Tuls is a God

So I was driving home from work today, and I see a Mini driving by headed the other direction... nothing new right? Well how many Mini's have a front mount, and are in Arizona? Two that I know of, but how many of them are blue? Only one... So I flip the biggest ***** in my Jeep and almost go up on two wheel's... ... and catch up to the Mini after a few block's and a right hand turn, try yelling at the guy, no response, make a left and I floor it to catch him and pull up on his right side, his window is down... It's Motha' Freakin' Chris Attulis!!! You S.O.B. !!! I thought someone stole your car and was cruisin' around or something! I was gonna kill the guy, take your car, and never tell you... haha.... So I got to kick it with him for his last trip in Arizona for who know's when... What a priviledge... haha... and I know your gonna read this 'cause I told you I was gonna do it!!! I was star struck today =) And he bought me dinner, what a date!!! Haha.... ok, not like that... Welcome back bro, good to see you, but even better to see the 400hp monster back out after soo long in the garage!!!

Best of luck to you on the move and in North Carolina!

This post is like a tornado... Very swirly, and exciting and chaotic, and it leaves you as breathless as it does confused.

Best wishes/congrats/you have my sympathies/good luck/etc.

I was glad to scroll down and find I wasn't the only one left scratching his head.

I bet if you take all those words, throw them in a hat, mix them around, throw them out on the floor.... that post would come out about the same.
All I know for sure is that this Chris Attulis guy must be pretty famous. I live in a cave, evidently.

Chris is a very well known God throughout the MINI world....he has accomplished many many great things for the MINI and works with Fireballed! Racing I believe. I believe he helped discover what the MINI engine could handle, turbo applications, SC limits, testing, big HP, FMIC, etc.

(Not to forget all of the other great people! Randy, Ryan, Tim, Emily, etc!)

He definitely does not work for Fireballed anymore. He's the same independent thinker he's always been.

Is that why you won't share the name of this amazing Chinese restaurant, trying to keep it as your own little secret, to tease us with?

and a big heart I remember you just about tearing my electronics apart in the parking lot of the Nats ball game when my locking system failed during MTTS. If I did'nt mention it then, thanks to you and SG for all the help.
