It looks like you'll need a new license plate.... or are you planning a colour change, ala Chris R?



Safe drive!


ps: Chris... Tricks are for kids!
Peter, they make a cool carbon fiber vinyl, matte green, matte white....
Here is a pic of my buddy's car (he works for Kw and I took this pic last month in Vegas after SEMA)

An ounce of prevention...

Got up at 6, snow and wind, went back to bed and set 10 as the go-no-go time.
Forecast is for clearing conditions but the wind is still pretty stiff, and the 401 can be pretty treacherous with lake-effect snow. Normally wouldn't care, but with the valuable load...

Tuesday it is then.

PS Too bad about the JELLI BN, don't think they make silver ones. I have something else in mind...

Probably not bad at either end, but who knows what the middle of the drive holds.

Gonna help with the Christmas baking and make a deposit in the "goodwill" account

what's all that white stuff on your car?

baking??? dude, try not to burn down your house. that would ruin your car budget. everytime i cook, fire alarm goes off. funny though the fire station is about 300 feet from my house and my house WAS the fire station before i bought it.

Finally got home with the car at 10 tonight (left at 6 this morning).
Good thing I didn't go Saturday, friends of a friend drove to Kingston on Sat, which is half way between here and where the car was, and there were at least half a dozen cars in the ditch.

Ok Babe, let's go home...

Now on the other hand, since I don't own a GT3 (yet), I can offer you some advice cause !'m not a GT3 Bully like the other 3!


-Buy the CCW 18's and sell the Hoho tires to
Chris, he's going to need them next year with the motons

-Buy Mooty's doors, right color

-while the open trailex is nice, an enclosed is Great. Trade in the open to Chris and get the enclosed, it allready knows your car very well

-start off with nitto's, then move to cups when you get to know the car

-Then............. guard LS, motons, Hoho tires, strip it out like mooty's and finally a cup gear box.

-Then buy a Cup car, radical and a stacker.

That should get you through 2 years of tracking. Good luck with the car

Cheers,
Geoff
Damn all of you.
Even though I just bought motons, springs, monoballs, etc... it's all packaged up waiting for spring.
In the meantime I'm still shopping for (and *very* tempted by) a couple 6GT3's out there....

must resist.

Yeah I know, but "this ain't no garage queen", plus after 6 hours of riding on a trailer in the rain yesterday, it's pretty filthy. What I'm trying to say is that, until they put salt on the roads, I'll be driving it. As the previous owner told me, "no accidents, but a nice track patina". Now I know what he meant, lol.

Also, although lots of tread on the tires, they are from 2004, so I need to cord them or something, so that I can get a new set
