Yeah honestly I have watched Pinks a bunch of times and I think tonight was one of, if not the best episodes. Obviously I was rooting for Alex all the way, but both parties were class acts. Everyone was there because they loved cars and at the end of the day that is what its all about.
Listening to the radio show really changed my views of the show too, Rich seems to be a really stand up guy as well. I always thought he was a TV personality they brought in, but it sounds like he was the creator and really the man behind the idea. I agree with JR, the show is definitly evolving and I think tonight showed two teams who set the bar for sportsmanship VERY high.

i am trying to figure out a way for you to have your own show, without it taking up too much of your time.. you definately could take this type show to another level..
.
as far as tonight goes, quite entertaining, i am sure that all of your supporters were on the edge of their seat, as i was.. i was trying to get into your head and wonder if you over-compensated (for last week) during the negotiations as i don't see many people putting anything over on you... Some people have a reason for EVERYTHING that they do.. and i think that you are one of those, whether you just wanted to entertain or you had something else in mind..
.
i assume that you will look for a car to beat the woolly mammoth... that would be fun to win that car back.. all 15K of it..
.
or maybe race the Nova (i can't remember if you still have it)
.
i know that you won't take to heart any of the naysayers on the internet.. you are truly a class act and have raised the bar on Pinks..... the show is evolving as we speak..
.
your new best friend, ( i am joking) but i do owe you a weekend in Chicago.. when is the next Gumball??

it was cool that Chief sold and brought the car that they won, back to the original owner..

That was the best episode I have ever seen, good negotiations,
great cars (THE wooly mammouth !!), and we even got to see
the always elusive Chris Chow (way to keep it off the wall!).
Alex, we are anxiously awaiting some more vids of you silver
996TT in action (F1 Car, etc). And why dont you give your Viper
"buddy" one more try--it sure would be fun to quiet them down over
on the Viper Alley.
Thanks for giving us some fun memories and I also would like to find
out more about this Cannonball 3000. (How much?, how do you sign up?)

Alex R.,
.
i have been meaning to contact you.. you are so spot on, the XJR is truly a fun burnout machine.. especially in light of the fact that it is Jaguar 4 door sedan.. i can't tell you how much rubber i have burned up racing a female friend.., laughing and giggling all the way..
.
i must also tell you that possibly your next car will be a SL55 or 65... same kind of car but much more power and better burnouts.. i went from a Jag XK to the MB and haven't looked back.. just a very FUN car, WITH the top DOWN.. drive one, you will see.
.
good to meet you..

Chris Chow,
.
that certainly looked like fun driving the woolly, especially when you were heading for the wall, nice save..
.
as i told Alex, you guys put on a very entertaining show that was lots of fun.. no bickering or B.S., just some plain old fun.. by stand up guys, on both sides.. we all were on the edge of our seats.. it was amusing when you said: "we need the bottle" .. i also wondered why the drivers weren't wearing any fireproof stuff..
.
i listened to the second half of the radio show last night... and learned that 1. Rich C. is a cool, honest guy, who doesn't know much about cars... 2. that if you didn't listen closely during the TV broadcast, you might have missed the point that Alex was a alternate, since the van couldn't run.. funny thing is that Alex can ALWAYS be their #1 alternate, because he makes **** happen.. no one can be there with less notice than him.. and finally, i was reminded once again, that TV is all about editing..
.
what's the problem with the guys on: www.norcal1320.com
Sounds like they are jealous??
.
which by the way, i don't care if Alex stole the friggin cars, he made it to the show, one way or another, with a car and put on some entertainment..
Pinks will never be the same from all of the hype that Alex and you have generated..
.
i know that it was a great opportunity for you, but i wanted to say thanks anyway..
.

.
p.s. i see that the camaro, nova and woolly are all FOR SALE on PINKS classifieds..

Thanks for the kind words...we had a blast and PINKS...it is a phenominal idea for a reality TV show! Chris was over tonight and we discussed what to do with the Camaro that is parked NEXT to the NOVA.....we decided to swap some 3:73 gears in the 9inch and put on some 17inch rims with Nitto 555 R2's on all four corners...and then find some freeway runs for the car.....hmmmm maybe even a twin turbo viper
....as for the 1320norcal guy....I just dont give a flying you know what for his BS!
What rims do you guys think would look good on this car
HRE's??? 1994 ZR1 Vette Rims??? I am prepared to get a custom setup...
Videos will be up soon of some Mexico freeway runs!!
'Thank you' to everyone for your support...Does anyone have some '6speedonline.com' decals or do I need to get some made???

Which car are you planning to use for the ViperTT? The NOVA or the new Camaro?

We need to get an online 6Speed store set up. I would love to get some junk to show my affiliation.
