Finally! My Tristar is here!

I've had the Tristar listed as one of my cars below for months now because I did own it. I just didn't have it, as it was in customs and getting CA-legal. But I picked it up today. It came from northern Sweden where it's too cold to salt roads. Therefore, no rust. It runs and handles great, and is great fun to drive.

At 112 HP, and 3600 pounds, it moves along pretty good. My Westy weighs 5150 pounds and has 80 HP. My dream is to trailer my 911 to races, but it may need a little more HP and torque. Maybe a 1.8T VW engine (220 HP and loads of torque) is in order some day.
