I wish i knew how to fly a plain. I was going to join the civil air patrol and let your tax dollars pay for my flight lessons, but i guess i wasnt motivated enough and now that its time to apply for college im kicking myself in the ass, that would make me look good. My uncle flys a cessna, some cool old guy who has his architecture business who i went to tennesse with to build houses flew fighters in the pacific of a carrier and my neighboor's son (really cool guy) flys f-14s and f-18s.

For the record it is not a jet -- its a twin engine turbo-charged 8 seater capable of 235 knots. But the point is the same -- some things are important and slicks are important for the track. :)

If that private jet for your slicks does not work out (just imagine that a private jet to fly down slicks...),
you can have them send to me and have them mounted here in Miami! I can store them in my warehouse, sorry no jet in that case

William,

Maybe I can help you with your slicks. My plane should be ready (major inspection time) in a week. If you really want your slicks, I can go to Danbury and fly them down to Florida. Gives me and the airplane something to do. Probably will have to put in a special liner in baggage compartment but that's easy. How heavy are those things? When do you need them there? This is getting long -- I will email you separately.

I think its a Brembo kit, I'll get all the details soon. Movit wants me to send me steering knuckles to Germany, Another place wants me to send them another part but I found a kit that just bolts right on with no mods for the same $
