I'm looking for an M2 co-drive ( but really I'll take anything ). Corded 3 of my tires and just not motivated to fix the rear bushing either. Have cash, GPS tracking, driving instruction ( show what not to do ) all available!

I re-arranged things to get back in... you can co-drive my FRS.
Pick #98(early session) if available and we can flip the 9/6.

Thanks you. 98 is already in use so I can use my extra magnetic 1 for 681.

This is where I inject some brilliant trash-talk to get into Steve's head so he'll go out and push too hard and make mistakes.

I'm not feeling particularly creative in that respect today, so you'll have ot use your imagination this time.

But, as long as the course doesn't require 3rd gear... :snicker:

Did you know that the '83 Rabbit GTI only had 90HP? You're getting closer to 1983. Keep thinking in "R". If it were me I'd just have others start out in 3rd so they never had to shift "up". :thumbwink: Then there's the economy diff route :thought: Then there's your reaction to upshifts in general.

You morning guys better put on your big boy pants tomorrow. Button up your overcoats. It's 57F at 7pm and will be 42F when you get there at sunup. It will be 74F by the time we get there at 12:45pm since I don't get done reading the paper and brunch until noon :snore: Where is the little violin pity playing emocon when you need one? :binky:

On my evening road test the cold air was good for another 10HP. The Mirage should run in the first group to feel the rush of the one extra horse. I love the call of a rev limiter in the morning and the aroma of brakes and clutches to get me going by noon. Thanks guys.
