Hello,

As promised, VRT showed up at California Speedway this past 7/21/06 with Speedventures to do what we have been talking about for weeks...

Our car was there, yet Ferrari Joe (360) wasn't NOR was USED with his East Coast Friends?

What - Up?

Plenty of fast cars though, multiple Ferrari 360s, 430s, Gt40s, new ZO6s, and Porsches. Oh well, here is some video, we had some fun at any rate.

Enjoy THE VIDEO...

Damn, I wish that I could have gone.

 

Sarcasm like that will eventually bite you in the **** homeboy. I thought that thread died weeks ago. Now if you have talked to USED in between then, my bad. I know your shop is doing well but never should you step on someone's back to lift yourself up. That's just rude.

 

nice video Mike...

may i suggest:

i've have experience with both systems... they work great and the video comes out fantastic...

 

Ok so you've got me on the internet with my shirt of and then later on with a slow warm up lap and me realizing that I forgot to bleed my brakes at the end of the front straight...a** hole.

 

do you guys have pictures of your shop and dyno?

 

^^^The dyno is at JWT. Why do you want pictures of that stuff?

 

Oh, didn't know you guys didn't have a dyno... How about some pic's of the shop?

 

Don't believe its there or something?

 

What? Is it some sort of secret...

 

Not at all, just an odd request IMO.

 

I'm not trying to start trouble, but I heard a rumor that VRT works out of Mike's house. Is that true?

 

Sweet vid. Wished I could have been there. Hate working weekends.

 

Pretty much. Mike has a good chunk of land out in the hills of El Cajon (San Diego). Its not some 1000 SF home with a two car garage like you may be picturing lol. Its more like a shop attached to a home.

 

It is a awful nice house on a chunk of land. There's a lift and a full sized shop. It's nicer than some of the garages that I've been to out here. I wish that I had enough land to put something like that on.

 

Well now I really want to see the pics!

 

really - you're working out of Mike house? Classic! My question wasn't a loaded one, just wanted to see pictures of the shop and it's the one thing that never shown on the website or forum... guess now we know why...

 

mraturbo, that's not a very friendly statement. I thought better of you than that.

I am very busy this time of year. You see, I'm like a singer/song writer. I not only run my business, I am the chief technician and tuner. So please understand the demands on my schedule.

I'm sure that silly thread has been going well enough without my input. I do have the Z. Actually I have three available, Nismo editions. I do have the 360's in three different trims. What I don't have is the time right now. I am too busy with customer projects. That takes precedence.

What we've been "up" to:




That's just today. Every car you see is boosted.

Best regards,

USED

Alberto wants to know where the hamsters sleep

 

Whats so bad about that? I personally feel more comfortable leaving my car at Mike's privately gated house that he will be at all night than some wearhouse in an industrial area of town. Do you base quality off looks alone? If so I have a piece of cow sh*t wrapped in gold leaf that I think you may be interested in . I personally judge a shop on how they deal with customers and the cars that they turn out. It may be crazy, but to me thats more important.

VRT has everything that they would have in a wearhouse shop; A lift, tools, tons of parts storage, room to store lots of cars, and qualified mechanics. It also has things that wearhouse shops dont; A private gate, an owner who will be within 100' of your car all night, every night, guard dogs, and a stocked kitchen .
