The plan was on building something light & reliable... OR... something already stripped out light, fully caged and ready for a driver with a helmet and Hans device. But knowing me... I'll probably change my mind by next week.

it's ok. sometimes i buy a car, change my mind while it's being tranposrted. sell it before transport arrives my house and buy another.

othertimes i sell a car, it's being transported, then call buyer to buy it back before transport gets to him.

it's ok... insanity is good.

Don't worry, you are in the right place, we are like AA and all like minded (read... insane lol)...only we make the addiction worse by pouring fuel on the fire

As I, and most here, we regret selling and end up right back worshiping to the alter of the almighty Mezger. I won't make that same mistake again.........
