Its a shame about the car, but that's life.

At the end of the day, I came out of it with a slightly stiff back & a few small cuts, which considering...isn't bad at all!

I was very close to getting a set of those advans but they were gunmetal and didn't think it would look as good, looks great in gold!

Didn't see this until now... just stumbled on it. Another beauty... didn't you win a lot of prizes @ 7stock last year. I think you had a $h!tload of raffle tickets or something lol Sweet car dude, FDs that look like this are a big part of why people want these cars so bad.

Thanks Mike. Yea, I bought a lot of tickets, but I think Bern and Andy glued them all to the bottom of the barrel 'cause I didn't win squat. Maybe next year Thanks for the props. Again, in keeping with the rules, here's one more. See you again in September!!

An FD's natural environment is always the race track. Think of your's as a jungle cat in the zoo.
