Ciao da Lettonie!

[moro57]

Thank you for the warm welcome! Not sure about Latvian girls, they usually aren't too amused by a small old Japanese car that smells of petrol. Or is it just me?

As for the competition, it's not much to write home about. There is a fantastic time attack series in Baltics name Fast Lap with stages in each of 3 Baltic countries. Having had good fun doing track days I then wanted a tougher challenge of actual competition and participated in the series for two years. I drove in Street class. It was great fun driving and even more fun preparing the car, making it go faster. I love technical stuff . But then I've reached the point where I had to choose whether to make the car competition only or or be left for dead by track-only cars. And I absolutely love driving my 5 on the roads, so I've removed a big wing, put back audio, carpets and things like that and enjoy twisty roads

Here is how it was a few years ago



And talking about girls, this is Lithuanian pre-race technical inspection. Or at least that is what my wife is led to believe.



And a pic of engine bay to finish this off
