This is getting good. Maybe on the bathroom counter? That's always a good spot in hotel rooms.

You know, literally 5 minutes before you said anything I saw those tags...damn admins! haha.
However, I did stop at DB after work today...been a while since i had been up there, i was getting homesick haha.
I gathered up all the left over parts i had up there and brought them up, including two SSP MC's...and yes the magnus MC (lomker I will get this to you soon).
Danny was nice enough to adjust my clutch pedal and it is way better now...I don't have to have my foot in the air to engage so I should be able to launch assuming i know how, lol. Still not used to the lower engagement though, but I'll get there.
Also bought some oil up there as my car is a little low on oil, maybe burned some on the cruise and the hours of WOT, lol, not sure.
But I think I am good to go for this weekend...time to have fun!

I figure if the beater breaks down then I'll drive it. I'll also probably get some work done on it over the Winter (pull the turbo, etc).

Uber fail since you are right next to a good highway with a long ass entrance ramp.
