Thumbs up The prodigal son has returned

After 3600+ miles round trip in 2 days from California to Arizona, New Mexico and finally Texas, the prodigal son has return home! We, along with older sibling RS welcome the little Cup brother with full embrace. We will celebrate tonight (after I get some sleep) with fatten cow. He has wonder far from home and got few tattoos and piercing but we still love him none the less.

Glen meet me at MRC track and show me how to drive the sequential. He also took me on the track in his AMG black series so I can be familiar with the circuit. You can't find a nicer person and I learn tons from him. Keep in mind this is not Glen's Cup car. He is doing this for me and the seller (his good friend). If you are looking for a Cup car ... Glen is the man to hook up with and he will guide you the right direction. Thanks a million Glen


Here are couple pictures and video from the trip. It was "interesting" when I had to drive up my steep driveway in the Cup.

He is home!

What? You were in Dallas? Man, I wish I would have known, Red Baron (from m3f) and I would have loved to grab a beer or two with you! Hell, it would have been an honor if you crashed my place (and worked on my Turbo and his M3).

Anyway, congrats on the new acquisition! It's fracking cold over here, I hope the weather at MSR-C held up for your test drive around the track!

Michael.
