Uh oh. We won't be in the same class, as my car is missing a fair bit of interior now.
Its all in the trunk. Maybe they will let me keep it all there and still run in the class grinning smiley

My rubber is still the same baldy shit as last time. Im desperately trying to change that before the event.

Oh, and Al, We will fly the ovloV flag some how or some way. Last time we made a good showing, now we gotta keep it up.

I thought BRS was in August? I havent looked into because of that. I guess I'll have to look again. I would like to, As Ive heard other rallies are different the the I/RNY rallies ive vol'ed at.

What are you planning on doing there?

Edit- Okay, end of september... Had a bit of a brain fart with the dates there.
I can try, And would like to go, but PTO at my work is still pretty hard to come by, still too close to summer.

Bob, you gotta paint those wheels white. or gold, or silver, anything contrasting to black... we have certain standards to maintain. Proper decorum, ya knowz...cool smiley


So, I gots me another set of steelies with 2 good snow tires for $50 bucks. I feel like these ought to be painted. Ive got some flat green handy... That'll look cool on a white/black Volvo, I think. What do the masses think? Jimmy?

My girl wants me to go neon green like Ken Block tongue sticking out smiley

Properly apportioned Kawasaki green is OK. I think you can use that Monster stuff as paint if you add a hardener to it...

Hey mang, Stuff goes at its own pace sometimes. I havent even talked to a cage builder yet, cause I'm waiting to talk to that Mark B feller on things such as who is reputable around where I am and whatnot.

Ive also held off a bit on the mass destruction of the car as I know it for a upcoming rallycross I'd like to attend.

I'll admit, At the time being its moving slower then I'd like, but not due lack of enthusiasim.
