Car is looking good! Are those speakers on the left rear?


Yessir...they need to have something to play their theme music :P

Those speakers have a LeMons history - they were in our e30 when I bought it. Reuse/recycle :)

Yes. You will hear the Magnum PI theme music blarring from them all weekend long. Well that, and a few other 'select' sound bytes. :wink: We wanted them facing the crowd as we drive by on the front straight which is why they are both on that side of the car.

I guess I missed the 8-track in the pictures! Good idea. You could also pipe out the sounds of a Ferrari engine to finish out the theme.

Just get that flat screen added in the trunk and you'll be stylin'

Hmmm...maybe we should look into that. While I calling them can you call your sign shop and have them look up 'contrast' in their dictonary.

Update from Team Magnum PU.

Testing this weekend at VIR was a success. Our car ran great, didn't overheat, and handled OK too. We ran three partial sessions and we were very pleased.

Stay tuned for race updates in two weeks!

The Grim Reaper team also took the car to VIR. Still in one piece after we finished testing. A few small items to finish up before the race. The THSCC should be well represented at CMP!

i thought you were going to get back around that Black C6 Z06 in the carousel for a moment there VK.

car sounds good. have you given any thought to the glare on the wind shield? could be rough in the morning sun.

Just close your eyes?? If that doesn't work, run a dark shield (that's what I do). I'm just here to help...

Might be a good idea to put some window tint on the top part of the windshield.
