Talking Ed

I am here. Just really busy this year with business, a new workout schedule, and I am joining a bagpipe band (as a beginning piper) I have been driving her almost every sunny day, in fact yesterday honey and I went out to lunch at a mex restaurant in her and it was a blast. the only real problems I have now are the stupid carb making some minor problems for me (I had to use Mr. Gasket heat sinks and steady idle under different engine heat levels is a bit tricky) and I am looking for a filler neck baffle of some sort . The stereo is easy to hear with the NASCAR baffles, even at 70 mph on the freeway with the top down, believe it or not ! Handling is great, although I need to soften the rear Carerra coil overs one notch, I am thinking. The tranny will jump out of 6th gear if you run below 2100 rpm on the freeway, if she hits a bump. Just a minor annoyance at this point this car is so stable and solid that that it a pleasure to drive her, even fast around tight corners..no "sea sick sedan" squishy suspension feeling, nosir!
The response around town has been amazing, I cannot go anywhere without thumbs up, open mouths, "awesome car, dude!" and big grins from most folks. (Kids big and old dig this car) Those that have reported this phenomenon on the club are making no exaggeration at all ..!
I have some pics in my photo gallery
