This morning I drove sparky up on the transporter to be shipped to San Francisco.
They say not to love anything that can't love you back. I cried like a baby when the transporter pulled out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I'm going to miss that car! On a brighter note, last week's AX was the 6th win for this season. Even though there are five more AX's left, we have already won CSP for this year! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) .. |

Jo,
who bought it? I promise he will get his legs stretched in the SF area if the person plans to attend events in it. B |

B His name is Frank Tingley and is a member of the 914club. I hope he posts his future progress with the car. He convinced me he would be a good owner when he told me he read every post I've ever made in the garage concerning the car. He is planning on having a nice paint job done, possibly adriatic blue (which is actually the original color of the car). He doesn't autocross, so I guess Sparky will be "retired" from the AX wars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) If he shows up at one of the events you can "critique" the car for him. But please be gentle.

[/quote] [/quote] That will be awesome to see Sparky with a new coat of many colors! There is a lot of 914 talent in your vicinity. Make some new friends! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Local guys in my town like Curt Curtis, Craig Mitchell, Bob Dumont & Cory Jump were so helpful and saved my ass many times (as well as, of course, the "club"). Thanks guys! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .. |
