Will it have Astroturf in the back?

 :rofl

No, the bed will be Teak (or something approximating it, like Quebracho).  The Teak bed will be done (panels) in a way so it can be removed and replaced with an aluminum (panels) one when I need to do some hauling.

Dang fuze, I though my Mini was low mileage, for its age, and it has 141,000 miles on it.

Talk of low mileage, I'm still driving a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 70,000 miles on it.

Good grief the NEWEST car I've ever owned I bought with that many miles on it.   (Still driving it 385,000 miles later.)

Forgot to mention I also now have a 2004 Impala with 164K miles on it.  My chief driving car to keep the Hellcat in the garage.  Previously I owned a 1999 Impala that I got 193K miles on it.

Both of these had and have a V6 3800 motor in them.  Bullet proof and very reliable even in sub zero weather.

3800 is the most durable engine I've ever seen.  It's what I have in all four of my Regals including the one above.  Great engine.

My daily driver has just under 200,000 on it. 2005 chevy crew diesel. Right at 500hp and just under 1000 ft lbs torque. 6" lift on 37.5s wrapped around 22s.

This is my bucket of bolts!
We filmed this this weekend at the Northwest Nationals in Seattle.



Hell yeah!!

I worked with type 4s up to 3 liters in 914s but it's an insane amount of engineering.     Found 911 fans and turbos worked well on 2.0 displacement instead of the crazy strokers.

I got a Ford, was love at first sight, took it home;was engineered by my long time squadie Sir Loin at Ford in Oakville.  I used to steal his kills, he left some sensors unprotected , every time i wash it starts blinking like a Christmas tree, won't start, have to let it dry.

Look at the size of this trunk. You can put three bodies in there.

I run in Super Stock so I have to stick with type one configuration and naturally aspirated.  We have a decent amount of rules we have to abide by.  Ever once in awhile I start thinking about building another car to run in a class that allows me some freedom from the rules but then reality sets in.  It would be like having two wives, sure there maybe some cool things about it but who really wants twice the headache?

My 1969 Camaro, is only stock on the outside. Powered by a 2006 GTO LS2, 4l65e transmission, Ford 9" traction Loc rear end, Hooker headers and Flowmaster mufflers. All Dakota Digital gauges. Really fun to drive and I drive it almost any day it is not storming out.






And of course my namesake in the game my RV-6 airplane (RV6flyer)
