    The car looks great! I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it in person. My wife and kid loves it also. Great job!

    Negative. According to Dick, the GP took off. The white vehicle in the photo was the first to stop. I came by a few minutes later. After me, Celia and James from C3M stopped as well. Three minis drove by and didn't stop, before the mountain biker with the pickup truck and chain came by.

    And here I was thinking you trailered Isobell from Colorado.

    Hats off to you sir, dealing with that deafening exhaust on that drive. Damn.

    Woah those were your skidmarks, I saw them on Sunday heading out. Yikes, glad you're OK.


    I saw your car in the vendor area. Jan was trying diligently to tune it. Was he able to get it idling smoother?

    Glad to see your ABS is working with those massive Wilwood brakes while you were only going 30 mph. :rolleyes: :lol:

    I always have been more into shooting pic's for artwork... So I will take that as a compliment Zillon. :D Part of it is the camera I was using SUCKS, and my car is near impossible to get good shots of! The way it changes colors and throws the light is horrible on camera!

    CCT bring her on... I like to think of myself as a nice guy... Just dont get on my bad side. ;)

    I like the first one and the headlight shots the best out of this latest batch.

    I'm just thinking about getting the house first... Then how much of a workload I could bring in with a shop like that!

    It might be enough to just be self employed, and work on my own schedule the rest of my life... Kinda scary when you are only 31 years old! :)

    Love the looks of the outside of the house - and 1k square feet is enough. I'm currently living in 960 square feet, and the only thing I want for is a basement and a bigger garage.

    Less to clean!

    Exactly!

    If and when I get this place, I will make a dedicated thread for the remodel. A lot of the work would be contracted out, and I will be doing the finishing touches. Its just easier to pay a crew to come in and do the work so I can start a job as soon as I get down there. :)

    Probably going to add about 600 more SQ/FT in a big master suite and laundry room as well as make the two current bedrooms into one by dropping the wall.

    So much to think about, and I cant really do anything until I get done with my disability claim. :(

    Just don't pull a Gollum and live in a cave in the side of the hill, Dick.
