Default My First Flashing!!!

gdh and I went out for a late night cruise last night to see his new engine, etc (which BTW is f-ing amazing - thanks to mountainmotor).

Anyway, after we went for a ride we were stopped on the side of a deserted small town main street at around 10:30pm. A car starts out about 100 yards away and as it passes us, a well endowed (torpedoes:D) young lady decided to 'show us the goods' as the car full of exuberant puerile twentysomethings drove on by....

This is my first C3 flashing and it took 4 years to get here. I thought I'd share it with you guys in the hopes you could squeeze out even a little bit of the joy gdh and I felt last night! :yesnod: :crazy:

Guys they were spectaclular, I know that I have this permanent smile and little giggle going on right now. What a night, still breaking in the motor that MM designed, what a piece of art, as Flavio says "that thing sounds evil". After a run up the highway we found a small but worthwhile tunnel to explore the physics of sound. After 5 passes through it at high rpms we are nearly deaf. Go back to the small town that Flav left his car in and then take his beige beast out for a spirited run, btw forget those dyno #'s he had, something was definately wrong, he pulls like he has at least 230 - 240 rwhp. Now we get back to my car, while standing on the road beside out vettes this carload of young lovelies pulls up and flashes us, Those perky batoeskies are etched in my memory permanently now. :D :D (0) (0)

BTW, as soon as your engine is broken in, I will nominate you Toronto King of the C3 Hill. :cheers:
