Don't bother weeding!!! Post em all!
I got my car back... so dirty and I think they hit my front lip on a tire or something because there's a black line that can be scrapped off. Rims on next week!

That was a great day.
It didn't start off well, between the massive traffic jam on Highway 401, and the fact that the track was damn cold and my shit tires were sliding all over the place on an unfamiliar track on the first session.
But as the day progressed, so did the fun factor.
I had a "bit" of an incident. Tank slapping through the grass after the chicane. Damn, they had to clean the track off after I got through with it. Only casualty is that I dinged my Amuse TI exhaust, but I'm already hot on the trail of people who can fix it so who cares, really?
The gymkhana was absolutely badass. Blows autocross out of the water, for the simple fact that you don't do donuts around single cones in the autocross. I had so much fun with the donuts, I did about 20 of them and to hell with the rest of the course. Had to finish off the S02's once and for all!!! Had to finally stop because both Rob and I were getting a bit dizzy at the end of it all - he was along for the ride.
But Vince takes The Hooligan Award. Turn one, Vince is cutting the wheel HARD, Mini is leaning severely on its outside wheels.
Then tire squeal. Then more tire squeal. Hammering out of turn one, Vince roasted both front tires and left a plume of tire smoke behind for the next guy to ingest. Absolutely brilliant.
All in all, a great day. Total blast. Can't wait for the next one. I think the gymkhana should become a regular feature for sure.

I was the lucky one that got to breathe in that smoke! Almost couldnt' see for second. Got a good enough of a wiff to know for sure that it was burnt tire and not oil smoke.

Its all Derricks fault....
He said try this, I did and it was INSANE...took a while to get the throttle inputs correct but when I did it quit doing that heh.
I drove the wheels off....really I did
I start driving home, I start to feel a vibration. I think wha happen? I get out check the pressure, try to wiggle the wheels can't feel anything funny.
I call Albert, and he says go to my bosses shop, he'll look at it.
Get there, me if all my wheels aren't loose! I checked the torque in the morning and went on my way.
SO I'm ordering the gorilla bolts TODAY

I gotta say I like your stuff better because you can tell the car is moving, should talk to blake and see if you can get in on this sweet sweet action. You need a photo printer though.
