Jack,

Congrats on the coverage. Always nice to see clean FDs representing the rotary community well. If I ever make it back east, I will look you guys up in NOLA.

Nice feature, my car was on that blog before also. They have a good facebook page too.

Ps: your water temps are extremely high, gotta look into that.

Thanks for the kind words. I try to avoid bringing it out in the rain but the shoot was arranged in advance and it was their last day in town.

No worries about coolant temp, the car was shutoff in the midddle of summer. Start up the Evans coolant will come down to the high 80-C's in a few minutes during 100-F weather.

Do you have any numbers?

Congrats!

Awesome Jack, great job representing all of us rotary nuts with a fast, tastefully modified FD

Props to Jonathan (Mr. Sexay hisself) of Gorilla RE for aiding in the build of such a fine machine

P.S. I'm a recent convert to Evans and haven't looked back since
