Congratulations James !! You know you always wanted it & now you do, outstanding acquisition !! Plus you got Andy’s past knowledge about Celeste and that could help in the future. It will be a pleasure to see that sorted beast back out on our “local” tracks. Went up one level ya know.Well, my “budget mustang” has been sold.
Exactly one week ago I was at a friends wedding, four or five whiskeys deep when I receive a text from @Vettel-ish that his old car, Celeste (build thread on this site) was back up for sale. Andy connected me with current owner who lives in Alabama, we spoke the next morning, and I bought a one way plane ticket to meet in Nashville Tennessee on Saturday April 6th and drive the car home. I put my car up for sale right after that, and while it really hurts seeing her go I got what I was asking and I’m onto another. The purchaser is another younger guy who wanted to get into road racing, and flew into Chicago from Arkansas this morning and is driving her home as I type this.
I was seriously looking at purchasing Andy’s car last summer when he first put it up for sale, and I had been kicking myself since then for not taking the opportunity. It’s a lot more car than I need at my skill level, but it’s something I can grow into long term and is pretty much a race car that can still be driven to and from the track with no trailer or truck needed.
First track weekend is booked for April 27/28, so after picking up the car next weekend I’ll have to make sure the fluids and brakes are good to go and we’ll be right at the track!

Congratulations on the new car. Hope you will enjoy it.It made sense and it felt right and I’m ready for that car now. Feels good to bring it back to the TMO family!
I think we should name it Kumquat
