So.......Who made your Engine?
While cleaning the SL55 I was polishing the engine plaque and wondered who made your's?
Mine is by Erol Kronk..........and it has been almost F40 fast and bullit proof. What about your's...............

Yeah, that was probably me abusing Warner Rd or McClintock. The F40 is the best driver's car that I have had.....for a road car. I did drive the Indycar down Warner and through the neighborhood once....but that doesn't count! The F40 is very special. I am just seeing what the market will bear. I have had it a long time, and it may be time to cash in.

Whose ride was the IndyCar? How the hell did you get it started? Must have had a few friends around! Is it converted to gasonline or is it still set up for Meth?

Awesome camera... I've got the D2Hx... great camera, but not an X!
I use the Nikkor 12-24 DX ED for the wide angle... you actually have a fisheye?
Ever take your car to DynoComp in Sdl? I was just there for a small issue with my RennTech, Ken's a great guy.
