I miss rally

I'm not sure many people are visiting this blog these days, but I was busy goofing off over the lunchhour at work and thought I'd post.

I have not yet sold the rally car, although have had a couple people express interest. Of course, I'm not trying very hard to sell it either. Besides the post on specialstage.com in the western canada forum, where I suggest I might be interested in selling, I've done no other advertisement. As I've stated before, if it doesn't sell then I'll keep rallying it. If it does sell, I'll build or buy again.

I've been so busy this summer with 'work' work, and yard work, that I've barely had time to think about rally. But watching posts on facebook where friends are talking about getting together, and the "looking forward to seeing you at PFR this coming weekend" statements, it sure makes me miss the sport. The people and the racing are definately what I miss most. But seeing as I'm a bit of a loner with my spare time, I really miss the garage time working on the car too.

But, that yardwork needs to get done and the bills need to get paid, so It will be a few months yet before I get to turn wrenches on the/a car again.

Sidenote: The above statement reminded me of a converstation with a co-worker I had a couple months ago (he also likes to tinker with cars). We were remarking that you're not really a home mechanic until you've caught yourself on fire. I thought this was kinda funny, since I remember at least 3 times I've done this.

So...good luck to everyone at PFR, say hello to Helmer for me (I love that road!)
