These are my 2 projects
Fine example of the S4 5cyl 20 valve in all its Fury !
1993 Audi S4 Emerald Green 18inch BBS wheels, 400+ horsepower. Oh the Humanity !3 Days Grace
Have you ever had a stretch of days, maybe even weeks where you head was all cluttered with too many ideas and thoughts ?
Thats me lately.
Being a Virgo, I'm somewhat OCD about everything, whether its my work, our place, my cars and my projects.
Take for example my obsession with fast cars. I like Audi's. Especially the S class . These are All Wheel Drive high performance turbo-charged Land Missiles. More often than not they are capable of putting out 350-450 horsepower and they handle like stink !
I'm currently trying to locate an S4 from 1995. These are very rare, and were limited in production. Their more sought after in certain ways than the current 07 Audi s4. Why ? Because they are built like tanks and are more open to owner modifications than nthe current model.
My 2 project cars at the moment are an Audi A6 which is a sweet car, but its not turbo and in all honesty I need more powah ! So I'll probably flip that to aid my aquisition.
The other is a rare Volvo V70T5 wagon. This one is super clean, full suspension package,Cold Air intake mod and 18 inch Enkei super light wheels. Its FAST ! 250 horsepower and it gets close to 25 mpg when you granny it.
Most people would be content at this point, but not me. I'm retarded. I feel a need for more speed !
I've spent countless hours on the internet and on the phone talking to people about finding one to no avail. Its almost a Holy Grail type pursuit, and being the Type A person that I am........I can't get my mind off the chase. I need to smack myself silly ! Maybe this weekends race will curb my enthusiasm a little.
While out on my last 100 miler I biked by Queechy Lake and was struck by how amazing the light is this time of the year. Around late morning, its absolutely glorious........very Hopper-like.
I need to get back to that area to make some images, for both photographs and paintings.
So last week was a Big Week block of training for me. Got in another 100 miler, 30+ miles of running and 1 OWS at the lake.
This week is of course a reduced week and small taper leading up to Saturday's race.
I'll head off to swim 3500 yds at the pool and maybe another OWS this afternoon w/ C.
Tomorrow will be a FULL rest day, get horizontal as much as possible.
Peace and be safe out there.
