Robert Caro regularly tracks his silver UrS at Northeastern US ACNA track events.
He'd be a good source of info on what mods are necessary.

As to the Danish Avant - I believe you mean Joern Amundsen's Avant which was a special MTM project.
Miss having Joern and Fred from France posting....

_too_much_hilarity_, ayup...

V says "make it a Nomad!"
M says "4.2 the bish!"

Meanwhile back at the ranch, Baloney's neighbors with Torsen Boy and Gabor the twinturbo'd Hungarian.

And Pete's yesteryearin' about Listdom awesomeness, what is now <<<gasp!>>> nearly TEN YEARS AGO.  Wowzers.  Posts like these tho sure do rekindle the yukk's.  Awesome.

I'm dyin here.

I'll add...  ectomy-it back to the firewall, paint 'er red, install a towhook... and you've got a matching camper.  Cause well yer gonna need a place to sleep (not just @ der //Fest - as in - eviction).  Domo Oregato Mr. Rossato and MPlatt 'n I saw the 944 version of "this" @ Watkins Glen Vintage Fest last year - what's not to like?

Now to further the 4.2 suggestion, why don't you / I just trade engines?  I mean, I've been daydreaming lately of a tastey dish 'o Alumibitch ala AAN apparently.  Picture that.  Things that make ya go hmmm.  What's wrong with me.

In the end, and speaking of MLP'dom...  you'll merely end up So Fast It Doesn't Run, so why not just skip all steps and go 'there'?

Allison, poorpoor Allison.  When do you install the Balogna Motors placard above her front Gable?  Nothing welcomes her PTO teatime meetings like a pile 'o Baloneymobiles forcing all comers to park on street / hold noses / dodge pentosin to walk by...

Just practice my retort - when dorks @ werk ask me "how come you have 3 cars?"....

"Because I don't have 5...".....

All them Gold Futures servin you well there, you called it.

Dare you / Justy / Gabor to really do something stoopid (reallllly hard when it's your everyday, I know).  Say, along the lines of...  El Camino yes???  That'd be rad...

-Paul only thing I'm "modding" lately is a Pinewood Derby car ala Luke's Landspeeder K.


Ps.  we'll be sure to muse 'you' (and mebbe even give a shoutout) Sat night over a Platt bonfire amongst the unusual suspects...
