I don't know if I'm really smart or just lucky

But based on several years of reading Johns posts and one phone conversation, I went down to Seatle last year and had him make me up some Soooper Bitchin suspenders for my ugh open class Subaru. Winter tested them in Feb and just last week tested them on one of our Ontario regional rally roads. Having driven on some high dollar stuff before I just can't believe how absolutely fawkin awesome they are. Really really good stuff. Took the small jumps there flat out, simply attacked the road. Now not having seriously driven on gravel in some time I came away from the day thinking, Man, I can DRIVE! But it's because the car is sooooo easy to drive and really confidence inspiring. So all you looking for suspension, you gotta ask yourself: Do I feel lucky?

Well... do ya punk?

Thanks John!

Absolutely! To have THE most important part of a rally car be as good as what anyone else out there has, at a cost that lets me continue to rally makes me all giddy.

Yeah that sounds awesome Dave and much needed! I'm ripping the second floor of my house back to the studs to redo absolutely everything the first Saturday of May.

How far do you go to test? You're doing it during the week? I usually get back to Hamilton around 6 o'clock during the week.

The date I gave may be wrong, have to check when I get home. It's on a sat or sun at the galway-cavendish road. Suits and helmets are required but I can borrow my co-drivers stuff but its LARGE but'll do in a pinch. You should come up, it keeps the rally-blood boiling till you can get going yourself.

So it's up in Catchacoma? I'd really love to go! I will have to see what I'm doing that weekend though when you know.

My workaholic girlfriend is recently in London with our dog (can't have him, work too long hours away from home). So if she's coming up then I'll have to bring em with me, she usually can come every second weekend and is coming this weekend, so next weekend might be good.

I'm a 6'3 bean pole.. that might present a problem for a suit. I wear a 36" inseam usually, although 34" does in a pinch. Does the suit have to cover your body when you're sitting (probably does)?
