| Re: Can-Am and F5000
Back home after a great day, no crowds, lots of pics. May take me a few days to post much. Looks like the second Shadow Can-am and the F5000 Shadow didnt show. Poo. But the one that was there appeared to be kicking butt !
Freeman and Howard - It would be great to hook up, but the girl wants to put in an all day bike ride tomorrow (how do I get roped into these things?!) and to tell the truth I got an excellent fill today, so I'm good. Sorry I won't be back this weekend, you boys have a good time and talk a bunch of SLC smack jack!
On an SLC note - I don't know if any of you guys followed a Canadian guy's efforts at installing a BMW V12 into an Ultima. This guy used it to try and claim the worlds best/fastest street car competition a few years back. The day that competition ended he parked the Ultima and has gone vintage, he now runs the Jerobee Mclaren BBC. I didnt know who he was when - we started talking about Jerobees (of all things), we later realised we had emailed back and forth on his V12 project years ago. Anyway, he is familiar with the SLC and was very interested to know I have one on the way, he had nothing but good things to say about the specs on the car. Another interesting note - he said the chassis on the Ultima was "a piece of crap","nowhere near stiff enough".
