Side Note

So, I've been thinking about this for quite some time. If money was no object, what would be my dream car. I'm not going to say the Bugatti Veyron, though that would be pretty sweet. Perhaps something in the Lotus family?

How about a delorean, reskinned in Titanium, with a lightened chassis, with a custom AWD system (perhaps from a Skyline?) driven by like ... 4 souped up harley davidson motors. And then the interior would be something like that of the Jaguar F-Type Concept. I think the whole thing would cost at least 100k, for all the custom work. Plus Sheet Titanium can't be cheap. Okay, it'd probably be more than that then. But seriously; what's more original than an AWD Delorean driven by Harley motors?!

I think that would be sweet.

The bits are arriving.

So I spent thousands of dollars on parts a couple months ago ... it was a strangely surreal experience, shelling out over 2k for a gearbox that MiniSport would build in england and ship over. And then almost another 2k on a rollcage that would magically appear from overseas in a similar fashion. After a couple delays, I forgot about the money I spent and forgot about the parts I'd bought. But now, things are different. The cage appeared at DSG earlier this week, and I'm excited to tell you that there are a TON OF TUBES.
And checking my tracking number for "Parcelforce" (how british is that!) I see that my gearbox has indeed been shipped, and is going through customs in NYC. I'm fucking pumped! The bits come together! And by the time it's warm enough to drive her, she'll be back together and better than ever. Pumped.
