Oh well...Nice year end deal and I needed a car for commuting. The insurance company actually likes that it is a 4-door even though it has those "SVT" letters on it.

It will need snows, however.

What? Did you get rid of/sick of the pickup?
Hey, are you (or anyone we know) going to the Hangover 100?

Wow, Joe, when does the roll cage get installed? Who cares whether it has four doors or not.

Obviously you can't tow with a Focus, David.

I don't have a minivan to enter the Hangover. Could be neat to watch, however.

I agree, Jon. Four doors are cool. Roll cage--for rally--would have to go in well after the break-in, although its got a fair warranty.

The first acquisition will probably be a light pod with four Hella 4000 HID lamps. The first Mod will be to put the old rally computer in it.

Way cool, Joe, I've been becoming more and more of a fan of WRC on SpeedChannel. In fact, I can't wait for the New Year's marathon. I might want to borrow the bank of Hella lamps though, we've been rumbling around here about trying to run the 12 hours of the Point this summer. I don't have any idea how I might last 12 hours when I couldn't last 5 laps this year. Have fun with the Focus.

I wouldn't challenge Randy to that! http://Forums.ImprovedTouring.com/it/smile.gif

I do have my old Subaru to retire....
Anyway, I expect to be there so if you go, I'll be around.
Happy New Year
