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  . 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.

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.
