What do you guys think???

Here are some picture of the speedy, took delivery at 1p.m. today. Drove it home and pick-up my #1 son at his friends house he was very suprised he ask me how it feels to have a car I always dreamed of, I said it feels pretty darn grreat. Got home and wifey wants to go for a spin so I take Pacific Coast Highway from Huntington Beach to Seal Beach 6 mile run. It was very beautiful and exciting, prep her on the powerband and the close ratio gearing and she drove home of coarse she wants to stop by our friends house before we got home. Moved a few things and she looks great in our garage so what do you think???

Desi,
The car looks awesome! Question - where did you get the rear fiberglass cover behind the seats?

Wow, was that fast....just 3 days after posting a question about wether to buy a speedster or invest in an opportunity to double one's money.....there sits the speedster. That is some fast soul-searching and over the holidays to boot. Congrats on your sweet new wheels.

Beautiful!! I'm smiling just thinking about how much fun this car is going to be for you.

Dead sexy. The roll bar is a nice touch, but silver on a flared body is gorgeous.

Desi -

...nothing more exhilerating than your first top-down Speedster drive along PCH on a beautiful day! That will be a lasting memory! Sweeeeet ride, drive on.

Cabanaboy is IN THE HOUSE!!

Peace - Out!

Desi, Desi, Desi... OMG what a dream... This is a sweet looking ride my friend. Sos much for the California investment market! I look forward to hooking-up with you in the near future for a sweet SoCal run. Hopefully you can make it out to the Del with us in San Diego. That would be a blast.

Congrats and keep the wind in your hair and the pedal to the Metal!

Thanks for all the positve feedback, the beautiful lady in the picture is wifey ( lucky me ),just got home from that investment meeting, must pray and wait for the lord. Back to the speedster it's powered by a 1915 mated to close ratio tranny with 4th geared up for freeway driving,it handles very nice at high speed 70-85mph the steering is tight no slop, so stoked on this tub, the panel behind the seat is aluminum( did I spell that right)as well as the center console, door panel, kick panel, wheel well cover, I'm so bless that the seller is a Metal guy who rolls and fabs just about anything,I probably left out alot more I'll post later (getting tired) anyway it's great to meet you all I'm planning on having tech nite at my shop in Irvine ( wrench and tinker on your tub- thursday if anyone interested??)

Desi, I'm totally interested in Tech night! I'm a newbie 'round these parts and pretty technically challenged myself. Plus, I think it would be fun to hang out wrenching (and learning) on the car with a fellow Speedster nut. Let me know when you plan on doing the first one. I can be reached via email -- polynesianpop AT yahoo.com

Congrats Desi; car looks cool!

COOL, tech night sounds like a blast.. I'll bring the donuts!

Have a great weekend, Cabanaboy OUT !!

Hey Desi!

Thanks for opening your shop with such a generous offer to host a 'Tech Nite". Unless I hear from you otherwise, I plan to show up at your shop Thursday nite (6:00pm). Even if nobody else shows up it'll be a great opportunity to see your new ride in person and talk cars.

BTW - I was at Crystal Cove this past weekend. My Speedster was parked in the main lot next to the 2 Ford GT-40s that were there. As you and your son realized, the weather brought out a huge turnout that morning. One of our fellow SOC members, Joe Lampariello, brought 3 of his other cars to the meet, 2 Lamborghinis (one metallic orange, the other metallic blue) and a red Ferrari F430 (?). You probably saw them/him there. Joe's a good guy.

I think you might appreciate this - but while I was standing by my car, a couple of the Porsche guys there asked why I would want a 'replica'. I said..."think of it like breast augmentation, (1) EVERYBODY knows they're not real, but they're...(2) still nice to look at and...(3) they're more fun to play with than the originals!!

Anyway, it's good to hear that you're having fun with the car - looking forward to meeting you.

Desi/Jim,
I will be there Thursday night. Looking forward to seeing your new ride Desi~

Thursday tech nite is on, allow time going south on 5 and 405. Anyone going to Del Coronado this Saturday? if so any time info would be great. Take care Cabanaboy OUT!!

Shoot.. I am going to have to mis this Tech night guys, but I really want to see Desi's ride... I have to complete a backyard deck I started and I am only on the framing (Almost done!)

See you all soon,

Speedster "D"
