I was there, saw Bob's car but not Bob. There was a nice red one, maybe the one for sale in town? Spent most of my time speaking with a guy named Art who was helping sell. Saw a nice gray Superformance car, blacked out chrome with a Rousch 427 and Tremec tranny but geez, $75k is out of my range. Guess I'm looking at used cars.....
Art did give me a lot of factoids I wasn't familiar with and let me sit in a roller so I appreciate that. I think with a sport steering wheel and fixed (trackless) seat I'll be okay. The footbox was tight but I had some big running shoes on. For those that have owned/driven recent Backdraft and Superformance cars, is there any difference in the ergonomics and/or footbox area?
Thanks.....
Bob

Went to Car Show
This is some setup now in their new building on the corner. They have taken over the old exotic car dealership and have much more space. Boy do they have some inventory!
Mulvey, Fitz, Cobish, Tin Man, Dennis May all present. I won a half price 3M clear bra installation. Show winner was an Aventador. There were also Superleggera, 458, Murcielagos, Diablos, 430s, ACR Vipers, 4 Ford GTs, 630 AMG and SL, Porches galore, lots of SPF and Shelbys, Parhana, Gallardos, Continental GTs, Astin Martins, GTR, and so much more. Whew! My eyes hurt. Turned out to be a nice day. Here is a photo of 3 of us and another of Tinner on a Segway.

So, since there's an actual photo, I guess there must be an actual "Tinner". Did he have his car there? Proof is in the puddin. Where's pictures if it, with him, whit some sort of "proof" that his car actually was driven? Hmmmm?
He's been so verbose, or loquatious, about his trials and tribulations, with his baby, and now, NUTTIN? Wazzup?

Tinner's car is the black one on the left with the 4 headlights. Sounds good too.
The Segway photo has great potential for future use.

Glad to see that everyone got the memo about wearing blue shirts. Definitely do like the BIG lights. I'm sure the car will go fast enough to out run them and glad to see that the bugs are worked out. Tinner has a lot more patience than I would have with the problems he's endured. I would have stroked out.

Uh................... no, not a bit.
What I really find odd, is the Segway looks like its the only one running.

Why would Tinner suggest that he could pull something like that and skate on the shots? As silly as that looks I have might take a shot at it myself!

BusaBob - If you are serious about looking for a car with a few extras take a serious look at my car. I would let it go for way under what I got in it. Gallaria has some nice shots.  ...but not going to give it away. only pleasure I have left since no boat ! |

No shots, Tinney, unless that Segway develops a rod-knock!

Thanks Fitz, your car is beautiful but a little out of my price range and not exactly what I'm looking for.
