Dynamic Entry 2

Note: This is Andrew’s writing. He and I are former roommates and long time friends… and as he suggests, I have dragged him into an often tortuous car life. I’ve been bugging him for a while to contribute here, mostly because he does some cool stuff (like lap the real actual ‘ring and chase hashirya down Irohazaka) but partly because I occasionally feel guilty about the times he slays me in my own car and I make believe here like I am un-defeatable. Stand up and defend yourself mang! As the images suggest, Andrew now owns my old GDA. He and I will be running the ZN6 in C street at local auto-x in 2015. Q

annexe
/aneks/
noun:
a building joined to or associated with a main building, providing additional space or accommodations.

10 years ago I made a new friend. He taught me that it is OK to take cars apart and put them back together again. And even better than OK to put things back together differently.

I learned that is OK to buy a car sight unseen from another province, another country, another continent – as long as you can see the potential [fun/art/glory] in it.

During the last ten years I have been more of a wanderer than a property owner, so I never had my own space to occupy. Along the way I have managed to sneak many projects into the [qr] barn and some even onto this site. Some were gloriously simple (I still want Trackick/Funrunner in my life some days), some never saw the light of day (SVX wasn’t actually “mine”), and some will haunt me (I owned an e34 for 9 years and never managed to make it worth driving – literal shame).

Things have changed now and – although my garage is not actually wide enough to take wheels off both sides of the car at the same time – I have added garage space to the [qr] realm.

The amount of wrenching, fabricating and modification that occurs here will likely be proportinate to the square footage – but at least I finally have my computer plugged into The Source now.
