Nice Greg that's a neat little back up,car! So what's with the Nomad title, did you sell it or trade it in? I knew I should have bought that car when you offered it to me

Well -- I've had the car since 1998 --- done two chassis -- and 5 motors - and a couple different trannys in the car.... I've done just about everything a guy could do in and with it.... and I haven't driven it except to get gas - for like 2 years.... Sail it or Sell it.

When I "accidentally" bought the Lotus - I called my buddy of some 25 years that's a car dealer here in Portland and told him to come get his new Nomad. He did. I left plenty of meat on the bone for him.

It's my buddy that owns the dyno.... and they're bringing TWO WOLF cars --- a Honda V-Tec car and the FIRST IN THE USA fresh from Italy - a totally carbon fiber V8 version! I, of course, turned my rig around and went straight to the pits. Apparently today is a test and tune day for a SCCA race this weekend.

I drove home -- got the title to the Nomad - some spares - a can of paint with the code - took a shower.... bought more coffee grounds from Starbucks -- and I'm back at PIR as I type this.

Picking up the MEATBALL RACING 2/11 at 10 AM.... I just couldn't let it sit at the dealer while I was in SV! So here I am!


LOL -- I'm such a putz!
Time to update the signature!... hope to see the new Lotus 2-Eleven and the Mustang back here at PIR in September. It was nice to meet you yesterday.

Hopefully you won't be seeing anymore meatball flags for a while... at least you have a back up car now

Was great to meet you too Dale! Can't believe you drove in from your vacation on the coast! But glad you did!

I've said it fifty or maybe 60 gazillion times -- best part of cars is the people you get to meet!
