Default Test drive with Ron Fellows [PICS]
Thursday Caleb and I met with Ron Fellows so he could take a quick street
test drive with one of our packages. We had this Ron Fellows Z06 in the
shop getting our Stage 1 package and we thought it would be a great
opportunity.

The setting is the Blue Water bridge between Port Huron, MI and Sarnia,
Ontario, Canada.

Enjoy the photos:

Did you charge extra for Ron's other signature?

No. I did charge a premium for my signature on the upper radiator cover though.

So the question is: "Did the drive sell him on an upgrade on his "personal" 001 car?"

I can't see him driving a "standard" anything after driving C5R's & C6R's all this time (with Katech power of course!)

I don't know about that. If I drove racecars for a living, I don't think I'd have any need for an ultra-fast street car.

A man has to know his value.

that engine looks SO good without the fuel rail covers. why cover up such an amazing work of technology and engineering? Beauty covers? Right. Better to look at the engine itself!

Thank you, but they are not fire. They are ruby lenses that Cyclops wore in X-men.
