I was really close to pulling the trigger on a Range Rover to replace my wife's car, but she changed her mind...and now she can't make up her mind.  |

You think a 12 x 8 V closed trailer work?
I see this guy at some track days that has a small sport car pulling one of those 1 bike trailer... looks pretty neat. | Boyd Bruner used to bring his RS125 to the racetrack in the trunk of his BMW 530. Just took off the front wheel and threw it in . . . |

| Re: What kind of car/s do you drive? I have a couple of Ford vans, an E-150 for work with 180,000 miles,
an E-350 15-passenger stretch formerly owned by ND4SPD's dad. Used a bit for work and for trackday duty with 280,000 miles!
Then the Honda roll call:
My 2003 Acura CL-s 6 speed
my wife's 2004 Accord EX (for sale soon, because we just inherited my late mother-in-law's 2006 Civic LX)
My son has a 2005 Civic LX,
and one of my daughters has our old 2002 Accord LX.
My wife also has a '72 VW beetle that I'm supposed to be rebuilding and painting, and my other daughter has a 2001 New Beetle.
I think that's all. |

Last spring I did the suspension of my SV instead. Priorities...
Anyway, who said I liked VW's? She wants to make an art car out of it. The engine blew and I want to put an 1800cc engine with dual carbs so it gets out of its own way. |

But I'd rather do the '03-05 cam swap on the SV..  |
