Looks Good!  Is that a street legal tag?  Or are you require to register off road vehicles?

When is the shakedown run?  Season is basically over?  How hot is it, surely you will take it for a quick test session?  A couple hours when the sun is almost down or just coming up.  How far to the nearest dunes?

We are required to register off road - $25.00 per year.  Not Street legal - easy to do in AZ, just not done yet. 

Planing a shakedown soon.  This weekend was nice - less than 80*.  Even if it warms up to 90* it will be fine - nearest?  Same as always, about a five hour drive. 

Last car, shakedown run was around 5/31 and ended up being an all night adventure - we lost a Tatum to barrel roll 7X.   

Working on getting some interest.   Likely make a run next weekend. Looks like 93* is forecast. Not ideal, but not too bad.

I remember that story.  Do not want again.....

Did that start as a night adventure or is that just how it ended up?

So is 5 hours Glamis?

Started as an afternoon run.  We stooped in Yuma for a quick bite - no body ate but me at around 4:30 - 5:00pm.  We planed on running 2 - 3 hours back to Yuma for dinner then drive home.  Did not leave the sand till 6:00 am. 

Glamis is 4.5 - 5.0 hours.  I have to go anyway to check on the toy hauler, etc that is in storage there.  I will go in AM have other folks join for a late evening run.

Sweet car. At least we can still stick together with the subies. Jp is about a mile from my house. I always liked the way his cars looked.

He knew it off the top of his head.  Me; not so much.  Bill at AZ Transaxle built it and he would know.

Don't need to try too hard - we will just wait for the chain to break.  Catch you, pass you, and be waiting back at camp with a beer for you.

The exception. 

But if we use that one for an example, we will ride, camp, work, work, work, ride, camp, work, work, work, ride, camp, and still be back at camp waiting on you?

HOPEFULLY that work,work,work bit will be a thing of the past. If all turns out right that is.
  Great to see you get the car. Should be a nice upgrade and the subie will be a nice engine for sure!
