    Now you need to start a video series with your wonderful Stratos, what a car! It's beautiful, I'm sure any wait was worth it

    Congrats- car looks GREAT!


    I heard the wise words of Vinny in the background saying what I was thinking in my head "the engine is cold!" Revving a cold motor is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me- mechanical abuse :) Could tell you were very much in the moment and excited which is an awesome feeling!

    Hope to see you and the car at the Chatham C&C this spring...

    Extremely cool car, glad to see old icons being restored. That color suited it really well!

    And the grin on your face... :)

    Fantastic car. Congrats. I hope to see at it at some point - Chatham C&C as previously mentioned? Never have seen one in the flesh.

    i am, but, genius that i am, the car will finally be ready right about the same time that we get several feet of snow in new york...although, wait a minute, if i was going to REALLY drive it properly, that would be ideal!

    Phil- I just noticed in your profile you have an M1 (!) Any chance of getting that bad boy out to the Chatham C&C this year?? Please let me know if you can do it so I make sure to be there that day :)

    I'm still wating for you to be the guinea pig and take the dive into a Series 1 Lotus Esprit with tartan interior....I just don't have the guts to do it :)
