So Mats you car is a freight train? Ummm so it's long, strong, slow and runs on diesel? A 730iL TDI ?

Hey Z, the man is ahead of his time...we'll all be going diesel pretty soon...look at the kind of performance the latest burners have!! And speak about torque

So you all enjoy your Alfa V6's, be they 12 or 24v, the time is near when a similar size burner will cleanly blow all our doors off and do so using about half the fuel and 2/3 of the revs...yeah, life sucks - I know!

What's more, there's a whole electronics industry out there chipping the damn things and doind a very good job of it! I better start saving my trusty old N2C spark plugs, they may soon be conversation pieces!

I have been looking at that to. Diesels are becoming very powerful.

Heavy, slow diesel and he cargo capacity is way beyond any Alfa (car).

Boring as hell though.

Bad news, nobody! (Futurama joke)

Someone thought it was a good idea to move our first race of the season... Guess what date they chose..?

I'm out.
This is turning into a joke.

What your bailing out ..... no ring trip?

finding excuses not to come to the ring is one thing, but changing a complete race calendar as an excuse

I delayed the move to our new house a month for it

we wanted to go see the first tests and training for the vln this season on Saturday (24-3). Where I live it is +7 deg C at the moment .........

VLN is a long distance race class also a training/classification for the 24h race on the ring.

Well, what else can I say except:

or possibly:

Private schedule now looks empty, gotta check out my work schedule though. New assignment -> huge workload but it's all worth it.

Preliminary I'm in but need to have a look at the planning at work.
