To be honest, I really don't like to drive his car. It's fun on the top end and taking a sharp corner, but forget trying to figure out the controls. Not user friendly.
You guys should come to the meet I am putting together at the Rose Bowl in March. He travels due to his job so he couldn't make it to the last couple of meets. I am going to have him work out his schedule to be able to show up to this one. I know he would get off on showing you guys his car.
Watch for the thread coming this week under events.

. If he's any good, tell him to take that thing up to the Malibu Canyons. I know a guy who runs up there with his crew once a week - theyre a good group. Anyway, glad to hear you guys are around, maybe we'll get to run sometime soon.

I have a weak stomach for turns so I don't go that often with him. Those guys get pretty crazy. I wonder if he is friends with the guy that you know? He also does that run with his friends. This world just gets smaller and smaller. Come to the meet I would love to meet you.
Ive got a buddy who, like me, is obsessed with anything that has to do with these type of cars. When he hears about this he'll flip for sure. Mind if he comes too?
