Default New car has arrived

Get back from Ohio last night with the new beast in tow.
Spent this morning de-salting, washing, and moving it into the garage.
Some of you would have laughed - I have to keep repeating to myself "Remember its a track car" whenever I found a paint chip or any minor imperfection



Will be working on the car all day, getting it ready for VIR next weekend. Dorkis are welcome! 703 407 7841 if you dont know the way.

Congrats, Tony. I'm looking forward to seeing it at speed. And so far, the weather report is excellent for next weekend at VIR!

Was thinking 'what hope of VIR next weekend' as we slogged through the snow & ice on the way back yesterday. Will be great if we can catch a break with the weather.

I think we have Bill, Charlie, and maybe Chris. Any others?

I crawl out of bed this morning, get my coffee and find Leslie watching the news. The first thing she says is 'would Tony have been driving his race car around early this morning?' I answer 'no' because (1) it's a race car and (2) Tony doesn't like getting up early in the morning. 'Well' she replies. 'Someone off is the distance [she points in the general direction of the Kelly household] was driving something around that sounded just like your car.'

Tony: Awesome! Glad to hear your new car is home. You'll definately find me lurking nearby this week. And if it was you this morning, that bad boy must be loud enough!

It will be the only track car that looks better at 2 feet than 10. . . . looks sweet Tony.

Congrats on the safe delivery and I see there is just enough white on the car to remind you of 999

Have fun at VIR next weekend ... we look forward to a full report.

Congratulations on your new car, but you need to delete "85 Carrera" from your signature. You are no longer worthy.
