Hey all,
You guys that build your own cars don't know what a lonely vigil it can be in those last few days before completion for those of us who do not have your skills.
Sure...all the guys that have the skills are working on the car...and of course they lets me sit by the end of the car with my helment on going "Vrooom, vrooom" while they rush around doing important things...but I see those sideways glances...I see those shaking heads...I know what they're thinking.
Smiles to ya, Buzz |

Buzz, Don't let your throttle go down. All those builders are going to be jealous because " it is more fun to drive than to turn a wrench ". Don't forget that life begins at 40. I was one of the lucky ones, I only had to wait for 4 days after everything was ready to install.

Wow, this thing has so much torque, and it isn't even running!!!
Hey, are you guys done tightening those engine mounts yet?
Heh, I can almost see my reflection.
Go sit in the corner? I should get in trouble more often.

I've seen all sorts of things in this emergency room, toys, vacuum cleaners, bottles, gerbils, but this takes the cake my friend...

I know I haven't got a clue about engineering, and I know that this one lap race is super-competitive, but do we really need a pair of chromed machine guns poking out the back panel...? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] | |

Where's the foetus going to gestate? Are you going to keep it in a box?
