In the US for garage queens I rather invest in American muscle cars. Bigger market. Mike

LOL! So Paul when are you coming back out?

Mike, you got any track days coming up? I'll be at TH for all the TMR and HOD events. Still debating on TMR's Infineon event. Sorry i missed out on Green Flag and the NCRC race. I had a wedding Saturday and NCRC was full!

I drive the CGT around for fun runs, etc., the GT3RS is more for track use now (cup car breaks, lowered, GT2 sway bar, etc.).

I've been out, we're just not crossing paths. I'll be at TH at the AMG event this month and Nov 15/16 at TH with HOD.

Awesome! Which run group for the HOD event? I assume you're bringing the RS?

Hey Colby- how's it going? I did not know u were getting married. My advice- NO!!!! : ). My schedule for track is iffy. For Nov- either the TMR 7/8(fri/sat) or HOD 15/16( abit conservative even in race grp but still great bunch of guys). As for december - if I can work out my schedule I like to go with NCRC Dec 1st(only $99) with exhibition race so we'll see. Regards. Mike PS- work yourself up to the ncrc exhibition race I had tons of fun times 10.

Ya, i'll be there for the rest of TMR's events. Not sure i want to run with HOD anymore but track time is track time so.

Holy smokes! $99 for that Monday?! That means it would be only be $50 for me. LOL! At that price i think i can miss one day of school.

Me racing? Ya right. Organizations just barely let me run in open passing run groups as it is. And i'm slow! LOL! The only thing i'd be good for is serving as a blockade for cars faster than you guys. Hopefully this time next year though!

$600,000 in cars and that's the best garage you can afford?

I know Hillsborough is expensive but really.

Then this must be how the house garage looks:
"personal club house with climate control"

The colors looks great! Do you use the F430 as daily driver? If yes it is a really cool daily driver.
