....nothin' dirty, until you guys see these

I'm pretty sure this makes Taz the ONLY cabby with Graphite Rewinds on (I haven't even been able to find a pic of a MK1 with Rewinds...period)

Check out that dish, I am totally in LOVE!!!

Hey Speedtek, the pic of my Cabby in the "1st Annual Topless Meet" string, is photochopped with Rewinds!!! I was going to buy those too!
Nice choice!

LOL, I did see your photochop...but seeing as it wasn't real...I didn't count it....

I have a few of those around as well, but it really didn't compare to the real thing

Turn your speakers up for this one, one of the best audio captures for Taz's lopey idle I've gotten.

A nice clip of Taz rollin' down the highway. He's even nice and shiny as this was taken on the way home from the car show.

My buddy and I swapped cars for about 2 hours on the way home so he could get some shots of his as well. I hit 220 on this pass.

Now you know what it's like to be on the autobahn...LOL

This is one that I took while my buddy was driving Taz

Im thinking the latter!

OK, been a while since I've done anything to Taz that was really note-worthy. Mainly because I'm busy drivin' as opposed to fixing. Well, tonight I decided it was time to pull my rotors and get them turned (mostly because I finally found a place that will turn my x-drilled rotors) and replace the pads with the new ones I've had for a year.

Anywho, while Taz was out of comission, I decided it was time to dump the warped and half broken plastic duckbill. I had an inspirational thought this morning and couldn't wait to get on it this evening. I had some stainless steel shrouds from an old x-ray machine just kicking around and decided with a little cutting and bending that they wiould be perfect for my latest inspiration/madness.

Don't need these bits.....

Test fitting (again)

Almost finished product.....tomorrow we grind the edges, polish the face and seal the body/lip interface. I think it turned out pretty cool. B-)
