I'm very happy to see such a great car in great hands. Stephen is a perfect gentleman.
World needs more people like him.
Rob and Stephen, great to have you guys around as friends and also clients. We had a great time yesterday.
The Fiats 458 challenge were making our ears bleed.

Yes, too bad I had to miss the fun at PBIR again, but I have some stomach bug that has me floored :-(. Hopefully better by tomorrow, I am signed up for Homestead Saturday.

+1 my car went to a great buyer/driver/guy!
Erik is dragging his feet on the pumpkin sale and Stephen will ship it to Vancouver after all I predict :-).

You guys are too kind. I've enjoyed meeting all members of RL from Vancouver, Seattle, and Florida IRL!

Get well Peter! I ate everything you ate @ Tues dinner. So, I'm going to blame it on the booz that hampered you. I was on the brink of getting sick, so I took it light on the sake. I am sure if I hang out more in FL, my tolerance would be in the top 1 percentile for a Chinese male.

I just drove down to Little Palm Island for dinner with the wife (super recommendation Peter!) from West Palm Beach after leaving Brazilian Court (thanks Eddie for helping me find the hotel x2!) and checking-in at the Biltmore at Coral Gables. I've put on more than 1K miles on the car in a week and am falling in love with this car.

Will chat more about Sebring Winterfest in January at Homestead this weekend w/Peter, Eddie, etc. Great to have support here for trailering the car back and forth from the tracks so I DON'T need to register it! Could be a good plan to keep it in FL or take it home.

Rob - great running together!

Here's a video of our last outing @ PBIR. I'll post earlier ones when they are uploaded. Looking forward to hearing about your 996 Cup future experiences! Enjoy!

Here's my only clean lap early on Sunday with the SmartyCam (yes, I know my poor lines, missed apexes, overcooked turn 7, no-quite straight-line braking, etc.). I was certainly a moving chicane with a 2:32 lap time. However, I am sure I knocked off at least a few seconds by day's end and cleaned up most of my early mistakes.

Will look forward to seeing how much under 2:30 I can get next time at Sebring.

I'm really trying. I have some interested parties but no one has committed yet. Can't afford the car if I don't sell my dear Pumpkin first.

Erik is asleep at the wheel. I had already tried your wife's solution and I felt great Tuesday night, it took a few oversized bottles of Sake, but I clearly did not drink enough to kill the bug.

So glad you are enjoying yourself and I also have to thank Eddie for taking over as host for me!

You had Sean Lewis there. That's cheating! Looked like fun, so crappy I missed it.

I am 100 percent sure we did a couple seconds faster on Saturday!
Nice driving though, very smooth and in control with plenty of margin for error

Stop crying, finance it for 4 weeks while you sell it. Then again, maybe Stephen just wants it more.

That's pretty cool seeing the panoramic view of that thunderstorm approaching...
