Summer time, i rarely put my top on!

Even though i have working AC, and it's nearly 100f, i do a daily commute @ 45min (one way)!

I just need to know when, if my car is together that weekend, then I'm sure my wife would love to spend the day in park city.

And i saw stradman had a vid at cars and coffee the other day, i saw a glimpse of a red C4, i wondered if it was yours.

The Stradman.


Yep that was my car. There were only two 'C4's there; mine and a guy that has a nice, clean '90 ZR-1.

It's the 3rd Sunday of every month.

It's good stuff. About the best technical info I think you'll find on the car. Glad you liked it!

Thanks Tom for a good read. The amount of engineering that goes into these cars is fascinating.

I would be VERY careful taking your car to a tire shop, especially if it's a chain where the techs know nothing about what they are doing. Not to scare you but, here's my horror story...
