Awesome day yesterday- Thanks Jim!!!
 
Yesterday I got to go to a PCA AutoX up in Sunrise- met up with Jim Cesiro, who was cool enough to let me Co-drive his car.

Let me tell you about this man's car- it is the coolest thing I have ever driven. Turboed 87 RX7 with just the sickest setup. I've never before piloted a car with that much power and grip. You could adjust the car at will using the gas pedal. I didn't even come CLOSE to this car's limits. The loose nut behind the wheel was the problem :p . It was a great day, we got in 8 runs! I only managed to get one video of Jim tearing it up, which I need to figure out how to post. I think my cheeks are sore from smiling so much.

I did manage to get a picture of another car there- a 944 with a v8 in it, with so much power that it was pushing the front inside wheel totally off the ground.

Check it out-

Anyhow, a HUGE thanks to Jim for hooking up an awesome day. A very cool guy. Met his family too, and they were super nice as well.

I want my 951 back now. :p

I am glad you had a good time, I already PM'd you and told you your welcome to co-drive any time. Your a great driver and a good guy it was a pleasure to finally meet you and I look forward to future events with you.

I did not have time to edit the videos down, maybe this evening. You did a great job driving it especially since you never drove the car before.

Thanks Trekkor I'll tell him you said that, it echo's what I told him.

He even had been playing with editing, he is taking a photography class in school and the teacher likes his eye. He has been winning photo of the week a lot since they have been doing the class.

Here is that guys Mustang with some editing.
