Lee did really well. Not sure of his best time, but he had his car moving in all directions Sunday! It was a tough course.

I think my best was 46.9 or so. That would have been close to TTOD before the guys in group 3 ran. All the fast guys camped out in group 3 to make the rest of us feel like we were doing well.

There might be some truth to that...er. Yes and no. Better to have the last chance to beat someone than to give them the chance to beat you. Our car only ran in group 3 with 3 drivers. Now that is a good mix up!

That sucks... i will be at PIR with NASA... Maybe i will just do Saturday with NASA and do Sunday with you guys....

[Mad Mike]

Scott, come on down. It is a good time and you'll learn car control differently than when your on the track.

Hopefully see you there on the day after Cinco de Mayo.

Cheers,

Mike

jeffs my man hes got the plan!

well guys another GERMAN VEHICLE has entered my life!!!!


yep a 1974 FULL RACE karmann(kartman) GHIA!

never wrecked w/exception pass. door replaced. RAVENNA GREEN! or as i call it peter max LSD green day glo green! original factory color. interior kinda ratted. needs headliner rear 1/4 window rubber/carpet/door panels etc.

has some super secret stealth motor.....................how i know is book states for auto trannies 88mph top speed. well i had this sucker going 95-100 coming down I-17 from sedona. g/friend bought it from some hippie chick airhead whose computer area was surrounded by pill bottles. total meadow muffin, crystals all around and rock circles laid out on ground, type of chick. ie. a total freakazoid!

well anyway it doesnt leak a drop of oil! and yes i checked to see if it had oil LOL! and it is a peach. only rust was surface below rear seat. nothing a little bead blasting and spray bomb wont cure.

going up on lift sat morning for complete looky see from front end to rear end. then huge parts order for interior and other asundry little foo foo items. been working on this the last 5 days and its really cleaning up nice.

it is so fast that jeff better watch his A$$!!!! with the very rare and highly collectible beefy auto tranny..............we will be able to do circles around jeffs car. let alone lay burnout rubber down the highway for a mile! jeff has never experienced this raw barely controllable HORSEPOWER!

as far as handling..........well its got the latest greatest michelin 165 size tires which is the widest that will go under fenders. this means jeff doesnt stand a chance ever again at PIR or FIREBIRD!

this incredible motor must put out at least ..........40 HP! maybe 42.5! im sure running race fuel we can get 43 HP!

it truly is a sight to be seen! jeff has got his hands full now! LOL!

cant believe how many people give the thumbs up and "nice car" comments on this POS! hahahahahaha!

you should have seen me drifting down from sunset point in the twisties on underinflated tires, worn out sway bushings, worn out to hell shocks etc.. it was nothing like my p-car i can promise you!

oh god what have i got myself into this time! more german car self abuse!

[Jeff]

Sounds like I'd better place a "go fast parts" order with our host.

Chuck, Where are the pictures?

[charleskieffner]

jeff you better buy SUNGLASSES cuz this "GHEE-A" is so BRIGHT! it will hurt your eyes!

pics later tonight!

it is awesome raw horsepower like you cannot imagine!

kinda like the explosion last sunday at firebird when the "capsule boat" of ishimura blasted out of the water in an explosion of white water, hit the traps, and made the ground shake and SUCK THE AIR OUUTA YER LUNGS! all the while deafening yer ears as if you were standing right next to a GE TURBINE ENGINE ON FULL AB! (afterburner!)! by the way he hit 323MPH in the 1/4 mile!

thats how bad a$$ this "GHEE-A is!

holly has already ordered the PARACHUTE from simpson!

kidding aside..............we have exorcized and poltergeisted it of its past owner! removed crystals and "smiley" faces etc!

hollys really happy as i am likewise. not alot of work or bucks to make into a class act daily driver. actually its a toy just like my p-car. her dad just saw a 1974 "vert" convertible hit hemmings for 18000 bucks!!!!!!!!

go figure????? ghias going for more than some of our porsches????? beats the hell outta me why they have such a following??? their cute and thats about it!

YIKES! I didn't know my ex girlfriend had moved to AZ!

[charleskieffner]

too funny leeh! she was a trip! told us how she was behind on her house vehicle payments. how she had fallen down and cracked a rib, and how she prayed to jesus everyday and her crystals.

absolute cluster fuch for her to write up sales receipt on computer! then she hand wrote a receipt. couldnt find title!!!! aarrrrrgghhhhh at this point we find she never transfered title to her name. then a 22mile long trip to cottonwood in her ferd exploder, holly in my gmc and me driving ghia @ 40mph, to MVD in cottonwood. then the gestapo come out to verify all VIN numbers and finally we rid ourselves of a very wierd strange fuched up middle age woman that had the extra LARGE pill bottles all around her computer area.

holly went in house for receipt and found like 20 CATS! and the obvious cat poo poo smell OVERPOWERING! wanted to give us a 7 toed cat for free! I DECLINED! cat wasnt going in my truck nor driving back in ghia w/me NO MATTER WHAT!

i have never in my life experienced this kind of car sale and may i never again!

oh by the way...........this entire fiasco started easter sunday when we went to look at car.

the goofy a$$ chick had even forgot what day it was despite umpteen phone calls reminding her we needed title changed over and we were coming to p/u car!

this one goes in the books!

Classic Vortex hippie. Gotta love living in Arizona.

[charleskieffner]

well guys i KNEW you were ALL on the edge of your seats waiting for these super secret stealth (i wanna be a porsche) GHEEEE-A pictures.


note carbon fiber rear wing has been removed!


also we found out what kind of motor it is..........its a SKINNY MOTOR! the exact opposite of a FAT RACING ENGINE!


we also found out that parts for the UBER RARE AUTO TRANNY aka "AUTO-STICK" are UBER RARE about unobtanium!

apparently the main culprit is a diaphram(isnt it always?) that regulates torque convertor. but due to my superior intellect and bulldog tenacity i ws able to locate this rare part!

so since we have found another tranny also, we may just buy it as spare and have this juan rebuilt. our present problem is a "clunk when first shifting gears. which may be mtr mounts or tranny mounts or CV's. also found out there is an adjustment up under front hood. so its off to the races. stay tuned fer further updates on the "i wanna be a porsche" DAY-GLO GREEN hurt yer eyes GHEEEEE-A!


WARNING WEAR SUNGLASSES BEFORE VIEWING PICS!

[charleskieffner]

SCARY HUH?????

[03TARGA]

SWEET!

[LeeH]

Very nice. I don't know why, but I thought it was a convertible.

[charleskieffner]

drove to big o tire and got tires(michelins) rotated and balanced. took for spin to bartlett lake and back. runs like a top. still no leaks! amazing!

wish my porsche engine was sealed as well when i bought it!

go figure?
