Not sure how many of you remember the thread on this...
Someone that races in 'No Grip Racing', which I assume is an online racing site, created a replica of Huey to race with.

Here's a link to the page: http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=14708

Here are a few of the screen shots he made. VERY cool.!

You know, win or lose this has been fun.
It's made us go back and relive some of the history of Huey: from where he started, to the initial build and all the work and late hours we put in, to the events, more hours, the wreck (ok, that's not fun) and the subsuquent rebuild...then all the work to get it to run correctly...to what we have now which is such a fun car to drive.

Huey and our adventures have been written up in:
Porsche Panorama
Excellence
Autobahn Ambition online magazine
Carolinas Region Tobacco Roads
Peachstate Presse
We got mention in Grassroots Motorsports and BMW Roundel

and this guy recreated him for a video game....how cool is that!

This little car has added a lot to our lives, some a bit sad and frustrating, but mostly fun and enjoyment. I cant' even begin to think about how much money we've put into him. headbang.gif

we take him to every event we can, we now autocross him more (now that we got some A6 tires!!) and we love to share him with everyone that appreciates the hard work and countless hours that goes into this addiction.

Huey and Papa Smurf are part of our family. Nadine and I routinely refer to them as our kids: I'll be working on them in the garage and Nadine will come out asking 'so, how are the kids doing?'.

If he wins COTM, we would be honored. If not, so be it - maybe we'll be nominated again. But thanks to whoever nominated him, it's forced us to go back and look at how far this little guy has come! beerchug.gif

(btw, this is my post #700!!)

If you didn't vote for Huey, then set up a new account and vote for him this time! biggrin.gif

Huey was dead. Came back from the dead. Died again. Revived again. If you haven't seen the car in person, then add it to one of the things to do before you die.

It's fast, great looking, and in it's presence, you feel ALIVE AGAIN>

Vote and Vote twice.

Just an observation. It is pretty odd to get a perfect bell curve on a randomly selected group. Cool that it happened here. If the order had happened any other way, the graph would not have been bell curve.

I was noticing and watching the bell curve as well. agree.gif That's actually why I was checking this thread again just now, was to see if it was still there.

That means my car sucks worse of all....

Hi Everyone, Just read this tread and I'm happy someone thought I might be worthy of being one of the five. I had eye surgery Tuesday and been limited to reading, I'm just glad to haveing my car running. the picture posted was my first run after sitting on stands for a year and a half, its a product of McMarks help and a new 2056 from Mark. It drove from the Bay Area to Sacremento and then the back roads to Tahoe for the WCC Ramble 2010, and then for the next three days around Tahoe and then home without a hickup. It's just waiting to come and play this spring. I wish I had more pic's to give a better profile, but I'm not a photo bug. Randy(RoadGlue) had the best that I can remenber hope he will post a few more. Thanks to all that have voted. John flag.gif

Well it looks like we're coming to the end of the voiting--John you deserve the title, your car is beautiful. first.gif This has been fun, a great way to celebrate the uniqueness of our cars--it's always better when all five of the cars are equally nice in thier own right. Thank you for all the votes and kind words.

Black cars are hard to beat, so John happy11.gif --this is my last shot, my teener on the Streets of Willow Springs.

I voted for you too. That car has been around here for a long time and, if anything, it just keeps looking better.
Usually my vote is the kiss of death but I figure your safe now.
