I'm not into alternative history or anything but if Stig had that car he might have beat the Audis. Sickening, just sickening.......... my heart aches!

Yeah, it really seemed to come together nicely this weekend, quite pleased. Alas there is still a nice list of things to finish including:

-Make hood
-Pickup a passenger side door from the junkyard
-Paint doors/trunk/hood
-Install bumpers (anybody have a spare rear bumper they want to donate?)
-Build complete exhaust system
-Build skid plate
-Mount underbody protection panels
-Full alignment

I just checked the entry list for STPR and it is up to 19 entries, including a fierce 1986 Dodge Conquest in Group 5! As of now, they are the lone Group 5er.

Ah, I just checked and they are Canadians.....phew

Luke -- I don't know what you do for a living, but you should go work for someone like Vermont SportsCar...

Postby **Jordan** » Thu May 15, 2008 11:49 am

You might giggle if you found out where Luke actually works.
