    Well the way you drive, and as far as you are from MW, there would be nothing left of the tires by the time you got there!

    I can't argue that...

    Even with the plates to distrubute mass on the sheetmetal over the taillights, I see that bending or denting something.

    No way I'm driving on the Hoosiers anywhere.

    If I am 3Bean, that doesn't really concern me.

    Point taken. But, If I am 3Bean why would I need race tires when I sleep through all the races?

    Is that a Euro bumper? Or is it just painted to look like a Lotus bumper?

    Maybe the Tire-Tail guys need a European distributor.

    Edit..
    They have an Elan kit. So the bumper is part of the kit.


    Ummm How do I get the tires and the Wing to the track.
    Can you say TireTail...

    That tire rack looks like a good way to FUBAR your trunk in a hurry... although I must admit that I kinda like the Elan-wannabe kit.

    True... but I've been working these hours for almost fourteen years. Being a night person is kinda like smoking... it's a hard habit to break.

    I have to have several alarm clocks and a couple of wake up calls to make it to a autocross!

    How many wake up calls do you need? PM me your number and I'll be happy to oblige the next time I get up before 6am to head out to Mineral Wells...

    Hell... I don't even go to the autocrosses, but I would be willing to get up early to make a call so I can mess with a groggy Bean!
