Default All in a days work....

GT (40) for me! I drove one back in the 70's. Those memories are in COLOR, it left such an impression I can almost smell the tire smoke.

.....two big black swaths of rubber appearing magically in the rear view mirror as the car shot forward. Transfixed by the site in the mirror I suddenly realized the engine was screaming in my ear. I stabbed the clutch and pulled the gear lever hard into second.

Going up through the gears I glanced at the speedo,,,,135,,,,corner coming up fast. I was on the brakes like white on rice and started my down shifts, the car was incredibly stable. No darting, no wavering, just solid and planted.

OK!! She runs good, better get it back to the shop for the customer..............
