Impressive doesn't carry near enough weight as an adjective to describe that, but OH MY GOSH...that kid is gettin' it done, without cowboy boots even! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

That is an art of generations past that is lost on most people...Owen, you indeed are the man. Congrats on the 12.6x Simpson family... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Hey Pete: adjust that outside mirror. Tilt it up and you can cut 0.01 off the ET. (get some 'lift' out of it! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img])

Nice shiftin' Owen. Grumpy &amp; Dandy Dick would be proud of ya. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

NICE SHIFTING! Most people don't realize you can pull on the stick hard and not pull it out of gear under full acceleration... as soon as you lift the accelerator it will slip out of current gear-stab the clutch and it goes right into the next.

The guys at the drag strip swear my brothers Z06 has an automatic till they look in the window...
