Why don't you just attach a file to your post. It is below the reply box and says "attach file"

It was my pleasure! Very much so!

The car was exactly as I have been led to believe. It rides like on rails; it handles twisty roads very well. There are a few details of the fit and finish that could be better, but if they had taken the car to that level I probably wouldn't be able to afford it. They did exactly as they intended to, they took it back to the roots of the affordable sports car.

stungeon was nice enough to stop by and give me a ride, and as an attempt to return the favor I showed him some of my favorite twisty roads in the area. A couple of times some slow driver showed up in front of us just before we got to a nice climbing S-turn, so we turned around to try it again! Those of you in the Raleigh area, have you ever driven on Purnell Rd.? That's where the video was taken (with my Sony digital camera).

(I'm pretty sure that if you ask, the moderators of this board will host your files for you. They'll give you the address & password of an ftp site, from what I have heard.)

Thanks again, stungeon!!!!

Looks like the movie is not showing up. Oh well. It was just about 10 secs of me going thru a corner.

Very nice! This really shows off the car!!!!!!!

So, was that just before or just after you got the speeding ticket? Was that a 35MPH zone and your doing 83??

Seriously, do you remember what RPM / speed you were at for this? it sounds great, look super and just plain old exciting.

Why not do that again and get a tripod for the camera. That would make the video awsome!!

stungeon was keeping it below 4000 and it was difficult, I could tell. The video (and the whole afternoon, I'm sure! ) would have been MUCH better if he could have wound it up a little tighter!

Yeah, it would have been better if the camera was steadier. It's just a little digital camera. Maybe, after break-in, we can get a real video camera and a tripod out there. I can convert camcorder to MPEG and post it.

I don't remember the exact RPMs but I was without a doubt below 4000. I have not taken it over that yet. What a sweet ride it is!!!!

Thanks again for the pics and videos bhobson333. I really apreciate it.
