Joy and Jubilation! My Z Gets a Makeover!

[sopwith21]

Greetings, Noble Z Car Brethren!

Sound the village bells! After 7 long years painted like a watermelon, my team's 260Z gets a beautiful new paint job in team colors with GT racing stripes. Take a last look at my car's pics cause it'll soon be a blazing white and blue speed machine. And you can see the last race as a watermelon here... scroll down to "Hallett Feature."

And what of the engine? Glad you asked!

A totally wicked new motor is on the way, allegedly before my next race on April 26th (and they bloody well better make it!). Woo hoo!

No more getting trounced on the straightaways and catching up in the next corner. No more bringing a knife to a gunfight. My 35-year old Z has 9 wins and 2 series titles and it's just now reaching its prime.

Beware, owners of BMW's, Porches, Camaros (holds nose) and other heathenous abominations that soil our land.

Rejoice, Z Lovers! Next time you see a white 260Z with way cool blue racing stripes and a big #21 on the side, say goodbye and get a good look at my bumper. (Insert evil laugh here).

Haven't seen you here for quite a while, Stephen. Looking forward to seeing pictures of the new paint scheme.

Motor pooped out last summer in a 2nd place finish. Had to sit out late the rest of the year while I worked ridiculous hours on a new TV project. Now that I have time to breathe again, its time to get back on the track.

So I'm giving the car a once-over, new engine, more horsies, new paint and signing on new sponsors. Dying to get on the track again.

I'll be showing it off here with new pics as soon as its done. Woo hoo!

No. But your Z looks cool.
