    Okay, as poorly as it was, I'm not too ashamed to show my very first
    trek down the track in my Maverick.

    Even though there was work to be done (and still is), I felt it befitting that
    my first trip down the track would be at an MCCI meet. With all the
    'thrashing' I had to go through, I was fortunate to be there in the first place.

    Thanks to John and gang for putting on an unforgettable event!

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, this site has the best folk around
    (MCCI members and Non MCCI members alike).

    Thanks to The Big Cheese for providing us a place to learn more about
    these unique cars and a place to share our common interests and
    experiences (I think I'm gonna cry :WAH!: ).

    After 4 years of trouble and strife, grief and pain, in sickness and in health,
    without further ado..really, I mean it this time, I present to you...

    my first ever trip down the track.


    (what a build up, ay? :rofl:)

    Ha! That's a buddy of mine 'messing' with me. He posted "nice Pinto" on the other video.

    --------

    Thanks for the very kind remarks.


    One day, I'll have the engine running much better than it did when it was in my Mustang.

    Click here to watch '1990 Mustang' (not one of my best runs)
