Default it's here

got RS today.
i dont own a camera and i dont know how to use the one on my f'k phone.
so you'll have to see the link. but it's just a no option orange car.

it did come with mpsc.
put 50 miles on it. drove home in very heavy traffic.
clutch isn't that heavy.
lwfw rattles, but i was hoping it would rattle more, like a cup car.

not properly aligned yet, but the car feels heavy, and the steering wheel is way too big way way too big. did i mention the str wheel is BIG?

windows down up to 6k rpm, not loud enough. will try 8k rpm tomorrow.

now got to go appease the wife. dont think she knows i bought a car YET.

"... just a no option orange car" You are too much !

Bigger steering wheel is a throw back to the old days when the driver needed the leverage. Wood steering wheel is next.

Great line, I'm still laughing. I went to Le Mans last summer and one of the guys I was with had 14 motorcycles...his wife knew about three of them!

I love that lwfw rattling, btw. As far as trying 8k tomorrow, so much for the break in period! I've kept mine under 5K and have 800 miles so far. It's killing me!

the motorcycle guy you met must be my long lost brother.

i like the fw rattle too, but noiser would be nice. that way my wife will think the car is cheaply made.

break in period? that went out the window as soon as i got out the parking lot. no wonder the car smells so bad in the garage now.

Ha, ha, stormed the dealer 15mins after it rolled off the truck. You must have had Carlsen under surveillance and been in a circling pattern. Congrats Of course we'll need a blow by blow description as you prep her for life as a track harlot.

Went by Tony's earlier this week looking for it... guess I beat the truck.
When does the cage go in?

Looks much betta than the Loti IMHO.

yeah, i had carlsen surveillanced all right.

i was at tony's today as lotus had some mishaps. someone decided to hit and run while i was buying some tools at sears (the store, not track). came out the front left looked SAD.

GT3 goes to tony for alignment next week.

not sure when cage will be done, he's busy.

4ngcrcs, you coming to NCRC next weekend? did tony stuff my bar in your car yet?
