Well after being nagged long enough by mitch and si... I thought i'd say hello officially.
Most of the Ipswich contingency of turtlespeed knows who I am, some may not ?
My name is david and as youv'e guessed I live near Ipswich. I have been messing around with cars for so long i'd really rather not remember.
Now I want your assistance in helping to make a desicion regarding my chevy !!!!! after the damage sustained at the track I have the option of either rebuilding as a race car again or building for the street ????
what do you think ???????
Dave, for what it counts as you know I'm not a muscle car man anymore but still appreciate them and I think the Chevelle would be a way cool,definitely unique street car if it could be re-incarnated that way. Lots of questions you've got to ask yourself too which you probably have already and still can't decide.
IE as Mr P asked ,,,is the balls out racing side gone enough to maybe just do RWYB or just spectate.
Do you still love the Chevelle to continue with in either street or strip? if not could you sell the shell and use the engine in a rather lively street car or is it not a streetable engine? either way could you sell all and have a fresh start.
I know you had your year of glory and a lot of fun along the way but I also remember when you had a rather rare 'ol Buick with a big455ci in it and had a big grin on your face every time you terrorised everyone round town with it. Can't somehow see you in a big 'ol boat of a cruiser but back out there in some nasty big block bruiser,yes!

Dave, you know what we think, You got racing in your blood, you would not be 100% content unless you could still go and kick some santa pod arrse, and to be honest i think once you get the thing rolling again the first thing you are gonna wanna do is go back to the pod, do the engine, and all the new stuff that goes with it. and in the mean time, we need to keep onto wilf about that poxy camero, IT WILL SEE THE START LINE AGAIN COME HELL OR HIGH WATER!!!!!! If you drove that instead of yours (if we can get started on it, it is closer to the track than yours if we are honest.) i think it would answer your own question. Besides you know you already got the all new split P Pit crew sorted. the same one as Wilfs rat.

TBird · Newbie

Well mate if you do put Split Personality back on the strip you know have one crew member. Lets get out there and kick some ass.

TBird · Newbie

What do you mean " poxy Camaro". You could hurt my feelings (If i had any)

Doris · Veteran Member

You know i mean it in the nicest possible way sweetie, its just she deserves to not be stuck in the back of the workshop looking all sorry for herself when it wouldn't take that much to at least get her running so you could buzz around nats etc in it, or get dave to clear her lungs a bit on a rwyb. you know how i have a thing for cars looking all forlorn. thats how i ended up with my peice of rust, as much as i love Doris to bits and anyone else insult her and they are toast, but to be honest she's not the most...............complete car ever, considering the panels are still on her. Although if your not carefull that same instinct may take over and i start going all gooey. (Is that the sign of a sick puppy or wot? the sight of babies makes me run. FAST, in whatever direction they are not. Sight of a car looking forlorn and i go all goey inside!)

dell · Higher than Mr Bowtie

dave i agree with wilf,got the car, got the crew,got most of the bits, and most of all got the know all so lets get out there and do it.

mr bowtie · I love Drag!!!

dell · Higher than Mr Bowtie
