What?  You think you're gonna be able to drive like Steve McQueen just 'cause you move to San Francisco?   :roll:




Seriously tho, you should make a reproduction of the chase scene in Bullitt with your DSM.   :twisted:

thanks guys, yeah i'm disappointed that i wasn't able to do a snow tsd rally during my stint here.  but i love the nw, and if i have to look for a job again i'll definitely consider seattle again so that i can do a bc snow rally!

good news is that there are 3 new tracks for me to learn: infineon (sears pt), laguna seca and thunderhill.  i'll be sure to bring y'all video of it =).

Your photograpic style reminds me of those atlas's from the early 60s.. very dramatic with odd colour tones and almost cartoon like in their clarity.
