Hey Steve...no skiing this year, wasnt in the cards -
Car is great, better than great...loving it, I have days when i miss the 996 for sure, but I never have a day I am not glad I have the 86'
GTG would be great....Tap House in Bellevue has like 200 beers on tap, we could sample them - but not a good "car guy" spot....XXX meet last weekend, did anyone go, we had 3" of snow!
if you guys set up a day email me at (my user ID)@msn.com
Cheers !!

driving by waving - Hi ya all!!!
first DE at the worlds newest track last Saturday - Our chapter of the PCA was the first ever DE to be held here and all in all it went great.
as for me, I was able to run 4 sessions - then we held an "open session" which filled up fast but after about 1/2 hour thinned out a tad...I went out and drove for nearly an hour - really found the line, the a strange thing happened....I noticed I wasnt passing or being passed.....came to the realization I was the only car on track...for 30 minutes I ran the track completely alone
talk about fun - on one hand I would have enjoyed a friend to "play with" but it was so cool just completely focused on myself....the time was very beneficial to learning to let the car really go and keep the momentum rolling...removed some of my downshifts and just rolled though, amazing amount of grip - Padig pads and although I was still running my street tires - they didnt fade too bad till later in my session - but I just let them howl!!!
See some of you in a week!

HAHA James! the hand out the window is because I am making an airplane wing and testing LIFT - Good to see you Ferd, Mark - and sorry Ed....it aint all about YOU !!
as for the stance I could drop it a little more but after corner balance dont want to re-pay for that little twist of the screws (yikes!)
These go on for the next DE - it will change the look a lot, but more important...the corner speeds should go WAY UP

yes in deed
not exactly the wheels I wanted - but you know how that leather thing in your back pocket has a way of making what you want and what you get look very different
