Please do your research about this car if you don't know much about it. Its a fun car to drive I just don't have the time or money to keep up with the high maintenance. This is currently my daily driver. I drive it from waldorf to Andrews afb almost every day. I am looking to trade it for something more pratical. I'll entertain all trade offers. It must run and drive. I have done alot of work to the car just call, email or text and ill tell you everything about it.
The bad list --
--Power steering belt off due to the rack leaking the rebuild kit is $40 havent had the time.
-odometer is broken (common issue with this car stopped at 120k about 6k ago)
--Paint has some defects but not bad for age
-crack in lower left corner of windshield not visible from inside.
-one crack on driver seat leather. Is patched
THE GOOD!--
YOU WONT FIND RUST HERE--body is made of aluminum so you won't find any body rust probably ever
-Interior is in good shape has mostly been recovered. These cars are known for cracked leather and plastic at this age.
-The engine runs great, -has a very nice sounding full stainless exhaust (headers back welded not bolted)
-Power windows, driver seat, moon roof, mirrors and rear hatch lock all work great
-Rear tires like new
-clutch is fairly new and shifts great all gears
-No engine/warning lights
If you have any more questions please call, text, email- 240-595-818one any time

Highlights include their version of Collin yelling, "STOP! STOP!" and then the two guys spooning at the end.

Greg, there's ample opportunity for many PCA-kart-enduro jokes to be inserted here. I've learned my lesson though, so I'll refrain from making any. See you this weekend at the races, I'll swing by and say hello. Which run group is SRF? I know Sunday's race order is reversed...

Another 356 at SVRA event in Indy.

Yenko attempts low % pass at 9:24 and meets Mr. 356.

Eventually lets go at 11:20.

Similar to the Glen for me. The 356 by anybody's rules had the corner and the Yenko should have backed off, but there was no reason for the 356 to come in so tight to the corner if he knew the Yenko was around. Yenko was at fault. Either car could have avoided it.

We're Group 6 so I am anticipating a pre-lunch race on Sunday. I'll be there tomorrow knocking the rust off me and the car.

Not sure exactly where this belongs. Ireland's PSA on speeding....
