Hey i've never seen a Resto Cal pull a wheelie Grin

I guess that video should be on the street cars launching thread. Look it drove all the way across the pond, I doubt even the best Schwimmwagen can't do that.

Did they allow you on the track with only one rear light working? I have heard rumours about the lousy tech inspections over there but I could never have guessed this... dam! That`s danger to you.

You truely are a sick man,but funny too Cheesy

That rear light was bugging me all night,would work fine then go off in the burnout,then back on again but lights are no use when you can only see the dark sky anyway Wink Cheesy

and the bumpers are to comply with the califonia law,put them on for shipping to help protect the car and left the t bars at home so just left the bumpers on for now till I get a chance to pick them up,it sure does handle different when it hits the bumper though Shocked
