Have some pics.

surely with all those old rally cars lying around, they wouldn’t notice one missing?

Mmm I’d love to have a workspace like that .

Tell me more about this race team made up of $2k in parts and an invisible car?

I somehow spaced on the date for this thing, I really wanted to go but thought it was on a different weekend until the day before, and then I already had confirmed plans. I suppose it’s just as well, if I came home with a few thousand in parts for my XT I might be living out of it at this point

My team’s planning on buying a logbooked SP class STI hatch, but won’t be making the deal until the start of next year.

I didn’t see much that would fit an XT without a fair chunk of modification, you would’ve been safe. Here’s what’s still left over.

That sounds like a lot of fun, looking forward to hearing more whenever that happens. Will you be in the pilot seat of that one? Or continuing as Co-driver?

Co-driver. I know my place

Well at least you have a place! I still want to get involved in rally at some level, but never know where.

I can turn a wrench , but I know I can’t hold a candle to those that actually do things under pressure. (The mechanic I go to when I can’t do something myself crew chiefs for Frog Racing and Wicked Nasty before their off at NEFR. Guys like that are on a totally different knowledge level then me). I’m pretty good with a camera, but it’s not like rally is short of photographers or media . I’m not Ham certified so I’m probably no help with radio stuff. I don’t own a vehicle big enough to haul anything . I have a dream of driving, but it’ll be a long time before I ever have the budget to give that a try.

At this rate if I do anything it’ll probably have to be once my kids are older and maybe we can get into it together. That’ll be a while...
