Old, retired, or otherwise unavailable (aka Banned) Mid-A OG's Represent.
 
So..........

The story begins......

Someone raised the question, of WHAT the OG mid-A members have been up to, and sure as Hoover wore a skirt, I HAVE the dirt.

There are many exciting adventures that our OG's have been partaking in, some of which have taken us halfway across the world. Since I am one of the only that is not banned.. I have taken it upon myself to keep you updated on my findings, and our stories....

First, for me....

After successfully enjoying 2 cross country trips in my Z, i have discovered drifting...

and that I am not that good.... YET.

BUT my tie down skills are rapidly improving, and will benefit me greatly in future rallies...

On to MDracer76 (AKA Mike D // AKA The banned one // AKA Mid-A DK )

Besides his normal 9-5, rumor is that he has become a spokesperson for Enzyte, the male enhancement pills.

and apparently....it works...

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...9/IMG_2035.jpg

Besides getting it on with the ladies and taking "lessons of the ladies 101" from Mr. S. he's been also attending drifting events with myself.

Here's he and myself during one of our lapses in judgment (yes we all have them...but this was Mikes fault Brent, I swear....look he's driving)

He's still has the Z, and occasionally is seen sliding around the Mid-A... despite his appearances he is friendly.... but keep your daughters away from him.

Now for Brent......

Well you see.......

When he's not running into furry little animals and practicing his tape skills for future rallies......

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...7/IMG_1110.jpg

He's partaking in MMA lessons in Australia where he is currently residing temporarily and occasionally making appearances here....with his trainer and sparring partner Sensei Kanga Roo.

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ight_brent.jpg

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...croc_brent.jpg

His Z car is still together and currently for sale as he has now purchased a GT-R and drives it ONLY when Mike D and myself allow him due to the car growing VERY fond of us... just don't tell him that. :)

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...t/IMG_8628.jpg

For questions and inquiries into the phenomenal 4.2L TT ZR just ask. It's up and running flawlessly.

Here is my long update.

Cliffs: grew up some, bought a motorcycle, bought a house, bought a dog, bought other new toys for new hobby, Z is done for now...I will return:)

After blowing my built engine up, I rebuilt it. Picked it up at the end of May from Forged. LONG (private) story short I wasnt 100% satisfied went to Ray @ PFS and he rocks.

After picking up the car from him in June something was missing, just going through the hassle of the rebuild, this and that, it's hard to explain. Right now I dont LOVE nor HATE my car. I appreciate it now by just letting it sit...2300 miles since May! I'll soon return to making her roar...

http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z..._8133Large.jpg

Bought a motorcycle in June, damn what a life changer for me. 6500 miles and still riding, even down into 30 degree temps. There is no description for how hardcore it is compared to driving.

http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z...de028Large.jpg

Leaning into turns > body rolling away from them

I then bought a house, with my GF of nearly 6 years (mid-a-mamma) and recently got a dog. An Italian Mastiff named Torque, he will be 100-130lbs of joy one day.

http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z...09004Large.jpg

Graduated from Towson University last year and have been enjoying my home, dog, significant other and riding to name a few-oh Im also addicted to COD4 on PS3 LOL. I guess Im getting old I dont party AS MUCH as I used to but enjoy the occasional night of insanity.

I recently learned the tags on the Z have been suspended since Nov 07' (when I built it the first time), and at the end of this month they are expired:( I will have a battle with emissions and the MVA to avoid fees and get it back on the road.

Life kinda took over for me, but Im not complaining. Ive gotten into other hobbies and for now dont miss the car too much. Occasionally I get the urge to rag the fawk out of it and go 160+mph, but it has bad brakes that need changing and it needs front tires so I'll get back to it this summer!! I always think about getting it to the track and hitting my goal but it would require money thay I dont want to spend on the cage/transmission/axles/etc.

I still rag on uneducated know-it-alls on this site when Im not busy at work lol that wont change.
