Last Balmy Sunday

[BlueRooster]

I decided to take the car out to get the juices flowing (mine and the cars) last Sunday. From Morris Plains I cruised up through Denville into Rockaway/Boonton. It was cold, but not THAT cold. My oil temp would not go over 60c, so I pulled onto a side street to let the car run at a stand still to bring up the temps. All of a sudden, some guy comes running out of his garage waving his hands at me. He wants me to come back to his house so he can see the car. I have nothing better to do, so I reverse into his driveway. I immediately see a three car garage with one of the doors open. Inside, I see a lift with a car on it and a Mercedes under it. After we talked about the SPF for awhile, he invites me into his garage. As soon as I started walking in I notice the car on the lift has huge racing slicks on it. Once I walked in, I got the wind knocked out of me by the beauty of this guys garage. He had 4 Vipers, Two lifts with two Vipers above and below on one. The one on the top was one of 100 made in that color/engine combo. The car in the rear of the garage was a flat out race car. He built it himself. He races Pro and amatuer classes with SCCA. And he trains for PDA. During our conversation, he said If I let him know when I bring the SPF to Lime Rock or Pocono, he will personally sit in as a trainer with me. This made for a very cool Sunday. Maybe you guys know him, his name is Adel.
