I watched this car go together and it is top notch. I feel for the Strange Days Crew but hope this works out for you Karl..........I am greedy and just want to see it run! :-D
Chaz,
my partner Don & I are seriously interested in yr beautiful lil car

I can't wait to see it "in the flesh" on sat morning.   and have my fingers crossed that Don & I will fit in it. .
Karl

Karl,

Did proposition 8 pass in your area also..  :evil:

Try to try it on for size one at a time, seems unlikely both would fit at the same time..even bundled up tightly.  :wink:


I hope you can get this car.. :cheers:

Good Luck, Guys...Seems a better physical fit for the two of you..(yeah, I know, one at a time...) Lucky that Don can organise those flights for a look, eh? If you have any questions about the safety stuff, try the Special Construction Chief in the back of the Rule Book....I would be pleased to help if I could, though... :-D

hey Paul,
I WISH that Don could could just "borrow" one of Chevron's planes and fly us there; he IS the boss afterall...

We are both still attracted by the lil blue CC, but like you say this Lakester would be a better physical fit (after some mods).
Thanks so much for your kind offer of help, we WILL take you up on it. :cheers:
Karl

Chas' beautiful lil lakester isn't for sale no mo'  :-D

I visited with Chuck on saturday, got a detailed review of the car, with Rex there helping explain some of the technical stuff.
Chuck & his team did an excellent job!!!

This afternoon, my partner Don & I made a deal with Chuck and it'll soon be moving South to Houston.  :cheers:

Thanks to everybody who provided us with info; we couldn't have made an informed decision without you guys.

Now phase one of the fun begins.

Gotta say you did well. Money wise and pain wise you got it real cheap, No-one will tell what they spent time and money wise, shame Chas and co didn't get to race it but three cheers that it will be racing soon. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Front wheel drive has shattered some records lately it'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
Few understand what I'm trying to do but they vastly outnumber those who understand why...................

 Hey Karl,
   It was great meeting with you as well. I do hate to see the project leave our grasp, but it couldn't  have landed in a better place. These guys were awesome. They didn't try to "low ball" me, but made a realistic honest and fair offer I could live with.
  The car will do well under their care and they have the skills to make it what we always knew it could be. Can't ask for more than that, can ya?

 Its OK by me Wayno.... I'm more of a builder than a possessor. I'll still get to see it run, and Karl even offered to let me take a spin when they get it to the salt. How cool and big hearted is that?
