About:                     

I can easily get addicted.  It started when I was 3 with Hotwheels, progressed to car magazines by age 12 and then  moved on to actual cars at 16.  It has been that way ever since.  My most recent addiction however is Bullrun.

I've been into cars my whole life.  Every job I have worked at was in the auto industry including my current one with Autotrader.  If I am not driving my car, racing my car, working on my car, reading about cars or watching cars on tv......I'm either asleep or passed out in a ditch.  I have been accused of spending too much time learning about cars and know too many useless facts about them.

Mission Statement:

Our Mission is to drive hard, be smart and have fun.  We will use our brains and strategy to make up for my cars lack of range (MPG) and power.  That plus take a lot of pretty pictures.

 

Hen's navigating and 6 cans of redbull a day will get us to our destination.  The rest is up to me if we are in a challenge.

When all else fails, we will throw snowballs, beavers, beer, hockey sticks, mounties, maple syrup, Bob and Doug Mackenzie, and whatever else we can to slow them down.

About My Team:

Driver: A lot of experience driving long distances.  Great driving skill.  Some ability to fix my car (which happens......a lot.....) ability to go a long way without using the washroom.  I have done a lot of drag racing (mostly brackets) and a bit of road course experience.

Co-Driver: Great Navigator, great driver if needed.  Small and light weight = less weight it hurt fuel range, and less food to feed the little guy.  Would be a perfect partner to work with.

Car: Suberb handling, Rotary engine can take a beating.  Spacious for a sports car.  Decent power?

	Thanks! I'm not totally sure about that one. I know our cars' appetite for oil is pretty close...so is our fuel consumption.

By 99volvo, 02/17/10 - 0:41
	Hey thanks! Why do all RX8 owners insist on tearing their car apart? i have a buddy with one that continually takes his apart to work on it.-- just like in your video of taking your front bumper off, i can't count how many times we've taken any of his 3 off and on. i'll post the only picture of his rx8 i have on my computer (next to the '26 Ford Model T we restored last year :-D ) if you're part of the rx8 club you might just know him....

My Ride:

Make: Mazda
Model: RX-8 GT
Year: 2004
Color: Blue
Engine Size: 1.3L Rotary X 2
HP/TQ: 238HP / 159lbs-ft
Max Speed: 149MPH
0-60: 5.8-6.3 Depending on Clutch Abuse
MPG: Let's Not Discuss....

Team Setup:

Team: Canada RX-8
My Role: Driver
My Team Member: Hen

My Biggest Strength:

Our biggest strength will be a bulletproof car.  It may not be as fast as other rides, but without the mass of modifications, I will have no worries about it breaking down; no matter how hard I drive it on the road or in a challenge.

As a team, our biggest strength is that if we haven't killed each other yet over the past 29 years, what's 3 more weeks?

Friends:
