Hey Franc, I would appreciate the use of one of them if you don't mind.

Put a small bottle/tube of Dramamine in your glove box. I didn't know I got motion sick. If I drive I'm fine, no problem having a great time. If I'm a passenger I try to watch the road the same as I would if I were driving. It isn't any fun to end up sick like that, pretty much ruins that day as far as eating/drinking.
Can't drive, can't eat, can't drink??? might as well go home.

I'm guessing from his earlier post that he still really likes them.
He probably put a good number of miles on them by now.
They just look so beefy -
I think I am going to pull the trigger this weekend.
Yes I still really like them a lot !!!
I looked at my receipt from February 24th this year and I have out almost 11000 miles on them and they still look like new. (even with a few burn outs...LOL)
Go for it Kim !!!

Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110
Rears are 285/35/19

Kim, I agree with your comment about the beefy look of the tires!! I love the way they look on our roadster! Gary is right, you need to do it and be sure to upsize the rears to the 285's we'll compare notes after our first run thru the Dragon!!!

I may find more use for a Bloody Mary on Saturday morning than Dramamine. Of course both might not be a bad option either.

Everyone has their preference, but I like the Motorola Talkabout EM1000R (22 Channels w/sub channels)
That is just one link I came up with but there are more. I picked mine up at Home Depot so if you have one of those near you, check in their electrical department...I didn't see it on-line.

We used this for the CAA this summer and I didn't hear any complaints about not hearing me...even when we stopped.

Have you been in the pay it forward thread? Myself, along with several other members are bringing parts for each other, same as we did at Woodward, as long as its nothing too big, we need to have plenty of room for booze

Evan or Franc, I would be much obliged for the use of a radio

Can't find the one I bought for the last Dragon

If his reply was a joke lol, I'd be interested. Do you know what they sound like.


EDIT: I found some sound clips and what I heard, nevermind, they sound like crap
