The other day I was at a local car show, and I saw a car that is getting pretty famous.
None other than 4th place overall, and 2nd place in class UTCC competitor, running a 2 minutes flat, Sharif and the Forged Performance GT-R.
It should not surprise me that it was at the show, mainly because I pass the shop twice a day on my way to and from work. I stopped to ogle for a minute and Sharif and I had a conversation about the Sebring round of Redline Time Attack. He was enthusiastic about the event, but disheartened by tire rules and politics. I recognized the car, because I had just finished reading the October issue of Modified Magazine (gasp) the night before, and it was the cover car.
As an aside, I brought my Basset, Alois, to the show. I swear he got more attention than most of the cars. I consider it his monthly ego boost. Sharif noticed Al's turned out feet and joked that he had "a lot of camber set up in the front". I told him that I had a bit of toe out, and 3 degrees of negative to help him with turn-in. We both had a good LOL.
Forged also had this little beauty at the show. I had to clean my pants after it had left.
To top it all off, I saw this brand new Boxster Spyder at lunch on Friday. I was dropping off a customer's parts at his glass shop, and it was in the parking lot.
