Just Like the NBA....
Just like the NBA we've got some tripping going on, our elbows are up and out (atta' girl!), and we've got our fists balled up.....

Okay, don't get too excited yet. The engine is a bare set of cases with a broken rod, and that's not even the jug we're gonna' use. But we had to retro-fit it all together along with the pipe and the swingarm so we could fabricate the exhaust mounts on the pipe and the rear of the sub-frame. So now we rip it all apart again and keep polishing parts and gathering assemblies, painting and clear-coating on the frame and swingarm for fake-out assembly number two, where we'll fit all the body-work.......and then tear it all apart again......

Green is Green, Right?
Talking to a buddy of mine on the phone a couple months ago, he told me he had acquired a Lotus Europa, one of my favorite cars ever produced by Lotus and brand principal Colin Chapman . I asked what color it was and he replied that it was green.
I told him I couldn't wait to see it and he said, "Oh yeah, you can wait to see it....." His response kind of puzzled me at the time.....
Of course I was pretty much anticipating the norm of British racing green on a Lotus, but when I finally got to see it a few weeks ago at the last ITSA event of '06 it was way more akin to Kawasaki Team Green......
