There is no way in hell you can fit another gadget in your car

When are you installing a second battery for all your gadgets?

Does this mean you are going to start tracking the Mini? You do have access to some incredible venues, Mid-Ohio, Elkhart Lake to name but a few.

I visited Mid Ohio and recently took out the shifter kart...that's starting to push me over the edge if you know what I mean

Those are still competitive, I have a 99 set up for the over 35 gang w/JC built Honda 80.
So, at Mid Ohio,did you get to 120+? If, at speed, a kart can't teach you respect for a car.........

Yes Closer to 125 white knuckle miles per hour...tried very hard not to stare at the tiny wheels spinning at those speeds

Before I got on the track, I thought this would be a cake walk as the track is so large for the kart but noooo...you can still kiss them concrete walls if you don't watch what you're doing...the only thing faster than my 125s were the 250

Unfortunately, I backed out of the vent install when I realized the amount of body work and removal of the wash bottles...some lucky guy is probably installing right now...

Solar?!?! I have a miniature styrene burning dynamo...the black smoke helps block the hot sun too...

Glad I went with other vented ones, they did not require removal of the washer bottles. Just gave them a quick shot of rattle can black so you can't see them through the vents.

You're not going to leave that cable dangling there in plain sight, are you?
