Thanks to everyone for making Dec 15th AutoX a great event!

A place to hang out and discuss all things Porsche.

I remember David and I were standing at the start line and Sheila pulled up in the 32 car. She complained bitterly about the seat not wanting to slide correctly.

David, of course, made an "effort" to help but then said she'd just have to live with it!

I suspect that he didn't want Sheila to best his time ...

Am I correct there, Mr Gardner :nono:

Perry,

You just love putting me in the middle don't you. I'm hoping we can get a better fit for Sheila in my car. If that means she beats me in my own car, so be it. I guess that would mean I'm a better instructor than a driver. Either way is good. :lol:

I know she'll keep improving. She'll be up there with Jackie and Christy and Tammi and Jennifer. They may take the top 5 spots and chick us all. :lol:

Bad boy Perry ... to the dog house you go! :mrgreen: Hope my humor wasn't too absurd ... meant it most kindly :oops:

Actually Sheila is a great fit in your car ... you are most lucky to have her there! :D

I know how you meant it. I took it in the humor it was intended.

We need to figure out a way to make her legs longer. :lol:

How about blocks of wood on the pedals like we use to do on our bikes. That way you don't have to put her in traction everyday to lengthen her legs.

I quickly learned how that many hundreds of horsepower, plus power steering, requires a bit more finesse


welcome to my autocross world. =)

By the way, the funnest part of the day for me was standing at the start/finish grid telling people what my "made-up time" was that they'd have to beat. I loved the look on the different people faces ha ha ha hahahahha.

I believe Perry is putting words in my mouth. I think I said there's nothing we can do right now.

Thanks Perry!!!!
