I removed the targa top headliner. ;)

No kidding...the light was pretty strange until we got east of the mountains. Plus I can't take a decent picture. :rolleyes:

Drago, it sucks that you got a ticket. That scenary looks absolutely gorgeous. I was thinking the same thing my fellow Leatherneck wrote about you fitting in a P-car! I have a suggestion.....remove the picture of your ticket because it has all of your personal information. You don't want to be a victim of identity theft.

Drago, call Attorney Matthew Russell @ 206-999-2025

If I get a ticket, especially like the one you got :rolleyes: , I write a check for the amount he requires, sign the back of the ticket, fax him a copy, send in the ticket and wait for the dismissal letter.

;)

You can color adjust with P-shop. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun, with the one exception.:o :D

Pic of ticket removed (what was I thinking?!?!).

None of you saved it, did you? Come on...fess up.:cool:

Go get a V1...saves my butt once a month.

The lead group had V-1's...what they lacked was the time to get on the 2-ways to tell me of the impending trouble (I was usually less than 1 turn behind them).

Gunter also had a V-1....guess I shouldn't have passed him.:(

Ric also had a V1......this one was pretty quick. We were all straining to see the Trooper do a U turn and hit the lights for us by the time he passed Marc.

My smoke screen must have helped.

Why am I suddenly reminded about the joke of the two guys in the woods. . .

one says; if I see a bear, Im a running.

the other says; you can't out-run a bear.

First guy says: No, but I can out run you. :cool:

While doing my honeydos this afternoon I had time to comtemplate this scenario again.

The monetary fine of 2 "reasonable" tickets might buy you a V1. Add in the insurance and attorney fees and the V1 is a better investment than property in Medina.

I always wondered why it sez "Ticket Maker" under Drago's name...Now we know.....

Hey Bob,

Used to say "trouble maker"...I figure "ticket maker" was good for awhile.

We drove out to Long Island today. We could have made it a national event...everyone meet in Kansas!

Maybe next year...

Hey Drago, just a suggestion, but how about "Troubled Ticket Maker"? ;)

No seriously, how tall are you. You dwarf that 911! Have you done any special mods to fit your knees under the wheel?

Drago: Consider this:
Your license plate has 222 on it;
my birthday is 222;
My order # at the Sleeping Lady was 2;
I had a pair of 2's to win the pot;
Is there a connection?
I gladly suggested to turn the pot over to you; now you have 2 options:
Get a new tag number and don't pass unless you get that new V1.
It's an absolute must in the future to have a pot; everyone who wants to come along in ANY car has to fork over $10. (Even if you bring your mother's old Gremlin or Pacer)
That goes for the September run to Sioux Falls! Yes?

"Knees under the wheel"...that's funny. My knees almost touch the top of the lower pad...making the shift into and out of first a little tight.

I'm 6'7" and ~300#. The only mods are a smaller than stock diameter steering wheel and no Targa top headliner. I have a headliner that came with the car and plan on installing it when I have the top re-skinned later this month.

I do plan on widening the stock seat bottom with a scissor jack and a couple of blocks of wood but haven't found the time, or correct jack, yet.

First off....thanks for a good time....whew..finally caught up with you guys.

Now I am not too sure if it was such a good idea, afterall, hard core criminal speeders and all :eek:

Yrs. ago I started the first Bavarian Bicycle Classic, a one day bike race up the tumwater canyon over beaver hill in Plain and back to Leavenworth via the chumstick hwy. It wasn't enough, everyone wanted more and my mind said, how about a time trial up the icicle canyon and back.

Long story short, never did it cuz of this or that, damn, getting old and that bike sees more dust now than pavement. Now, if we get one person at snow creek parking lot with a radio and one at the end of the pavement :rolleyes: possibilities............. I am kinda bummed cuz the last sheriff in this county was a very good friend of mine who loved spirited driving and probably would have given me a few deputys to help me out......he retired and moved to Montana :(

Some roads in the wheat fields is hwy. 28 and 21, hardly a person much less a black and white but trust me they are out there. Yrs ago I drove 28 alot and never saw anything until that late evening sun that hits you square in the eyes and you are kinda driving blind until you come around a corner with 4 ft. tumbleweeds on it and the friendly man hits you with the beam and you are looking like a madman for his place in space and when you finally see him you just pull up to him and he hands you the greetings form without hardly getting out of his car :cool:

Had a weird thing happen Sunday morning, Saturday night I ended up in Anacortes and that night it poured. The next morning after getting up to get some breakfast, my car missfired and coughed like it had its gutts ripped out. My car hangs out with your cars a hour or so and is having withdrawals already????wtf

Anyway had a good sail, with 15-20 kt winds it was like the drive up the icicle, just a different median.

The car drove fine on the way home,

:confused: must have been condensation or something, got to remember this car is always garaged and hardly sees rain.

Drago: Instead of messing up your seat, you might consider installing seats from an earlier model. I'm big and all my height is in my torso. I sit nice and low in my '73 Recaro sport seats. Was thinking of buying a newer 911 last year, but I just don't fit as well as in the older long hood. I also found the Targa has the most headroom.
