Who are you, and what else do you own?

HOLY MOLY Reminds me of "Lois on the loose" by Lois Pryce. Saw her speak at the 1st Overland Expo in '98 or '99. She gave a speech and slide show on her trans-continental expedition on motorcycle. She did the Americas -Alaska to the tip of South America-, and also did trans-Africa.

Your bike looks even more prepared for that type of journey than hers! Great website too!

Thanks! We certainly brought a bunch of stuff with us but we had two people on the bike rather than just one I envy Lois for being able to take such a light bike which handles a lot better in the rough stuff.

We've met Lois a couple of times as well while she was on her book tour for Red Tape White Knuckles (London to Cape Town) she's a really awesome woman.

We had plans to head down to Ushuaia (southern most city in South America) but ended up living for an extra 6 months in Central America instead. Get vehicles across the Darien Gap is rather expensive so when we decide to do it we plan to fly into Buenos Aires and buy a vehicle down there, hit Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil, Bolivia, and Argentina before selling it and flying back.

I am very interested in getting one. I have been for a long time. I think I'm ready to get one now, just bad timing with the economy. I would have to trade my Ram. So, if anyone's interested...

Yeah I saw your ad on craigslist. I think you will have a hard time of it relying on a trade. I might have sent you an email about my for sale VX. I strongly suspect you will have to sell the Ram first then buy. Welcome to the community, and good luck with your hunt.

My other car is an 89 Corvette that I recently completed a frame-on restoration of. It's not old enough to pull the body, but it did need paint, interior and an engine refresh. (It's only got 60k on the body...but age finally catches up with a vehicle after 20+yrs.)

For the engine, I decided to build my first (and possibly only) performance motor. I built it with appearance, MPG, and emissions in mind (not typical for the sports car, performance-building community).

For now, I'll just post a couple of pics of the motor -- as it was the most complicated part of the restoration. I knew very little about performance building, computer tuning, engine porting and polishing before I started this project....

^^^ Very Nice Build and by the looks of it I can tell your Vette has to be TOPS as well. Vette's aren't slime, they are just that, Vettes! Never Replicated and always remembered.

Time Attack Car? That's a new expression to me...sounds like it'll be fast enough to transcend the space/time continuum?

Either way, 700HP in any car has to be killer fast...probably into the 9's?

For shizzle, faster than mine. I'm at 440rwtq and 350 HP at 5k rpms. These long-runner intakes are torque monsters. (Torque peaks below 3500 rpms!) But still... not bad with my close-ratio 6-spd stick. Haven't run it for a time-slip...but it'll get to 60mph in about 4secs.

Very nice! Love those 2-door coupes! Like the VX for example!

Very nice! LOL Time Attack is rather new to the scene as far as what it's become today. http://www.redlinetrackevents.com/ That is the major leader in Time Attack events.

You are correct. 700AWHP with about 550AWTQ (about what i'm aiming for with a 2.3L boosting at 40psi on C16) will break into the 9's with a good driver but it will be built for the curves
