From this thread most of you know that the libility of this cars ownership is bothering me. This car is been <U>so</U> much fun for the past 4 years.... (Nopi with the we-todds/Deals Gap Trips/Watkings Glen road trips over the 4th of July holiday (upstate is beautiful!)/Dirt track laps in front of the huge crowd/hell... most any HPDE trip was a pleasure). I have met people (and gained many great friendships) that I would have otherwise never seen because of this car. Two dented fenders along the way have kept me in check.
The fun had is so great that it pains me to think of it not being in my life/garage. If she were stolen I would not know what to do... rage would sweap up thru my torso. Selling her would keep her from being taken from me.. but she would be gone. Times change.. and so do people. The time to move on is getting closer. :sniff:

haha amen

 

to WILL and his R

 

toyyyt like a tyyyger

nice pics will and yes I only looked at the pretty pictures

 

Stop being a pansy. In your own words, theft isn't that big of a deal where you live. You also have a daily driver.

Unless you plan to move up to something 'better' - ie. more expensive - I see no reason for you to sell the R.

-Ross, who will never sell #1013

 

Willard definately drives the R like it should be...thinking of selling the R willard? Say it ain't so!

 

Will PLEASE do not sell it.

 

Does this have anything to do with an email you sent me this evening?

 

You sell, part of you goes with it

Ya got the boosted Volvo and it runs good, no need to sell.

Glad you have seen 4 years like I, scary to think there might me 4 or more

 

it's owners like willard who have begun the legacy of the itr's. it'll be really cool to see these cars just as we see the cars of the 1970's and 1980's slowly gaining popularity. knowing your car will one day be in the hands of another "young buck" is a pretty neat feeling. #0154 has a deep history.

here's to your 4 years --&gt;

<u>nostalgia</u> is abound in the itr forum...soo many "anniversaries".

kepani-whose 4 years is coming up too...

 

:sniff:

Scott, who thinks this is kinda like getting really old and watching your friends die off first....kinda sucks.

 

will, i would not have had the opportunity to call you a friend if it were not for this car

it deserves to stay will you

 

Damn and i just saw this Sunday at the meet!

 

My R envies your R's track time

Have a whole bunch o and think it over again.

 

Nice R

 

Will is .

 

awesome that your R has been tracked throughout the years. hopefully, there will be many more to come.

Awesome man, I've grown up reading about your R's adventures. You can't let her go.

 

Dont let her go
