Hey Dexter......that little romp last Wednesday night had me grabbin' 2nd and then 3rd at around a 2/3rds power shift without missin' a gear. I did let off the gas a little on the shifts.....kid was ridin' along an' I think he had the "oh shi.....look on his face. Nummer one he's thinkin' jeez the ol' man really beatin' on this thing and nummer two, he actually got the gear......twice !

.....it's been 30 plus years since I yanked a stick (man, that sounds....well bad) so I'll need a little practice afore I try it fer real on the strip.

Just think Gas Rhonda in a '66 long nose Mustang grabbin' gears....

Hey Carson I would be more than happy to buy bucket number two for her as long as she uses both shovels to drink it.

Dale I lived life too much sitting back watching it go by so I think it's time I lived a little, besides I moved up to the Big Boy's Underroos so I will be fine. They come with leak free sides and an all new microfiber lining. Also limited edition Billet aluminum buckle I can use as an EGR delete plate after a bit of work..

Not sure if he can drive one of them sticks thingy I only seen it park and never seen Scott drive it. Thinking Jean drove it and Scott jumped in the driver seat making some voom voom noises.

The gen1 5-sp Likes it hard....... Right leg locked, left a lil push on the clutch...Thats how you shift a Gen1...........

Yep, Jon and, wait for it......Marty, showed up with their Whipples screwed down on top of their engines. Much comparisons were done, questions asked and answered, and the mystery of the engine breaking up around 3 K or so was answered. Bad gas.......

Jean developed a new signature for GTGs.......right hand up and waving means BS 'Course the reason for BS will have to be asked of the BS flyer......

Now then......pics.

The WashLOians preparing for the dining experience to come......

Satisfied faces, digesting the facts, only the facts.....

Note the two "not often seen" faces. 'Course all are looking at Jean wondering if the right hand will raise.......

Then outside we went......

Black and Blue

DSG

Jon's ride was there of course as well as two of ours and the "official" mascot, the silver Taurus (taury the taurus); the Dr.'s car

Oh, wait a minute, she's waving her right hand now.....

nice pics....... you need a power shifting vid......
