we all done that.
i changed jobs, so had to temper the addiction for a while.
i stopped tracking for a year, but i was turning up at most trackdays just taking photos and timing people. i couldn't keep away from the place. just driving around the perimeter rd approaching track entrance would give me goosebumps. people with glazed eyes would ask, "why aren't you driving, today?", and i would give them the "i'll be back" story....and go sob in the corner.
it's a tough addiction to break, i don't think i can do it. i try to be positive, but petrol just flows through my veins. i can't deny my passion.

GOOD LUCK, DELL!

I can say 100% that it is not a RS. The wife loved the RS but we just couldn't pull the trigger on writing a 100K check.
