I hope to be out running around already, but these things take a lot longer than one would think to lace up. Still lots to do, but I should be running around Motorplex by the weekend
Vids to follow.

Thanks Anthony.. My wife and I are expecting our first child in about a month, so you just missed the boat on a potential adoption.
Work hard, pray for good luck/timing and you'll have your own garage condo.
When I was your age, I didn't have two nickles to rub together...
You'll do just fine.

Go Kart City!
A friend of mine, Rob (who's also building a Factory Five) stopped by this a.m. to check out my wiring, show me his awesome R8 V10 Spyder and take part in the fun of Go Karting my roadster.
It's been a great 14 months getting her to this point. It's an absolute blast to drive (even at sub 3k RPM's).
This thing is going to haul azz.
Good times - Enjoy (sorry about the wind noise).

It sounded great.
I wish they exposed the engine like Ferrari (still) does with the 430 Spider and 16M.
The R8 V10 is an awesome car that doesn't stand out 'too' much.
You hear me Mr. White Lambo?
I kid.

Check out these three, with varying degrees of smiles, courtesy of the Factory Five Mobile.
(edit) Come to think of it, Carver is loving it, but reticent to show it. MK looks like he's (again) over any car that doesn't hail from the Mother-country. :P
AtomicZ (aka, AtomicTT and Atomic TT and Atomic TT..)
Woodster (aka, Forrest, aka Captain Lifetime):
Alzilla300 (aka, resident uber photog)
Hmmmm, old-school tire shaving:
