Thanks to Bob the mighty hunter

We now have a real race car thanks to Bob. He found her on Craigslist 15 minutes after she was posted.
Bob talked to Matt Bell the gentleman racer from Mountain View. And they seemed to hit it off right away.
He emailed me right away and told me that he thought that he found me a car. I was so excited I was checking my email every 2 minutes. Bob kept giving me up dates and telling me the latest news.
We finally got some pics to look at and it looked good. We set up a date for Saturday.
Bob , Matt V and my self drove south for a couple of hours and ended up in a really nice neighborhood in Mountain View. The address for the shop was really hard to figure out. Bob finally spotted the address and a big fancy Beemer that turned out to be Matt Bells car.
Bob called Matt B on his phone and a door opened on to the parking lot and there he was.
We were ushered into what looked like a high end car parts front office.
We were led into the main shop space and my jaw just about hit the floor. There was a late model BMW race car with carbon fiber under ware and the nose taken off with a big hole where the motor would go. Behind us was a 260Z that was waiting for a Chevy 350 transplant.
He walked over to one of three lifts and let down a 87 Golf that had its nose stuffed into the back corner like some naughty child. (She will now be know as Beemer Bimbo or Bunny)
Next to that lift was another one with a Datsun 510 waiting for a 500 horse motor.
I was in shock and just barely able to speak.
We all forgot to take pictures.
I have it all burned into my memory bank. I can print it out if you want a copy.
We poked and prodded her and hemmed and hawed.
We were going to try to get a compression test but we could not get her to turn over. Some one had tried to steal her and pulled out the wiring from the ignition switch.
So we started taking money. He said make me an offer and Matt and Bob looked at each other and said "How about $500".
Matt B said that sounds about right and I will bring it to you.
Wow.
I am still in shock.
The next day I waited till about 11:00 and called Bob. He said I was just going to call Matt B. I will call him and then call you back.
He calls me back and Matt B is on his way and his GPS says he will be there in 2 hrs.
He was there with 2 minutes to spare.
The rest is history.....
Bemmer Bimbo is kicking it in down town Santa Rosa at Matt V's stylish pad.
To be continued.......

Beemer bimbo

She arrives is style.

Looking good from behind.

Looks dam fine on the street.

I got the papers , it must be mine.

She looks good from all angles just dont look to close .

The second meeting went well. We discussed the $500 dollar limit and how that can be bent.
I really want to get a car so we can start on some thing.
The rollcage is the big ticket item to round up.
I hope I can come up with that one.
We were missing a couple of members but I think we talked about the important issues.
I really need to talk to the Secrets of Speed boys. The race licenses and the seat and ...........
Hidden costs.
Fire suits and helmets are the other big cost.
One of the team members is worried about the roughness of the first race and wants to do the road course first.
We will see.
I just want a car.
Still no mention of what the hell are we doing.

Good sign.

Wheres the car?
