Thumbs up I got a ride in the Mule

The Mule is by far the most sorted out car I've ever ridden in. Incredible. I couldn't believe how good the ride quality is considering how tight it is and how well it handles. Charlie also dropped the hammer, pulling into the triple digits. Man, I can't wait to get my turbo motor together.

Thanks for the opportunity, Charlie! And thanks for everything we did on the trip.

What Scott does not tell you is the 7800 replay on the tach was on the car since before power tour. Curt and Mark deny everything. They figure it must have done that during the dyno pull in 1st or 2nd..It has survived 3 Power Tours now. Now Jody and Scott have a pretty good idea of how a trip like that really finds the weak links in your car. I had fun..Sorry about the ticket....

Very nice car, huh? I told you it was. Must be better with the turbos. I almost sat in it once. That's when I found out just how down to earth Charley really is. Amazing car now. You're a lucky guy. I'm glad you had fun on the trip. I can't wait to make it once myself.

That picture is for Kurt.

I'm not sure what kind of rpm you turned, I'm guessing about 6k. It was awesome.

I don't think I turned it that high. I'm claiming the fifth.
Charley had the car turned down for the "Tour". You just tried about 8psi, you won't believe how it feels when you double that!!

Kurt, you've got that right! By the way, it was a real pleasure meeting and hanging with you on the Tour. Excellent and entertaining stories and help when we needed it. Thanks a lot!
