So after getting a ride in the silly seat of Anthony's Scirocco at Galway, the fever has hit. I'm not quite sure what direction it will be in the short or long-term.
I helped out at the MLRC Rally-X on Sunday and then headed for T.O. at about 4 pm (thanks for the pizza James!) Along the way a few adventures - Note - If you are driving a VW bus or one of two trucks a truck pulling a trailer along Hwy 7 - try a little harder to not be a rolling roadblock the next time!! Thanks to this and the fact that the 401 was backed up from the 35/115 interchange all the way to Mississauga, it was 7:40 pm by the time I made it to Mississauga Rd. to meet the guy that was buying my bugeye WRX hood.
Then the adventure really began:
- Hit the money exchange in Pearson Airport (Bloodsuckers!!!)
Grab something to drink
Head for the Niagara area
Make for the meeting location.
Seller tied-up at Hockey :(
Finally meet at 11:45 pm.
Drive back to T.O. Get to Hotel at 1:45 am!
It did result in this! The widest commercially available FIA rated seat (other than Racetech's - you can buy a car for what you pay for a Racetech)
OMP TRS - XL!
I have also acquired a HANS.
Next up - HANS posts and intercom gear for helmet. After that ???
