Congrats Dave on an awesome car!! So glad that car stayed in the PacNW. And Sean I am sure it sucks to sell but got to ease the sting a bit finding such a good local home for it.

Yeah its maddening that it had to go but life interferes sometimes.
We have 2 dave Clarks round here, and the one I call The New and improved Dave Clark is a good guy.... I have actually asked him how he doesn't get cramps from smiling so much cause I've never seen him without a huge smile at an event...

he had the opportunity to do what few of us could, and that was get a logbooked car for under $1000 ---a old Celica aka Toiletta Sillycar---and I said that he could drive that like a maniac, and not fret about little things like smashing it into stuff cause the price...

So he could "dip the toe" into the hot water and play past limits with near impunity---and he did...


Ya know the Finns say "You can teach a fast driver to slow down---eventually. But you can't teach a slow driver to be fast"
Well TNAI Dave Clark had a good chance to really pound on something, and he did.

Now with what really is one of the best built, easiest to drive cars I know of----aside from the insane Blue Subarus----with a little time to adapt to a much stronger motor, it should be very interesting to see how he does...should be good.
