Default Expo related- A gift and then an accident !! (sort of)

First and foremost,

I want to thank Trey, George, Dave for organizing an AMAZING event that is a life memory.

Second, I want to thank the NY/NJ/CONN crew called R-speed. It was a blast driving out there and doing the track event. And we CLEANED UP for the raffle. We won cam gears, HID's, $800 gift certificate to King, $1000 gift certificate to Jackson Racing, ATS Final Drive, and other goodies and knick knacks !! This expo was great !!


The final drive was one by Anton (1Greyteg). He knew I wanted to have one, so he gave it to me!!!! WOWOWOWOWOW!!!! I am so grateful to get an ATS FD for free. I will be taking him out to dinner, washing his car, etc. for a long time !!!

But, the sad part. I did have a slight accident at home. I unloaded my car of the trailer. So the car is safe in the garage. I then backed the trailer into my yard, which is a hill. I thought I choked the wheels correctly. NOT The trailer started to roll down my hill. I grabbed it. But that did not good. Me vs. 1500lbs = Oh no ! Luckily the trailer stand dug into the grass just before the trailer hit the fence and would of fell about 5ft into my neighbors yard. !! Thank you God !! I was able to hook it back up and drag it up the hill and chok the wheels correctly. Anyway, I will get pictures of the EXPO up on my website this week.

EXPO WAS AMAZING !!!!!

He's still looking out for you!

It's been quite a weekend and I enjoyed Every minute of it. Just so we get it out now, Sorry that I snore so badly ...

Now, get that gear installed, I know you will enjoy it And you deserve it. I'll settle for more driving lessons in place of anything else Dave. I crave to drive better and would be very happy if I could drive as well as You and Chris.


Glad you like it...

I'm glad you didn't get hurt Dave. Let me say, the R speed guys are great. I had the privilege of caravaning to and from the EXPO with them. Great group of guys and look forward to meeting up with you guys in the future. I was the only POS SI in a group of 10+ Rs.. Nice meeting you Dave.. Enjoy the FD..
