Thanks. It's fun to drive, too. I'm preparing it today for a test session at Thunderhill. Our next race is Dec 3-4.

I can imagine. Not as good chassis as the prelude, but rwd is slightly more controllable instead of the 'lude trying to decide if it will under- or oversteer :P

Thanks. It is a lot of fun to drive, too. And we even have won our class with it!

I see you have a teen-hipster position when driving ;) Low seat, laid back! Trying to be young again? :D

It used to lay back a bit to give me room for my helmet.

The seat in the Opel is reclined a bit too, for the same reason. That is one small car!

Excuses! Borrowing dads car all the time? ;)

Do you mean the Cobra? ;)

No, I'm taking my fathers car! You keep within your family! or atleast, within your country! ;)

But this picture... you're supposed to look at is and say "Oh, my, what a pretty car, and pretty place. That guy is so lucky. I wish I could be him." ;)

Is that birch trees in the background? Probably imported from Sweden ;)

Apen. Don't come here and steal them.

Sweden has imported all of your cars. Can we also import that scenery? I mean, we have more use of it than you do. ;)

You wouldn't like it. No polar bears. Just lazy brown bears. Basically big dogs.

Thanks. I think it almost catches the look/spirit of the ALMS Corvettes. Nice site here, too. Tim, a friend in Sweden, encouraged me to post here.

Yeah I saw that on your profile =) I like those old curves, it does really give a feeling of an old corvette !

We race as Team Tinyvette, which should make sense.

Yes it sure does ! Are you any good then ? =)

We've done one race and finished mid-pack in a field of 120 cars. So, not bad, but not good. Three rookie drivers and two very experienced drivers on the team. In this series, though, the team that has the most fun wins.

Doesn´t always the team with the most fun win ;)

At our last race we brought home two tropies, of for 1st in C Class, and the other, the top prize,with $1501, the "Index of Effluency".

some difference between 1st and 3thd cylinder

Yes, it is an old motor. We didn't do any work on it except take out the red straw from the #2 cylinder, change the oil, and get new spark plugs. Before the next race we'll see if adjusting the valves helps.

okey, yeah sounds like a good idea´

The motor is still running strong, somewhere just under 90 whp, and that after 25 years sitting in an orchard, then over 2,000 miles on the track and about 800 miles on California freeways.
