Well, that was fun, the weather was forgiving and the rain stayed away. Miguel showed up just to take a quick looky, since he literally lives down the street per say, he dispenced some advise and I listened as I was not going to F*CK my car up! I learned a lot about my car yesterday, have my work cut out for me, suspension is coming up first. The car is plenty fast for now, although like everyone else I can always use 200 more thoroughbreds galloping under the hood. So with that I am going to become a suspension expert here shortly, gotta actually Zero in on a brand, and figure out what it is I want from my car. I ended the track session 5 minutes early by throwing my power steering belt, there was enough of it left to put back on and get me home. So today is a day of reflection as I plot a new direction for the ride, instead of blindly doing what I thought it needed I can now do what is really needed. Alex had his own adventure there towards the end, Aki, well being that he is a Veteran I dont know what he expected from his ride, but in all it was a good day.
Leo is my wifes Five year old grandson, and he is an absolute GTR junkie, he was with me when I went to find and buy this GTR. I kicked the tires so he kicked the tires, I looked underneath the car so did he, we both inspected the engine and the interior. So it was only fitting that he ride in the car the first time I put it on the track( just during the 2 warm up laps, speeds were less than Highway speeds), and now he is on his way to becoming a full blown motorhead. He calls a race (Ready Go) and I was instructed by him that next time I go to the track I am suppose to pick him up, as he absolutely needs to be there, he was telling his grandma that next time he was going to ride in the front seat during the warm up laps, and she would ride in the back. We'll see how he handles the agony of defeat when she says NOT!
Thanks to Miguel for coming out and having a look, and giving away knowledge, thanks to Aki for putting me on the path to track addiction, and thanks to Alex for hanging out and always finding the deal (he's an Up Garage Junkie).
