I will be flying to White Plains, NY tomorrow to pick up a new toy. As you may be aware, from my previous post, the
MR2 regurgitated it's (cheap parts-store) water pump a couple of weeks ago. This prompted a decision to go ahead
and procure a second vehicle.
Since I will be moving into new digs within the month, and I will lose ready
access to loaner cars, I will need to bow to the "N+1" convention. That is to say, if "N" is the
number of drivers in a household, N+1 is the number of cars you need. This will also free me to attack the MR2's
repair myself and also do a little refreshing without worrying about how I'm going to get to work.
Of
course, just because it's the reasonable thing to do does not mean that I've been all that stodgy and reasonable
about it...
I'm going to leave it there for now. Story and pictures should be forthcoming.
Crap, I've done it
again! A hopelessly ambitious title up to which the short paragraph to follow has no chance of living. Oh well.
Pocono this year entertained for a number of reasons not least of which were the cars present. My shutter snapped
at some of the rarest Ferraris in existance, some of the fastest Alfa Romeos in the world, the newest offerings
from Lamborghini and Aston Martin, not to meantion the dearth of slightly less rarified, but no less arresting rolling
sculptures. I operated a bit of a ramshackle blog (click here), in between showfield and track days over the weekend. Honestly, half the fun of attenting such events come from sharing
the experience.

Now, for those of you who have wondered what an FXX sounds like at full song, and not in a video game:

Much to my relief, I
arrived on friday to something other than a blizzard this time. A semi-frustrating, but over-all fun weekend ensued.
Road Atlanta: Round 2
As some of you may recall,
I have previously visited the hallowed Road of Atlanta and was thusly smitten by its grandeur. I made a second
pilgrimage over the past weekend, only this time I was not flying solo. That's right, after much ado (including,
but not limited to: a 3-year car build, moving between cities, and a thrice delayed and then cancelled track day) TJ finally
made it to an event. MORE HERE!
The
history lesson continues. I probably shouldn't have said that because it sounds educational, causing many of you
to lose interest immediately. Seriously, watch them, it'll be good for you.
