Hey Bruce,

I thought you were getting a Polaris GPS/DVD, how come you changed to the VMS unit? I thought they are twice the price!

Hey Bruce,

That was a big change of mind Rossco. With the lack of room in the TI and all the extra electrics I decieded to go with a in dash touch screen unit instead of the pc for a number of reasons. 1. Loading windows every time you start the car. 2 Updateing pc software all the time. 3. If I wanted all the good stuff in the pc it was going to bump up the price way over the VMS unit. 4. Gps already linked with VMS no need for internet dongle or phone.
And lots more. :eek: It just made sense.

Hey that was one way to gid rid of those couple of scratches on the bumper!

It sure is looking good, I 'm getting sorrier and sorrier that I sold her. It's not quite the same driving the 1988 GQ 4.2 Diesel.

Can't wait to hear how shee goes on the track.

Regards,
Glenn

Well you can have a little bit back if you want Glenn, in the sale area on the forum is the front bar, nudge bar and side steps. Oh she is a treat to drive now. We are heading up the tracks with a few others next weekend to give her the first run.
Elise is looking forward to it.
