I see how it is, you take the group picture after I leave..

Did you guys do any more runs?

I apologize for having to leave early, that calamari I had at the restraunt has tore me up, thinking food poison, but not sure, I only threw up once and that was after about 2 hours after I got home at 6 ish, its more coming out the other end (I know TMI) any way im thinking its a combination of the food and being in the sun so long.

It was fun guys, Focus guys your cars look awsome, (i am terrible with names but I think its paul in the SVT and robert in the other?) and the Sho guy (think your name was Jose?) that car is a beast and now I am on a mission to find one. Ary, matt, steve, it was a pleasure as always (or should I say twice.)

Big Jim, its an honor to meet you, and your SVT tour is clean. Glad you were able to meet up.

I would definately like to make this a regular thing, maybe every 2 or 3 months. But find different routes and roads.

I pushed the tour a little bit harder than I should have, should have gotten new tires, and definately should get the sway bar, strut brace, and some new suspension. On one turn I went way wide and had to change my pants afterward. The car was sliding all over the place. I was impressed at the same time with what I was able to do given the stock status of my car. I am still a little hesitant about going full out and pushing this car as its my DD but I enjoy the need. I am also contemplating the redline event at the end of august. at willow springs.

Who amoung you here would go? I am going to start a new thread and see.

as posted in the Willow spings/ca speedway thread I posted, the guy at redline will offer a discount if enough people sign up.

i had a great time! the drive was great and i love seeing all the cars in one spot! i must say Jim has the most beautiful contour i have ever seen! if you ever plan on selling it Jim, PLEASE let me know

sorry about the group picture chris, it was a last minute type of thing, and we just sat around and chatted for a while and did not go on another run.

i am very much in favor for meeting again on a regular basis going for a drive, but certianly open for looking for other roads even if it is just in malibu.

speaking of willowsprings, my father and i think we are going, but when we went to fontana speed ventures (www.speedventures.com) hosted it and it will be more expensive but they are very nice and horribly professional. so we are still at odd's when we are going and with what group. speed ventures is on a earlier date and is a bit more expensive (150 flat fee that may include luch/drinks and 30 minutes of track time and most likely you can go much longer if you wish).

great time in the canyon! would love to rip around the track sometime soon!

oh and chris thanks for that heavily scratched disk; it played perfectly on my pc! (go figure). i especially loved the in-car commentary... maybe your new future carrer? nice video!

look forward to seeing all of you at a track or another meet and greet for another great drive! maybe one day i will bring norton along for some fun lol

BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

Good times everyone, thanks so much. My tune settled in on the way home... wow. There is a serious difference in the way the car drives now, and man, is it cool.

What's that fabulous looking car behind that green turd?

I put a custom tune into the ECU... so new fuel curves, etc.

The powerband feels much fatter: I'm going through the gears way faster than I did before, and the car jumps foward at upshifts. Also, I can put it into a higher gear at lower speed without having to clutch like crazy.

hmmm interesting... let me know if it has any effect on gas consumption... i probably should buy one of those things just to read computer errors
