Please expand the Signature section for SpiderX - he has officially run out of room to appropriately describe his car, and that is A CRIME !!!!

Good luck with your new efforts..... Keep us entertained - Uh, I mean "informed" along the way!

Thanks....k-huevo has pretty much convinced me that the Endyn SC mod is worthwhile so I am looking at that..... I can do all the work at the same time....problem... I do not have a core to send them.... If anyone has one laying around I will replace it with mine when it comes off later this month..... I know it's a long shot... but you never know... Bob

After this what is left for SpiderX ? We start receiving postcards from him from places like Kualampur or Nepal where he has been seeking out rumored and elusive MOD parts. After several years go by we find out that he has joined a Monestary and has given all worldly possesions.

having said this - I call dibs on all of his parts before they hit the market place.

I vote for flying Roland over here to do the work (I'm only half kidding, it would be cool to bring him over here with his parts to do a set of "group upgrades". I might be in on that!).

Kudos to Spidey for living the dream!

Thanks, but compared to Misfitoy, SpiderX is a "box of rocks"

what I have is a lot of parts..... my paint is a mess the roof has two dents... the leather is .... leather.... after I finish the performance aspects I am going to "clean it up some" like my "Mini" hero Sid.... The detail that Sid (Misfitoy)has done with fittings etc is really "art" those of you going to the Dragon will see what I mean....

I hear the Dali Lama has some one off carbon fiber parts, you might want to hook up with him. Of course, he doesn't drive his car - just sits in it!

Spoke with the "Dal"..... he admitted that his parts were faux knock offs of Hamann but he has a source who is growing some good SH%T, a crystal/kevlar weave..... he gave me his beeper number and told me to keep checking back for the "hook up" meanwhile he said I may find total consciousness at the feet of a holy man "who shall not be named"..... the "Dal" is like that ..all mysterious and SH&T..... something to do with J.K.Rowling and Tolkien..... I personally think he reads to much in this genre.... I do have a lead on a South American connection for Anaconda covered seats and trim..... and there is a new unit using "string theory" that some swiss scientists are working on that can be adapted to, of all things, the stock SC to get infinite output controlled by a nano-bot which, for some strange reason will only adhere to the M7 plasma booster (which I already have..whew) more later...gotta go the hot air baloon to is almost inflated and the jet stream waits for no one.

hey spiderx,

can't wait to see the setup. After meeting Sid last year I became more of an addict....

I too will have the m7 IC but I told Peter he had to bring it with him so we can watch him actually get his hands dirty! I told him I wouldn't accept it any other way......

see you soon...

chris

I heard that they don't use "carbon fiber" but HEMP so when the Dali tells you the parts are "smokin", he really means it!
