"Interested" is a very serious understatement. I was barely able to sleep last night due to anticipation!!!

I'll be there tonight in the above pictured black FC too!

Oh that was you? I was hanging around it to try and meet the owner but he never showed up. I saw you as you were driving away, but that's pretty much it... Lol...

The Lotus owner was the old guy, probably the oldest looking guy there with silver hair, fairly tall. As far as the twins go... No clue... Never heard it mentioned.

AND I RODE HOME IN A NEW CAR!!!

The owner of the lotius is named, cool guy, and he dores actually track the car at VIR and Summit point.
Not sure about the twins, maybe someone meant the two silver FD's?

Yes that's what was meant.

I was around my car most of the time, i had jeans and a light blue shirt on. Wanted to stay longer but my friend had to go get his g/f some food. Next time im there shell be a lot cleaner though. I just didn't have the time with everything i was doing.


Also kinda off topic, Has anyone herd of a school called Richmond Technical. They're supposed to be a school on body work and supposed to do paint for free (i assume just labor). So when i get the chance, if they will, get my FC painted there. The pealing patches of paint aren't looking too sexy.

Actually she made it home just fine, never got above halfway, and I even put my foot in it during the last little leg.

As far as Richmond Tech goes, I've never heard specifically of that campus, but I know there is a Chesterfield tech that does pretty much the same stuff. I was entertaining the same idea a while ago of donating my car for them to be "educated on" but when I started looking into it, I heard all these nightmare stories of the kids actually stealing stuff out of the cars, and having them being vandalized at nights and stuff. That's the reason they pretty much just use junk, no owner vehicles.

Lol... I knew you'd forget. I'm in NC this week remember? I know I told you because it directly addressed the plates situation. If you'd like you can pick them up from my house? (Where I will not be... but my cousin is there...) I WILL be at the August 22nd meet FOR SURE, if for no other reason than to give you back said plates...

Sorry man...

Wish I could be there...

And I expect full documentation (including pictures whenever possible!) of significant "Cool Cars."

OH!! BTW!! Can't believe I somehow forgot this, I totally tagged a white S15 that I've NEVER seen before leaving the Midlothian Best Buy on Saturday, just before I left for vacation! Check it out!



So that makes at least three of these things running around the Richmond area... Weird isn't it??? Like of all places... Why Richmond VA???

Dave, what format will it be in? I'm assuming PDF...
