My boat is home, that is all

Nice bow spreader!!!

Interesting spray rails too.

Awesome!

Keep the graphics!

Sorry sir, you can't park that there........ Move it along now.

The graphics are definitely staying I think that mine is one of three made with the lightning bolt. My apt complex is (luckily) cool about that kinda stuff being parked in the lots.

Anyone have a cheap tiller extension they are looking to get rid of?

Shiiiiiit... when I lived in Cary, over at the Stratford, they wouldn't even let me pull the N20 into the parking lot to clean it.

Ryan,

Contratulations on getting the boat home. Definitely keep the hull graphics - but then they'd be hard to get rid of. The design is not vinyl nor paint - it's gelcoat and goes all the way to the glass. The boat is one of three with a similar design, all originally owned by Jim Howard (he and his son David currently sail the other two and look forward to seeing yours back on the water). Jim always said that Frank put the lightning bolt on upside down, so we called it the pterodactal boat.

The cheapest tiller extensions can be found at HomeDepot/Lowes in the paint department mislabeled as handles for paint rollers. Before you buy one, though, try the rabbit-ears tiller. It is very easy to use. The only drawback is that it's not long enough to use on the trapeze.

Regards,
Eric

Ha small world, we live at the Stratford now. The only thing they have ever given me some troubles about was wet sanding a project BMW in the parking lot

I am going to pick up one of these tonight and see if I can rig it up.
Its almost identical in lenght to the Arriba FX3. What is the best way to attach these to the tiller?

They must have had a change of heart. I brought it to the back lot where the "car washing" area is (which was also right in front of my building) to wash it. This was the picture sent to me by management when they told me to never bring it back again:

Yah they have totally differnt managment now, thats wild though...where the hell did they want you to keep it? Did anyone ever mess with the boat when it was parked down there?

Awesome Vehicross BTW!

Nobody messed with it. I didn't even park it there. At the time it was Trey's boat and he kept it out at Rtodd's house out on Lake Wheeler Rd. I just wanted to wash the damn thing :P

LOL you know what a Vehicross is? I had to trade it in. I gained about 50lbs and the seats pinched the blood flow off to my leg during long trips. I'd get out of it and couldn't stand up!

yeah man the Vehicross is awesome, totally wanted one back in college but couldn't afford one.

You can pick them up for cheap these days. Great vehicle. Tons of power - the best damn reactive AWD system I've ever driven (much better than the Audi trash they peddle) and the "what is that?" factor is unmatched.

hey hey easy, quattro is the ****! On the autocross courses I couldn't spin my tires or spin my A4 out no matter how hard I tried

Trash.

I think I saw you driving down the interstate last weekend, either that or one of the other two isotopes with the lightning bolt. You are definitely lucky to be able to keep it at your place.

I prefer the RWO plastic ones:

Awesome, fellow autoxers! I've raced Corvettes, Audis, Subaru, BMWs and had a couple 1st gen MR2s as well. (I'm on car #17)

The varying awd systems really depend on which model of them you get, my Quattro A4 was better than the open differentialed AWD I had in my 2.5RS, but not nearly as cool as the AWD found in the WRX/STI.

I've pretty much stopped autocrossing though, got tired of standing in 100 degree parking lots, and my wife really wasn't into it. I now drive a 100hp Jetta TDI. Slow and boring but 50mpg is awesome.

Sailing is something we both enjoy, and when it gets hot its much easier to cool off

I just picked my boat up last night, so it musta been one of the other 2 lightning boats

My bmw went from this

to this in 3 months of hard work


91 Miata


05 2.5RS
