Poodle, these are for you. Maybe take your mind off the Atlantic for a little while. :cool:

The mischief is cool, but that site rocks. What is it? I saved it for later use.

Boxy,

that site is merely a search engine designed to search all items as described in Craigslist and or Ebay

The same thing can be achieved with a Google search

example . . . enter "Donzi 2+3 +craigslist" in the search window and the +craigslist defines where the search should concentrate

I've been searching craigslist like this for several years . .easy way to find the normally hard to find stuff.

Thanks Mario......

Hey since both you and Poodle are on this thread, do either one of you want to drive up to Calabogie MotorSports park for a track day next Friday?

Poodle, I'll give you a call this week, I've got some questions..... :D

Do you always put the blue tape behind your wheel wells? Does it help with gravel or rubber?

Nice looking track. I've never heard of it before.

A few weeks ago we ran at Thunderhill. Next we're heading to Sears again. And yes, we run the full track, not the nascar short-cut version.

What are you guys running?

What are you guys running?

2008 Black Mustang Bullitt.

I am looking forward to exploring it's capabilities a little more.

Mario, if you are ever heading this way, let me know. The track is close to my house.

After spending the day at Calabogie I can see why you guys love it. I'd go back today if I could.

The event was run by these guys En-Track (http://www.entrack.ca/) at Calabogie MotorSports Park (http://www.calabogiemotorsports.com/) .

The group I was with had little or no track experience and we went through 4 different sessions during the day.We worked on car control, hard braking, a lane change avoidance. (the lane change avoidance was fun, start box through three serpentine cones towards a flagman in a control box with a lane of cones left and right.)
Next was a small Autocross course which was a blast. I could have run it all day.
The last section before lunch was lapping the East section of the course, following an Instructor. We were split into groups of 4, I was with an older 911, a Jag 3.0, and a Broker from Calgary in a beat up rented Cadillac DTS. At one point I looked in my mirror after a quick down hill turn, and he was completely sideways :D
After lunch was full course lapping with an instructor, but with fewer groups on the track, and fewer cars per group. With fewer groups on the track we weren't running up on the group in front of us, so the speeds came up. I was right behind the Instructor in a VW GTi Golf.
It rained for most of the morning which made car control and smooth driving more important, but it had stopped by the time we went full track.
The range of cars was amazing, everything from a Carrera GT to a fullsize GMC pick up. There was a bunch of Z06's, a GT 500, a BMW A7 Alpina, a M5, a Viper, a couple of Ferrari's, and whole bunch of Porches ( Caymans, Boxsters, and a bunch a track cars)
It taught me a lot about my car, and I am going to try to get back this fall for a lapping sesion.

Now you're going to face the same problem I do: too many hobbies, not enough time/money.

Let's see, take the boat out this weekend or go to the track?

New set of tires for the car or an exhaust for the boat?

Tough decisions like these can bring men to their knees. :wink:
