Ok so I've been frozen up here in Vermont and off list for a while. 
Here's an update.

The sun finally came out in Northern Vermont and I'm somewhat thawed 
out from winter now. I've got several things to share. First, some of 
the //S-car gruppe guys came up from CT (and Vincent down from Quebec 
!) to bash the frozen tundra ice of Lake Champlain two weeks ago. The 
turnout for the SCCV ice racing event was overwhelming and so we all 
decided to blow that off and jammed to a different area. I blasted our 
own small figure 8 course in 6" to 1.5 feet of drifted snow (sometimes 
up to 2+ feet - Paul ...) with my Toyota 4WD for the S-Cars to have fun 
in. We spent most of the day just wasting gas, blowing doughnuts, 
drifting sideways and trying major left foot braking action - one way 
then the next. Great fun. After that we ended up the day with some Audi 
Sport movies at my house. Videos of this //S Car sillyness to post 
soon, photo link below. Kudos to Paul K, Rich A, Adam A, Vincent and 
Brian. Thanks to Paul for letting me use his S6 and show them all my 
left foot braking style!!! Way fun. I'm glad they came up when they 
did, as the ice on all lakes has turned to mush and almost to all water.

SCCV ice racing event. While we were waiting, and waiting and waiting 
to run we did get to watch some odd, unusual and then very kewl cars 
run. First out was a Yugo. Light, quick and on super studs. Surprised 
us all. Next up was - odd to say the least - a stretched black long 
arse Cadillac limo on super studs !! I took a video of this, but since 
the car is sooooo long and with a stock exhaust it is not really worthy 
of posting. Funny though with the Presidential seal on the door and 
helmeted driver floggin it. Next in line was one of the Audi quattros 
that consistently does well on the ice. Local Aaron Gibson's tweaked 
rare limited edition "Brock Yates Cannonball Run" 4000S quattro mit 
programable EFI /MC 10v'er turbo configuration. He uses Michelin rallye 
gravel tires with superstuds mounted on speedline 20v'er coupe rims. I 
made a totally kewl movie of his first run on the ice. Enjoy this.

Ok, If you've read this far down kewl! Help me clean out my garage. Now 
on to the spring cleaning stuff. I only have a 20v turbo S6 now so my 
spare 1990 MC2 10v'er turbo motor (was for my old '84 urq) is going to 
be parted out or sold as is. 118,500 miles bought from Chris at Force5 
back in 2001. It came out of a running 200 auto and has been sitting in 
my garage since then covered. All parts are used and are sold as is.
