      Updates? I changed my oil. :) But seriously, I recently got back from the 2013 Vintage at the Vineyards meet. I had a great time as always. It was my 7th time but the last 4 times, I took my cabrio. Not this time. Since an autox and parade laps at VIR were planned, I knew that the coupe had to go. I have never done autox nor tracked the coupe so the plan was to get a GoPro to document my 1st's. What a blast! The car performed perfectly. Everything was wel balanced.

      Anyways, here are some vids. Not the greatest audio but its at least something.

      1st attempt at autox...


      2nd...


      3rd...


      And the VIR (spirited) parade lap. Not sure why the GoPro cut this clip in half but thats what happened

                  Yes, but not a happy one. I have just sold my pride and joy. :( It was really tough to see it drive away for the last time. Im going to keep this post short as its not too much fun, after all that car and i have been through, to write about. I will use its funds to focus on the cabrio and maybe another project that I have been longing for for a while. These are the last pix I took...last weekend. So long my friend.







                  Time to start a mild build for this.

                        Ha, not in the plans. Ive been in one and for the amount of work/money it would be 24v again. Its going to be S5x or nothing...so far. Who knows what I will do with the engine in the cabrio. Plans are still holding firm with new leathers and a 5spd swap. After that, not sure. the M20 is going to stay for the time being.
