at 205 mph in August 2006, in the passenger seat though..

Didn't go home because of that, I got a good job offer in Sweden.

Btw, highway driving in Sweden is great. I cruised from Stockholm to Malmö yesterday and the speedo was sitting in the 160-180 km/h area for hours on end.

And people actually get out of your way and don't drive slow in the fast lane!

**Sorry to hijack** Hey Sweanders, did you recently participate in that Dunlop amateur driving competition -- Drivers Cup or something like that? Your helmet/cart look identical to that in the picture of my Road and Track article...j/w. That would be cool.

...not that nobody else uses that particular helmet or cart, but it would still be neat. I'm thinking of applying for it; I've got all the skills
