Well this is an occasion. I never really considered you a true MX-3 enthusiast but now there's definitely no doubt. :wink: Respect and good luck. :2thumbsup: To have your wife on board is such a bonus. These cars are not getting younger so for the we few of us who appreciate the style and sexiness of this car. It's good to know there's a solid following here who recognize and appreciate good taste when we see it.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Awesome!


Apparently I'm the only person on this forum who doesn't know about Jaydogs car so I demand engine bay pics!


Did you end up keeping the orange shell then Aaron?

Thanks guys. It will only be jailed in the winter.

I will get pics up through the week. I'm also hoping to get some fun driving in today as I'm staying in Helen GA. I hear rumor that there are some sweet switchback roads out this way.




I still have the orange car. The plan with it atm is to get a v6 back in it.


Also, I still have the best parts from the orange slice that will be going on the new ride. :mrgreen:

Well after driving for about 6 hrs my wife took over for me.

Cam locked in and ready to go................ Her only complaint was that the car didn't seem like it was going fast at 80 :shock:

Very Very NICE! Definitely well worth it, and the wait.

Aaron, perhaps next year we need to put together a mid US meet. I am willing to drive half way across the country if you are ;)
