Ok Geoff I am heading up to the Cheseapeake Bay today to get the cottage cleaned up and shut up for the winter so you have a nice somewhat clean place to visit next summer
After saying in an earlier post I was going stripper fishing I want everybody to know it was a screw up in a prepared post/joke and I ment to say I was going striper fishing at the bay bridge tunnel and never intended to insult strippers or such a magnificant fish

I've put more miles on my car in the past 3 months than in the prior 3 years. It's pretty much been a daily driver this summer! I've loved every minute of it. It seems that my hesitation issue has pretty much gone away... At least it was yesterday! I noticed while I was sitting at a stop light that when I blapped the throttle it would rev instantly instead of having that slight hesitation that used to always **** me off. Could have something to do with the intake cleaning to I suppose.

It's resume update day for me... I haven't really needed one for 10 years. That and I need to make a few phone calls. Ahhhh... the stuff we must do while waiting to hit the lottery.

Need time!!!! Got to pull off the "DE" wheels / tires and brakes. Put on the "new" hot-wire air intake last week and need to run the SCANTOOL to check it out.

Tomorrow, we are going to a Sheltie Rescue, 100 miles away to pick up a "sister" for ourlittle guy - Bocce. Hope that she likes the P-car as much! Yea - the back seats are done in lovely tan and white.

Looking forward to being able to get back into my car - got rear ended on the motorway (freeway) in my BMW on the way to work a couple of weeks ago, resultant whiplash and back ache meant I had no chance of even getting in, let alone driving! And don't get me started on Indian call centres - grrr!

Took my (first,only) 911 to the track for the first time today at Laguna Seca. It was awesome, pushing a 911 to the limit, and to see my hard work on it over the last YEAR pay off. I definitely would have done better lap times in a Spec Miata, but I learned firsthand today how huge a difference that racing tires and a little lower stance make. I now know the next accessory - a set of 7.5/9x17 rims shod with RA-1s, Hoosiers, or Hankooks, for play days.

Now if I can just figure out a way to haul the wheels in a cabriolet....

There was a GT running there too - that thing sounds so damn cool. Lucky sperm club bastard.

Last week, I bought and fitted a cat bypass on my RS America (already has the secondary bypass). Loved the louder exhaust sound. Then I put the original cat back on to pass emissions this week (passed fine) but I was spoiled by the louder more aggressive sound. Now with the cat back on it, to me, it sounds way too tame. Funny how your perspective changes so quickly. Tomorrow, I'll put the bypass back on. Maybe I'll even try a primary bypass too. The neighbors will love that....

Just got the car back from the (new) shop. I will update my other thread but suffice to say I am really happy now. I will be at Laguna Seca tomorrow, and TH on Monday putting in some seat time.
