When my exhaust tip fell off from the silencer due to age and rust in one of my car, the sound increased and actually did not seem so bad at first, but the db gets to you in the long run and started giving me a headache....

Hey Ken. I was just speaking with Seb. We were chuckling about it. It will be plenty noisy inside. All part of the experience. So, I guess the official count down to track starts today. 4 months and 2 weeks to go ....

Big thanks to Seb at Bimmershop (and Mike of course!) for helping me put my dream into action and making it a reality.

Don't forget... new track to try next year... Will it be VIR?

and I can't wait to go back to Mosport, The Glen, Calabogie and LCMT... ahh the wait will be atrocious. For you more than for me.

I think there will be few new tracks.

Mid Ohio, Grattan, Gingerman, Summit Point, VIR, Mosport ... So many tracks, but so little time (arghhh and money). Bye bye 335, hello F150.

I guess I'll need a divorce attorney as well

I may have seen more pics of your car Mr. L

He is a pretty good photographer as well ... Who knew?

Maybe I will finally get someone to transport my wheels....

As long as we do these track days before your wedding, you won't need a lawyer.

BTW I saw Godzilla. It will take a few track events to figure it out. But it is a good looking racecar. No question about it.

Thank you. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. There is nothing better than having a vision and having the result come out exactly how you pictured it.

I'm trying to figure out if I will go for a closed or open trailer. Leaning towards the closed. But yes, there will be trailering next season. The 335 will get replaced by a pickup. I was looking at a few pickups. The Ford twin turbo is my first choice but I am hearing some grumblings about it. I may just go with a second hand 2009 and save a few bucks.

I'm looking forward to hitting the highway you guys next year. No more understeer complaints from me next year.

I remember seeing a guy at a Porsche event at CMP that trailered his GT3 and his wife's 4S. It was a monster trailer (48'). 5 more feet and you have a semi. So Antoine ... Uh, no.

And when do I get to see it in person? I still remember a year ago discussing your options of track car, it's now reality, LOL.

I think Antoine really only meant his track wheels, not his car.....

Makes sense.

The car will be in storage until April. 4 months and 1 week.

He must miss it tremendously.
I can tell you that it is stored at a good home.
Also I just noticed last night while doing my rounds, the rear view mirror is amazing.

Stashed away. I've already started driving around the house with my OEM steering wheel in my hands making mock shifting/revving sounds. It will be a long winter.

I'd put chains on it fixed to the cement floor. You never know people with bad intentions or connections... The alternative, remove the wheels, batteries, steering etc. Make it hard to want to steal. And cover it with a car cover.

Too bad you don't have a double driveway, or you could have left in in your garage and go in it from time to time....

Wait... Are you telling us that your weekends will all be booked for work reasons... Because there are weekday events too... don't tell us you'll be working 7 days a week...

Oh now I remember working 6 to 7 days a week in the summer when I was a student.... But I didn't have any other activity that I was interested in...

no, my weekends will be unpredictably filled. and even if they aren't (most will be free), I will be in rotations i especially have to do well in, and so...well...I would need to get studying in.

I know you ... you'll find some time. If not, you can always do like me: Steering wheel in hand and making the shifting/revving noises ....
