That car looks even better in person..

Point and shoot I'm guessing?

Can't wait to go down there next spring and do that.. The orange works nicely with the lights.. That's the problem with black is that it blends in very well if you don't have proper lighting..

I have Nikon D60. I just got it and I'm learning how to use it so some of the pics aren't the greatest. I know my white balance is off and the horizons aren't the straightest but I'm working on it LOL

Same camera I'm using. lol. I'm still trying to get ahold on all of the settings.. Takes great day pictures, but the night shots don't care for the auto settings too much.. I have two lenses and a polarizer.. Takes good pictures.. But I just want to figure out the night shots.. Need to mess with the actual settings more.. Depth of field and such..

I turned the auto setting off right after I first got it because the pictures came out too grainy with the auto settings...

I haven't been to their new location or even talked to the guy outside of RacePA.com, however Jim is a good guy.. Not sure on the fair-ness of that price, but that's probably about average.. Good guy though..

That's about fair for an individual trip to the dyno. How many runs? I'll echo what Derrick said, Speed Nation's a good place to do business with.

He said once I'm on it really doesnt' matter since it's by appointment. i could get 5 runs no problem, even up to 10 if time allows. each run is quick enough. Good to hear they have a good rep. I"ll probably go with them. He said i could get in on Friday evening, so i'll probably head over there then.

Thanks

ok... hope it wasn't one of our local SS owners... but some yahoo in a laser blue SS/SC cut me off, nearly clipping the nose off the SS on 65 this morning in Kilbuck....

He was riding along side me for 1/4 mile and then pulls ahead and ZIP! right over in front of me...

great way to start the day...

I've seen that car multiple times out there, and YES he drives like a douchebag. Everytime I run across him he always enjoys friendly little tailgates and pacings. Don't know who he is but I'd wager hes from the Emsworth area.

next time you guys have questions or wondering why you havent heard from me or thinking something I sold you was not what you were told. email me. I stopped coming to this forum for a reason. Also never got any text, if you sent one im sorry. But thanks for talking **** fellas and not just emailing to get info. My priority with my business was not to keep this site up to date on everything, I wanted too but decided it was hindering me because of how destructive it can be on here. not even sure why i came on today, just stumbled here checking in and saw all the crap that was talked.

Also in regards to the heat exchanger Mr. Meuth, you were told about 50 times as was everyone else that I was selling the design and agreed not to sell anymore myslef. Thats exactly what happened and if you never heard from who bought it it means they either scrapped the idea or went a diff direction.

Again email me because again I probably wont be on here for another 3 months, its just a not a priority of ours to be on this site. I thought I really just wanted to help and I have been. Ive had dyno days I just didnt come on here and say it out right, if someone would have thought to email you would have known and been able to tell everyone on here.

Thanks for prooving though, the issues with this site and the people on it. Not stating its all of you but apparently some of you cant figure out that all you need to do is email and that is much more direct then posting in here. Oh well.

thanks guys

And yes I realize there are spelling mistakes in this but I just typed it quick on my way out because I figured I should say one last thing, either you care or you dont. Oh well

I dont think any crap talking started till after you disapeared. You kinda left us out high and dry. How simple it would have been to drop a line and say: here is my buisness email/number/address drop a line if you want to organize something. You told us to stay tuned for updates. We did. You didnt deliver. Did you expect us to wait silently for 3 months?
