Default What happened to the Colonel??

I havent seen him around here in quite some time. Maybe Im missing his posts or maybe he isnt around.

I was curious what happened with the new engine he put in the car.

Joined an elite special forces group just to do something different. He's been over in SWA hunting Bin Laden. You'd never recognize him if you saw him. He looks just like one of them now

Yeah where has he been. Last I heard he was having a new engine built at MTI and that was a long time ago. Haven't read a post of his since.

I dunno, I'd think the white hair, white beard, and 'smells like fried chicken' would give him away as an American.

I'm just a lurker now.

The black car is STILL at MTI. No changes to the blue Z or 'Vette.

This past year has been all kinds of CRAZY for my personal life (it's all good now.) That and not having a racecar since August has kinda taken my interest of these cars for awhile. When I get the black Z back, I'll be back.

Thanks for asking.
