Very Nice!

"Kuis hurisee" is one expression in Finnish meaning "How are you doing"? So it seems Muki is doing great and going fast.

Well - not that fast actually. I am a complete rookie when it comes to drag racing and this is the car I have started with. It's a friend's 72 Camaro. A bit tough machine for a rookie. Gotta admit I didn't have the balls to push it, so a meager 13.4 secs was my best. Of course it's a good time considering how little I pressed the gas. I only have 4 passes under my belt now and all of them in this car.

Well, I am ok with the progress. This car is very powerful and therefore it's probably better for a beginner to take it easy.

Next year, a 500 Cadillac into the 442 Olds.

Saigon...necktie...you wear with a suit in an office environment (culture)...and I am more like a lumberjack type of clothing guy these days. Wife doesn't always appreciate how casual I am with my clothing, however.
