I love it when a plan comes together

Mark Tyler at Qualtech/Victory Racepaint has another very satisfied SDR member. I threw my car at him with the express caveat that I couldn't miss any track days. He and his crew came thru big-time. They hung the body and painted it with some time to spare. They worked some long nights and weekends to make sure the job was done. If nothing else, it should make me faster, I don't need anyone throwing rocks at me on the track :wink:

Well I'll certainly be able to recognize you in my mirrors with that red tongue thing. Are you going to LVMS or WSIR?

So last night I'm sitting in my favorite bar at The Ivy overlooking the Santa Monica pier having one of their infamous margaritas, when the bartender turns to the guy 60ish guy next to me who apparently just bought a new 997 TTS. He points to me and tells him that I race a GT3 Cup. So this guy turns and asks me if I know his old high school buddy who now lives in San Diego and races some kind of yellow bee type of Porsche. He said his old friends name was John Payne. Honest to bleeping God I started laughing and just couldn't stop. So I called Payne on his cell and handed the phone to this guy. They chatted for 15 minutes or so catching up and agreed to meet for lunch next weekend before the POC dinner. Small bleeping world! Afterwards the guy said Payne was a $&^%$ back then too.....

JC I saw it over at the Hansen's muffler while Kevin was dialing in the straight pipes.
Looks great in the bright sun, those pictures are too dark, be fun to see how your yellow compares to the bee side by side.
What if the Bee looks orange next to yours? What would we call it then? :wink:

JP's a sharp guy I never doubted he had some High Shcool.
Ever seen his high school? :wink: :D

Jim,
I think your earlier characterization of me as "McGoo" was more accurate :lol: . Cro-Magnon Man? No!!!
And Mike, that was not my High School!
That was the college I attended!
:roll:
Thanks for the laff.
Now can we please get back to admiring Jim's lip?

I just got repremanded by the administrator for the use of wussy (sp) in my original post. It said it was OK to use another feminine term such as little girl or wimp. So JP, which do you prefer?

What in bleep happened to your football team today???
