Doug are you coming to WGI next week? Nick says he is - I begged him to at Fall Colors I'll be there for the Monday session. I'd like to meet you in person sometime!

I figured you might ask that...

LONG STORY SHORT-
- I discovered Nissan Sport mag's web site
- On the web site they had a survey question, what's your favorite pic in our weekly gallery
- The list of multiple choice answers included "None, I have a much better pic and I'm sending it to the editor."
- I picked the I have a better pic answer and sent the image that's in my sig, the S on trailer behind the Titan
- The editor and I started chatting by email based upon many common interests
- Out of the blue he offered me the opportunity to be Project Titan

Here is the list of parts I'm working to get...
Magniflow - exhaust
Hellwig

Wow!!! This is #5 for me. I guess if I didn't go to so many of the meets I might be able to squeeze in a few more track days; maybe next year I need to make another $30,000 a year to pay for the S habit

The goal for next year is even more...

I missed out on one of the 2-day events, the school at Mosport, just not enough vacation time. But, well thanks to Bernie Eccelstone being such an asss and there no longer being a US F1 GP, I now have 5 extra vacation days I no longer have to reserve for my troip to Indy for F1.

Next year I really want to get down to Beaver Run, or up to Mosport, or, in a perfect world get back down to Mid-Ohio. I last ran that years ago in the Rex, boy I miss that track.

I'm seriously thinking this might be my next track car. The thought of a C6 or a 350Z is loosing strength...

The 2008 Lotus Exige S receives a Performance Pack that raises the power to the 240 hp. (minimum) at 8000 rpm. This performance increase has been made possible by a Magnuson/Eaton M62 supercharger, new, faster flowing injectors, a higher torque clutch system and an upsized roof scoop. The 2008 Lotus Exige S Performance Pack increases the torque figures to 170 lb-ft @ 5500 rpm. The 2008 Lotus Exige S with Performance Pack accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds and has a top speed of 153 mph.
