    The Z seats had good side support. I really liked my '87Z.

    Spent three days at PRI Show in Indy. Had a blast so much cool stuff to see. Might take a few days to recover.

    I’d love to go to PRI one of these days. Kinda like SEMA, but with cooler folks.

    Did you see Ace Performance there? They probably would have had the Ariel Nomad and an EmTron ECU display, not sure what other cars they brought...

    Off to sheek mish moneypenny!

    I'm going to do my homage to James Bond in Skyfall and go off the web, off the radar and head to the wilds of Scotland to where they filmed the iconic scene with 'M' where she hints at him being so mentally and physically tough because of where he was brought up on the bleak moors. It's stunning up there at this time of year and, if you save up all of the leftover roast vegetables, vegetable scrapings etc. and take them with you in a bucket, the wild deer will come down ofthe hills and eat out of your hand. They especially love crisps or chips. The salt and fat content eems much appreciated.

    I didn't see Ace performance but I know I missed a lot of stuff,so much to see. I did see Emtron though. Looked at a ton of transmisson stuff and every brake company was there. I lusted at Forgeline wheels for a good 20 minutes . My oldest son had their Shop Evo there for Link ECU. Evo has our transmission,T case and diff in it, TRE.

    Anybody seen the new Mclaren Senna? What an absolute piece of garbage! On top of that, the over hyped fanboy name - Senna.

    Hideous. Did anyone stop to look at the car in profile?

    I don't think it'll be garbage; actually, it'll probably be awesome. But it's still ugly. Like an Enzo.

    Sure, it may be awesome in terms of lap times, but that's about it. The rest is just garbage.
