does your NSX have those pneumatic lifter things that lifts the whole car up by air like F1 cars?

Just to clarify, i think that F1 do not use pneumatic air jacking. You can see them lift it manually. You will see that system in the Champ and IRL cars for sure. Also many of the ALMS sports cars and of course probably all of the Prototypes.

And I will post pictures once my garage is done. I just moved two garages into one...so it looks pretty bad!

Not my driveway, but an interesting design study of "scoops" from the Oct event last fall.

Thanks, I thought you'd like that one! (That's my C1 btw, then Dan's Diablo and Jason's Lotus. I'm sorry I don't recall who the blue car is) Notice we even have Rick's "scoop" in the pic, look at the reflection in the Viper.

The blue one is Kroger's Viper GTS. I wish I had my polarizer back then, it would have been a much nicer pic. Nice spotting Rick in the reflection though Bill, I hadn't noticed that before

You didn't notice it before because you didn't take the pic! So I'm not sure how your polarizer would have helped.

My appologies to you! I took a twin to that shot and had yours saved on my computer desktop so long I thought it was mine. Nice shot Webby, wish you had your polarizer on.

Wow, those are some great pictures. I'm new to the forum and have been to a couple of the "coffee and cars" get togethers, looking forward to meeting more of you and actually going on the cruise for once. Again, great pictures!

Thanks Andrew, I could bring the Shelby out for sure and will hopefully have the Boss roadworthy again this weekend, so we'll see. Not sure either one would be good for the cruise (the Boss runs 110 leaded), but definitely just to hang out.

YOU SIR need a VAN!!!!
my garage was worse than that
UNTIL
all the shit in the garage got cramed into the van!!

well, the dirk bike, go kart, tires etc that couldnt fit went into my kitchen/dining area

the van worked so well Im looking into getting another

seriously think about it, for 200-300 you to can have a mobile gloified mini barn and a nice area to sit on top of in during the nice summer evening gazzing over the neighborhood and watching the sunet

I'm having this delivered tomorrow for you. It'll hold a lot more than your van.
