LOL! Freely! All my competators know about it. They are free to protest me 
anytime they like. The problem is, I can pretty much protest each of them as 
well. :)

This is either pre-coffee or you talked to Mike? :)~ 
LOL!! Oh-my! 
HEY! Don't be starting a rumor that im selling my bumpers, took me long enough 
to get a set. 
     THEY'RE NOT FOR SALE!
Randy is the King of DSP, that Spitfire is becoming more than I can handle 
anymore but I am STILL, the fastest, Quickest and best looking Scirocco in all 
of San Diego!  (And recently, the city of Orange too! AHHH!!) 
The seat was in the car my dear man. Looks like crap, but it is in there! You 
dont actually believe the Pottermans accusations, now do you????  :)


>Weight savings, kidding aside, anyone know how much that savings amounts
>to?  Curious.....

Yes I do. I weighed the new/old bumpers. The stock bumpers on a Scirocco 
weighed 15lbs front, 18lbs rear. The euro bumpers weighed 8lbs each. Most of 
the weight is in the bumper shocks of the stock bumpers. Its not a great 
savings but when you bolt them to the ends of the car, you mathematics going 
into the corner miltiply/amplify those numbers.
My 360degree freeway onramp speed went up from 55mph to just over 60. (Street 
tires) It was noticable by the seat of the pants feel.

I wont be going but it looks like Randy will be going this year. He finished 
3rd at the race in Norton. Not bad for having a severely screwed up front end. 
He probably could have beaten the RX3's co-driver. 

When are you gonna trek down?? Lemme know!
