Default Funny Shogun Story - SOLD (hopefully)

So, the shogun broke it's "slave cylnder" and basically doesn't have a clutch!!! So... I neglected to tell anyone this who was calling about the car because it should be fixed before they purchase.....

I call Mr. Chuck Beck (who was just at Jay Leno's 2 days ago trying to buy back the silver Shogun)..... Mr Beck advises me on where to get the slave cylnder....then I asked if he knows anyone who wants to buy one....

about 15 minutes later, we have an arranged purchase for this saturday and the guy doesn't even care if the car is fixed...he'll have chuck run through the entire car and use it in the one lap of america!!!!

Neat how these big $$$ guys can work!

At first, I thought you meant this, which is also a shogun:

I did a short race with a 2001 WS6 Trans Am in this car and beat the heck out of him. I love this goofy little car.





Everything behind the seat is motor.


I wanted to buy this car to run the One Lap. I didn't and now the car's going to run it without me. At least one of us will make it.
