What is this eggcrate you speak of?
EGGCRATE grille. CAPS ARE IMPORTANT

There some ice racing up in Georgetown, weather permitting, at least a couple of times each winter.  I need to sneak up there sometime when my wife isn't looking.  (She hates the idea of racing on a frozen lake, thinks I'll fall through or something).

Eye of the Tiger

Got the results:

Run 1: 107.562 - took it slow to learn the course, and it was really icy early in the morning
Run 2: 145.232  - hit ice and understeered into the deep snow, two course workers quickly pushed me out
Run 3: 170.312 - to liberal with the throttle, spun out, and got stuck in the deep snow, a bunch of course workers pushed me out
Run 4: 78.379  - the track was resurfaced, and the ice melted, so I got a nice, clean run!
Run 5: DNF  - understeered into the deep snow, ten people piling into the back of the wagon did not give enough traction, had to get towed out by the truck, and the truck pulled me off course and made me DNF!
Run 6: 83.686 - I didn't push it, because I didn't want to get stuck again
Final result: DNF

It appears my 170 second lap was the slowest of the day, and the fastest lap of the day was 53.779 set by that silver A4 I posted a pic of.

I didn't hit any cones, though!

This was actually an unusual event, because the course did not stay the same throughout the day. They kept changing it! Made it quite interesting.

I'm going to get the head gasket fixed.  I can do it in my garage.  Also, do you want a turn signal for the drivers side?  I've got one you can have for $15.

Umm... do you see anything wrong with my turn signal? :lol:

It's missing the lens.


UGH.  YOU HAVE AN EGGCRATE.  YOU WANT TO SWITCH?!


Sorry guys, but the grille and front lights from a 760 slant nose are not interchangeable with a 940 flat nose and vice-versa.  CJ, if you want an eggcrate grille to fit your 940, you'll need the grille from a 1990 740 Turbo.  (1991-92 740 Turbos had a blacked-out vertical bar grille).  1989 and earlier 740 grilles will NOT fit.

I have the fogs setup...it's just not currently ON the car.  They're in a box in my garage waiting for me to get a bumper and passenger side turn signal.

NO you can't have my car get your own TURBO.
