My baby had a good christmas. She cant wait to sport her new jewelry.
Some Baer Eradispeeds & a radiator screen.
Plus some nick nacks like new ceramic brake pads, fuel filter, coolant, spark plugs, & wires which I already bought for her.
She is happy!
My car is getting abused by my buddy for Christmas. He is thinking about getting rid of his Subaru Sti and getting a Z06 so I switched cars with him for a week or so.
I'm pretty sure he'll be making the change soon after the new year.
A nice, sunny day, ride out to the country to spend time with family.

A really correct polish to finally get rid of the delivery wax which had become a sticky black mess!! Now sporting her proper colour, Atomic Orange,
A nice roof over her head as it is -5° over here, nothing compared with the mid west though.
A couple of Jake Decals. But unable to order boot mats as the supplier has gone belly up. (Looking for rubber Winter mats front and cargo preferably not black)
Paid up both tax and insurance for 2008 (fully and totally comprehensive!!) So have spent enough for 2007.
Projects 2008:
Am chasing road wheels, as my standard stock will be for track. (Slicks Yokohama??) And booked a course with an ex GT3 champion in Spring for some track work.
I am currently starting a road book for a trip from Davos, Switzerland through the Stelvio Pass to Milan in Italy for July and also for the old Route Des Alps, which is from Champery, France down to Monaco. I might be able to follow the old timers rally this year.
Wow Leman, those trips sound great. Just saw the article in Motor Trend where they took the Caddy XLR-V over the Stelvio Pass, that is a road I want to drive sometime...
The roads in Southern Frnace are also great fun. Back in the mid 90's, I made 8 trips to the Riviera, our European headquarters was in Valbonne, France (just north of Nice and Cannes. They have some great roads down there.
Nuttin!
It's got a fresh fill of new fluids throughout; and new pads and rotors ready to mount when needed.
It's got a C6Z shifter mounted. :pp:
If things work out, it gets to ride to some playgrounds on an open trailer next year.
If that happens, it gets dedicated track tires ... and will get new street tires anyway.
I get an R3 restraint system.
We get a Longacre dual-mode pyrometer for tire temps.
MAYBE it gets a CAI.
MAYBE we get race seats and belts.
