That picture of me cracks me up. I do believe that was after my burnout which means I remember nothing of it.

Had a lot of fun over out there for the meet. Definitely gonna make it to all of next years events also!

Hopefully I will make it earlier next time so I don't miss anything. The Regal should also be in better shape next year too!

What's the story on the camaro wheels? Looks like there a few km of offset away from perfection. Gives me an idea.

The only offset you can maybe alter is the rear. The fronts are as narrow as I could go with changing bolt patterns. Also doesn't help the Bonneville's have a .5" wider track pattern in front compared to rear.
