Posted May 17, 2016 *Kevin is taken back by the outburst from Elexis, before turning back to Rosso* "If you know that I have a shop, then you must know the kind of cars that get worked on in there, so you must know that if someone tried to rob my shop they would have a much larger problem than the cops. And just because you where in you lane doesn't mean jack shit to me, you blew through a stop sign, my tires are probably ruined from having to brake so hard, and it is a fucking miracle that you didn't kill some one driving that piece of shit that fucking fast" *Kevin finally notices all the guns* "Fucking hell" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 17, 2016 "Wow, someone ripped you the fuck off, I have the same size engine in here that produces more power, and I can actually stop it without needing a fucking runway when I am on the highway. I would hate to try and park that thing in a fucking empty parking lot.

Posted May 17, 2016 *She is enraged at Michael* "These boys are the sons of a police officer and they're going to be protecting your asses in the military in a few months." *She calms herself* "I don't know on what basis you think they were the ones who killed your friend, but as far as I know, they're just coming for a job interview to work at the showroom. For now, I'm their guardian and anything you want from them goes through me first. May it be a beer or a bullet." *She crosses her arms.

To start, I don't own any super cars or anything like that, so lets keep it to under 600 horse power. I will send someone over in the next day or so with a few race routes for you to choose from, then you can take however long to learn them, but know this, I know this city better than just about anyone, so no shortcuts. I still need a few days myself to finish my racing car, so you can take that time to prepare anything you want" *Kevin turns to get into his car* "Oh and this car cost me 150k brand new, I didn't touch the engine on this beast, she is my show car after all" *Kevin turns the engine on and revs it a few times* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 17, 2016 *Kevin drives off back to his apartment, his mind buzzing with ideas. Once he is back home, he calls up one of his drivers* "I need you to put a package together for me of all of the race courses we run through the city and give it to Jack, make sure to tell him to bring it to my apartment, thanks" *Kevin takes off his jeans and t-shirt, and flops on his bed, falling asleep before his head even hits the pillow. Kevin wakes up at 230pm, takes a quick shower, and walks out into his living room wearing a fresh shirt and pair of board shorts, there sitting on his coffee table is a manila folder with the courses he had requested. He goes through all of the courses, selecting three for Rosso to choose from* "This guy is just a business man, he will probably go for raw power, maybe a low weight car, most likely stock, or stock compared to mine, so lets make sure he has to go around some corners" *Kevin grabs a note card and a pen, and writes out three days, Wednesday, Thursday, or Saturday, with three times on each, the ones for Wednesday and Thursday being 9pm,10pm, or 11pm, with the Three for Saturday being 3pm, 5pm, or 9pm. Kevin paperclips the three routes and the card with the dates and times together, writes his phone number on the front of the folder, and heads down to the street, where he hops in his Ford Ranger and sets off. He stops at the Prestige Motorsports dealership where he drops off the folder with the front desk, telling the person working there to give it to the owner, and he sets off again, stopping at a nearby parts shop* "Hey Jon, did my parts come in yet" "Some of them did, your new tranny and the turbos are here, but the rest should be here tomorrow, I guess the shipment was delayed" "Alright thanks, I will pull my truck around back so we can get the parts loaded up" *Kevin gets in his truck and brings it to the loading bay, where they put a wooden crate in the bed, strapping it down. Kevin then grabs the two turbo charger boxes, placing them in the back of the cab. After double checking that the crate in the back is secure, Kevin sets off back to the chop shop. Once he is there he calls up his head mechanic* "I know that it is Saturday, but I need you to come down to the shop as soon as you can, I have a big project I need finished as soon as we can get it done" *By the time that the mechanic arrives, Kevin has set up a ramp leading from the bed of his truck down to the ground inside of the shop, and has set up a large arrangement of parts near the BMW, including the two new turbo chargers* "So, what is this big project" "We need to finish my car as soon as we can. I just ordered a pizza if you haven't had dinner yet, so while we wait for it to arrive, call everyone and tell them the shop is closed for a few days, and once you are done that lets get this unloaded" "On it boss" *As the mechanic is making calls, the pizza Kevin ordered shows up and gets payed for just as the mechanic finishes up the last call* "Lets get this unloaded, it doesn't way to much, but I cannot risk any damage right now, there wouldn't be anytime to get a new one shipped" *The two of them unload the crate and pull the transmission out, adding it to the collection of parts* "So here is what we need to get done" *Kevin says between bites of pizza* "I want the tranny, driveshaft, and the turbos done tonight, if we have time lets get the suspension done. The rest of the parts I ordered should be in tomorrow, Jon is going to open up just for me so I can grab them, so after the race starts tomorrow, I am coming back here to continue working" "Well, what are we waiting for, lets get to work" *After working for 6 hours the time is 9pm, the two of them come out from under the car, both wiping transmission fluid off of there hands. Kevin goes over to the lift controls and lowers the car onto the ground. Once the car is lowered they open the hood and set off removing the old turbos. Once they are removed, the two of them start working on getting the new turbos fitted* "I have been meaning to ask, whats up with the different turbo sizes" "Turbo lag, the small one spools up quickly giving me power quicker, while the larger turbo takes longer to spool up, but should give me a lot more power. The amount of work I have already put into this engine I was getting around 530 hp, I am hoping after these turbos are on to see around 560, 570. Once all the parts are on, we will get your computer guy in to fine tune the cpu system, I am aiming for 590 hp, although for this race I have coming up I cannot have more than 600. I am hoping for a shit load of torque as well, stoke we are looking at 400 lbs-ft" *After a few more hours work, the turbos are installed, with the engine running properly* "Lets call it, its 1am, get some sleep, we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow" "See you tomorrow boss" *Kevin makes sure the shop is locked up before he heads home, passing out still wearing his clothes* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 17, 2016 *After Elexis has recovered a bit from the rush, she escorts the boys to the back of the showroom where the maintenance happens. She stops infront of a Veilside RX-7* "This is one of the Underground VIPs. The order was to fix the engine timing, fuel mixture, and turbo lag. It's called SpineBuster. It has the potential to produce 400hp, but only runs on 230. I heard there was some mixup when setting up the ECU and it almost got our client into an accident." *She walks around the car with her arms crossed, picking up a small tablet with a cord running out of it and hands it to the boys.* "You know how to use this?" *The boys nod* "It's all just pressing buttons anyway." *The second one fixes the statement* "And math that I'll do." *Elexis gives a subtle chuckle and hands it out.* "I'll think of what I'll pay you after I see the results." *The boys give off a worried smile. Elexis walks away to her office. The teenagers look at each other and discuss something in a self-hating manner.* "Oh man what have we gotten into." "Don't worry, I'll handle it." *He connects the tablet and scans for errors. There sure is plenty.* *He disconnects the computer and starts the engine, letting it run before starting to rev it. It farts like a boat and revs like a whistle.* "That doesn't sound healthy." *He cuts it, sticks the computer back in and starts messing around with errors.* *Hour passes and Elexis returns with a luxurious mug in her right hand and cans of coffee held in the other. She hands both cans to the boys.* "You drink coffee, right?" *They accept* *The trio takes the RX7 to the showroom dyno, engine now sounding like a proper turbo'ed rotary. They run the dyno and the reader spits out 430hp.* *Elexis widens her eyes in surprise. She compliments them on the job and tells them to come back tomorrow when Rosso has chilled a bit. She slips them a 500 euro bill.* "250 for each.. you're gonna have to visit a currency exchange. Should translate to 280 dollars." *The boys are happy and promise to be back tomorrow.* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) *waking up its Saturday at 11am. Rosso walks downstairs and into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee. As he sits and drinks he begins to think about the race* "He a pro mechanic so he know his stuff. I need something fast but agile and quick on its toes. It's got to handle and corner" *Rosso gets up and starts to pace back and forth. Then it hits him* "yes this is perfect" *excited Rosso grabs a coat and heads to the garage where he grabs the keys to his F12 Berlinetta and takes off. While driving he gets an emial from an employee that contains pictures of some papers with race times and Kevin's signature at the bottom. After about an hour and a half he arrives at a his beach front home. He pulls into the driveway in front of the garage. He gets out, walks over and manually opens the garage door. In the back corner there's a car under a grey tarp. Walking over to it, he removes the tarp. Sitting there partially finished is a black 1994 Porsche 964 Targa.* "God it's been a while since Iv worked on this" *Looking around he sees aftermarket performance parts in boxes all over the place.* "it's already got the RWB Kit done to it but the engine..." *Rosso knowing he's going to need a hand, he calls a friend of his that lived near by. About 30 minutes pass and a dark green 240sx Zenki rolls up with a loud pop from the exhaust. The car door opens and slim fit woman wearing a white crop top and grey sweat pants emerges from the car.* "Rosso!" "Oh hey Katrina" *he smiles* *she walks over and gives Rosso a hug* "So what's the deal? You came to give me a visit?" "ha, no I have a race coming up and I need help with this build I got two days to get this finished." "Well that's is a lot to do in two days Rossy" "please stop calling me that" *she laughs and walks over to the car* "So... What are we looking at in terms of performance?" *rosso walks over to her and shows her the partially assembled engine* "so this guy I'm racing his name is Kevin." "wa wa wait, Kevin...? As in Kevin McNabb?" *rosso looking confused* "Yeah I guess, what's the big deal?" "what's the big deal!?! He the king of the underground racing and you challenged him?" "Yeah I guess so" *she puts her hand on her head* "oh your so dumb Rossy" "He said I can't have more than 600hp and that's about it but I have an idea to get more power theoretically." "alright Rossy lets get started" *as she picks up two large turbo chargers* *Hours go by working on the Porsche. Soon it's 3am Friday morning. Rosso looks over at Katrina almost passed out on the work bench* "Look we got the twin turbos installed, we installed new performance coilovers, connected the head and tail lights, striped the interior, installed the racing harnesses, installed the new ECU, and finished installing the rear RWB fender flares and spoiler. I think it's time to get some sleep." *Katrina looks around at Rosso* "Yeah Rossy lets call it a night" *Rosso gets up to go inside but is stopped by Katrina's voice* "Rossy... carry me" *as she stretches one arm out towards Rosso* "You got to be kidding me right" "Mmmm please. Come onnn" *she says tiredly* *he sighs and carries her inside and lays her on the couch placing a blanket over her and then going upstairs and falling a sleep.* Edited December 8, 2016 by DeFalt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This race of yours...im guessing your races become quite the feast for the pigs.

Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) *Waking back up, it's 8am Sunday. Rosso gets up still in his clothes from yesterday and walks down stairs to wake Katrina. When gets downstairs to the couch Katrina is gone. Curious Rosso looks around and the all of a sudden Katrina comes into the living room with a tray.* "Here ya go Rossy" *as she hands him a plate and coffee* "Ha, thanks and please stop calling me Rossy" *she giggles* "no can do Rossy" *defeated Rosso sits and eats. After he's done he walks back into the garage and looks at the nearly finished car. Katrina soon follows and enters the garage* "We did a lot of work last night dude" "yeah we did but there is still work to be done. There is one last thing I need to add." *he walks over and pulls out some small piping and hoses* "A rally spec anti-lag system" *he smiles* *Katrina in astonishment* "holy shit, no way. Your crazy. Nobody knows how to install that, I don't even think Kevin does... Why is that you may ask? Because they are highly illegal around here and draw to much attention. So nobody buys them and runs them" *Rosso with a grin on his face* "Well I'm going to install this. Kevin is probably going with some kind of small turbo big power hybrid thing like Iv seen on a lot of racers cars around here but this will blow him away. I'll always have max boost and torque." *Katrina looks at Rosso with a sort of admiration but with an "your and idiot" attitude* "Alright fine, lets do it" *she says* *a couple of hours go by and finally the car comes together. Rosso reaches and lowers the hydrolic jack from underneath the car and gets in the drivers seat* "Hey Katrina can you grab that key of the work bench?" "yeah sure" *as she tosses the key to him* "thanks" *he puts the key in the ignition and gives it a hopefully turn. The Porsche starts to turn over but won't idle. Nervous he gives it another turn. The Porsche the fires up letting out massive roar throughout the house and garage. Rosso lets it idle for a minute and then gives it a couple of revs. He revs the car up to 4,000 rpm first and hears a small but loud echoing crack and pop from the exhaust he then revs it up to 7,000 rpm and let's of the gas. The car lets out multiple flame spitting cracks and vicious pops before setting back down to idle speed. With a huge smile on his face, Rosso gets out and hugs Katrina and with laughter* "holy shit it works, damn that anti-lag is loud" *Katrina with a satisfactory smile on her face gives Rosso a high-five* "Good freaking job Rossy we did it. Now how about we take a ride in it and go get some lunch?" *Rosso looks at Katrina* "That sound like a plan" *They both get into the Porsche and slowly back the car out the drive way as it pops and cracks the entire time. Rosso then lines up strait with the road. He hold down the clutch and revs the car to 8,500 rpm. The boost gauge climbs rapidly and the car starts to spit flames and crack. He dumps the clutch and the Porsche launches hard with no mercy down the road screaming the whole way* Edited May 17, 2016 by DeFalt 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) *630am Sunday, Kevin wakes up, gets cleaned up from the night before, and gets dressed in a dark grey button up shirt, a pair of dark jeans, and heads out to start the days race. He pulls up in his truck, gets out and gives a quick speech to the group of racers milling around the starting point* "You all should already know the rules, but it doesn't mean I wont go over them again. The course goes all around the island. There is no set route so long as you get the required amount of kilometers on your odometer. Avoid contact with your other racers as best you can, I understand that shit happens, but don't be taking people out on purpose. This is an endurance race as much as anything, so don't expect any sympathy from me if you lose because you fucked up your refueling. Get to your cars, and go when the flag is dropped" *Kevin gets in his truck and sets off as a cacophony of engine noise is heard as the drivers set off on the race. Kevin goes to the parts shop where Jon is waiting for him. Kevin parks in the loading bay, where his truck bed is loaded to capacity with wooden crates. Once the load is secured Kevin says farewell to Jon before heading to the chop shop. After parking his truck inside of the garage, Kevin notices that the head mechanic is already there, working on the BMW* "You got here early" "It's been a while since I have had a project like this to work on" "That is great news, I haven't heard when the race is, but we need to be ready for at the very earliest Wednesday night so lets get to work, I want the weight reduction done, along with the roll cage tonight" *After working for a few hours, almost the entire interior of the car is stripped, leaving only the dash and steering wheel intact. The two of them install the two racing seats with harnesses, then get to work removing the hood and the doors. Once the hood/doors are removed, they begin installing the custom carbon fiber roll cage, before unloading the crates from the truck, pulling out four custom carbon fiber doors, as well as a custom carbon fiber hood. The head mechanic turns to Kevin* "You where not kidding when you said weight saving" "Why else did you think I got a single clutch tranny instead of a duel, that alone saved like 100kg, this thing is going to go like a bat out of fucking hell, which reminds me, did you remove the air conditioner?" "I did, I figured you where going for as many hp as you could" "Good call" *After spending a few more hours on the car, the two of them take a break to eat* "So, what do you think he will be running" "If I had to guess, some sort of Porsche, business men like him think they make good race cars, he might take the lazy route and pick a Ferrari, something like a 458 has under 600. I do hope he chooses a older Porsche though, those things are fucking suicide to drive, the engine over the rear wheels cause massive, unpredictable over-steer, either way my girl here should be good enough for me to run laps around him. I think it is time to run this beast on the dyno" *Kevin and the mechanic finish eating, and strap the BMW onto the rolling road, and run the tests* "Fucking hell man, I am reading 579 hp" *A smile comes across Kevin's face* "Shit, we could probably break 600 if we wanted easy, I have never had to tell the tuning guys to not go full out before" *They move the car back onto the lift, and bring it a few feet off the ground. They take the suspension apart, install the custom lowered kit, and put on a custom set of lightweight racing wheels/tires. They lower the car, admiring the handywork. The time is 11pm* "Great job today, now go home, there isn't very much left to do, but lets get it done early so we can get some tuning, and some driving done" "Night boss" *Kevin's phone rings, a unlisted number* "I can handle some cops, but you have my interest, what kind of work do you have in mind" ((Waiting for @Herzog to reply)) Edited May 18, 2016 by Dekan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In return ill talk to the pigs down at the PD and see what immunity perks i can pay for" *He pauses for a second* "If all this goes well...i can see some good business between us" "Make up your mind....meet me at the pier by the resort with your answer at 2 o'clock sharp" *Michael hangs up leaving no room for Kevin to say anything.

Posted May 18, 2016 *On the way to get something to eat, Rosso turns a sharp corner. As he turns the rear wheels break loose and the car goes into an uncontrolled skid. Rosso tries to regain control but then the tyres grip up and the car flips around a total 180 and comes to a stop.* "What the freak Rosso... You ok?" *Katrin says* *rosso concerned* "yeah I'm fine you?" "yeah" *Rosso slowly pulls up to the curb and gets out to inspect the car.* "Fuck, I didn't want to have to do this but... I needs a wing" "yeah no kidding Rossy, there is no way your going to get around any corner without one" "I know but we will have to order a whole new bonet for the rear because the RWB race spoiler is all one piece" "yeah but you won't need like one of those huge ones just a mid-sized duck tail will probably fix given its placed at the right angle and long enough." *Rosso looks around the car and noticed a massive scratch down the right side of the car and the rim slightly warped* *he sighs* "fuck... We are going to need a new paint job and wheel. I don't remember hitting anything but then again it happened so fast" *Rosso locks the car and walks over to Katrina* "Hey look well the outdoor bar is right up the road. You coming!" *Katrina looks at Rosso* "huh, oh yeah of course" *Rosso and Katrina get to the entrance and find a table. They order some wings and a couple of beers* "So Katrina, before this little project it had been a while since we had seen or spoken. I think it was like back in college the last time we spoke. *laughs* you we're so shy and quiet. And you used me as a ticket into all the senior parties since you were a sophomore." *she giggles* "yeah I did, probably the best idea I ever had and what do you mean I was quiet. You never spoke to anyone except me and your super serious business friends." *laughing* "hey well it payed off being a boring nerd cause now I get to do what I want whenever I want. How that for being boring?" "I guess your right. You ready to go Rossy?" "stop calling me that. And yes let's go" *They walk back out to the Porsche and limp it all the way back to the house. Parking it on the garage Katrina gets out and goes inside upstairs to a bedroom. Rosso gets out and puts the car back up on the hydrolic jacks and begins to remove the wheels and bonet. He then goes upstairs to his room and gets on his laptop. He goes online and orders a whole new set of wheels, tyres, and the RWB spoiler. He orders overnight shipping and walks back downstairs. Katrina come back downstairs in short black nike shorts and a red t-shirt. She walks into the kitchen and begins to cook* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2016 *Kevin hangs up his phone and heads home, falling asleep almost immediately. He wakes up at 6am, no longer able to sleep, and heads off to the shop after getting cleaned up a bit first, arriving at 7. When Kevin walks in, his head Mechanic is already hard at work* "Jesus dude, what time do you get here at" "630, I know you really want the car ready as soon as possible so I figured I could get a solid head start on the final touches, the tuning guys should be here soon" "Lets get that exhaust done soon then" *After installing the new exhaust, almost on cue, the tuning guys show up* "I am sure you guys got the brief, but I have a race in a few days, I need this car as close to 600 hp as you can get it without going over" "Give us a little bit of time and we will get this thing purring" *After working on the cars computer for a hour, the BMW is rolled back onto the dyno, and tested* "It is reading 593 hp" "That is perfect, lets get the front splitter, the rear diffuser, and the spoiler on this thing, along with a final surprise I have, and lets get it to the docks for testing" *After spending a hour installing the aerodynamic kits, Kevin goes over to one final unmarked box* "And now for the surprise" *Kevin pulls out a large blue bottle* "We need to hide this in the car, make it so that it is nearly impossible to find" *After messing around for a hour or so, the Nitrous Oxide System is installed in a way that makes it extremely difficult to find without the use of tools to take parts of the car apart, with the button hidden among the other buttons on the dashboard. The time is 1230* "Lets get my girl down to the docks and run some tests on it" *The team loads the BMW onto a trailer, hitched behind the mechanics truck, and everyone drives down to the docks, and by the time they get there and car is unloaded, the time is 130 pm* "Right, so we are just going to test your shift timing, and try to wear in the clutch a bit, so just drive around for a bit, get a feeling for the handling, and the computer will tell us everything we need to know about how the car is performing" *Kevin turns the car over, and just listens to the sound that the custom exhaust system makes as the computer is set up to take technical readings from the engine* "Off you go" *Kevin takes off, weaving through the lanes of containers, and almost immediately feels like he isn't getting enough power, after a few minutes he drives back to get the readings* "The power just isn't there right now" *The tuning guys study the readings on the computer* "You are shifting way to early, this car is going to excel at the high end revs. I know you are worried about doing damage, but this engine could hit 8000 revs, and you would still have room, trust us on this and give it a try" *Kevin sets off again, letting the engine build revs for a longer period of time before coming back, and as he makes his way back, he notices a Harley heading over to the near by pier. Kevin parks the car, and gets out* "I need you guys to find out just how high I can safely rev her, I have a business meeting to attend" *Kevin gets into his truck and drives over to the pier, arriving at 201, parks, and walks to the end to talk with Michael* "You want drivers, you came to the right person, but I can handle cops without a issue. However, if you can get them to ignore one car in a race, then I will gladly work with you" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its a lot nicer that the little apartment i live in." *happy* "oh OK" *Rosso finishes eating and gets up from the table.* "You done?" *he asks* "yeah im finished" *Rosso grabs Katrina's plates and begins to wash them at the sink. Katrina gets up and yawns* "Good night Rossy" *she says as she pats him on the head and wonders upstairs* *Rosso puts the washed plates away and lays out on the couch. He eventually falls asleep with his phone on in his hand* ---Monday--- *Rosso wakes up to Katrina slapping his forehead. She tells him to get up and that the parts are here. Excited Rosso gets up and goes into the garage where there are 11 or 12 boxes of parts laying there. He walks over and opens one of the smaller boxes and sees one of the black wheels he ordered. Katrina opens a box beside him and pulls out the rear bonnet with the the RWB duck tail on it. Rosso looks over in awe of the part and sees the smile appear on her face. Rosso looks over and opens a longer looking box to find the 3 inch stainless steel performance exhaust he ordered. He then opens one last box, the biggest one, to see the new 6-speed performance transmission, clutch, and fly wheel. "Katrina you know we are going to need a dyno right?" "yeah i know a shop we can go to, don't worry" "Alright cool" *Rosso pulls the box with the exhaust system over to the side of the car and slides under the Porsche to begin removing the stock exhaust. Katrina takes the RWB bonnet and starts to install it and making sure it fits right. After about an hour, the exhaust, bonnet, and tranny are installed and Katrina is putting the wheels on.* "Alright, now we just need to hit the dyno and the paint shop to fix that scratch." "OK, that sound like a plan. Wait let me go change" "what do you mean you look fine lets just go" "No, just give me second it will be quick" "fine, hurry" *Katrina scampers off into the house and comes out in a obviously to big white t-shirt and blue jean short shorts.* "Alrighty then Rossy lets go" *She hops into the passenger seat of the Porsche. Rosso turns to get in and starts the roaring 3.6L flat-6. He backs up out of the driveway onto the road and takes off in the direction he was told.* *They arrive at the shop and Rosso is greeted by an older man who shakes his hand* "Hiya, the name is Mark. what can i do ya for sir?" "Hi my name is Rosso Marrz and i just need to dyno tune this Porsche here and get a new paint job" "alright mate bring her in and we will set you up" *Katrina gets out and goes into the shop as Rosso backs the car onto the dyno. Once on the mechanics strap down the car and set up fans. Mark comes back into the shop with a laptop. Rosso moves over to the passenger seat and Mark sits down in drivers seat and then connects his laptop to the AEM Infinity 6 ECU. Mark runs the first test and the screen prints out a reading of 784hp and 631lb/ft.* "That's great and all but i need to be 600hp or less" *Mark looks at Rosso* "Alrighty" *Mark put the car through 3 or 4 more test and finally gets a reading to Rosso liking. Rosso looks over and sees the reading. 597hp and 488lb/ft.* "Is that good enough for you sir?" *mark asks* "yeah that's spot on, thanks" *Mark gets out and walks to the back of the shop. Rosso gets back into the drivers seat and drives off the dyno. he the is directed by one of the mechanics into the painting booth. Rosso then gets out of the car and walks over to where Katrina is sitting.He watches as they strip the car down. One of the mechanics comes up to him and asks Rosso what color he wanted. Rosso simply says white and the mechanic goes on back to what he was doing. After 3 hours the car is reassembled and fully painted.* *Rosso amazed by the job walks around the car. Katrina is ready to go and gets in the passenger seat. Mark comes back out with the total cost for the visit. Rosso happily pays the $8,500 and takes the keys back. He gets into the car and fires it up. He then gives it a couple of revs making the car turn into a crackling flamethrower in the shop. Happy Rosso slowly exits the shop and takes off down the road. Still skeptical he mans up and takes another sharp turn similar to the infamous corner from before. The car hold flat and keeps grip around the corner and exits in a zippy fashion. Katrina yells in excitement as she realizes what just happened* "I cant believe a little duck tail would have this much of an effect. I mean i knew it would do something and help the handling but i didn't think it would help by this much' *He says with a huge smile* "I'm just glad its done Rossy, now we can chill out." "ha, yeah!"

Posted May 18, 2016 *Michael ignores what Kevin has said and interrupts* "you're late!" He says disappointed "However, I need this done" *He lights up a cheap cigarette and offers one to Kevin* "I got another shipment of AK's coming in on Wednesday. I also got a special shipment coming in with some L85's. I need two drivers, one to take the AK's from my warehouse at the harbour to our brothers at the Bloodhound MC club house and another to bring the L85's to my clubhouse. I don't care how they do it, but one screw up....if my guns don't get to their location....you'll have more than just cops to deal with" *He writes up the address of his warehouse and hands it to Kevin as he finishes his cigarette* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2016 "Like I said, cops I can handle" *Kevin flicks the cigarette into the ocean* "What I am interested in is having the cops ignore one car during the race, but if you can't do that, I understand, just like you must understand that my drivers are very busy people" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 18, 2016 *Kevin writes out two phone numbers and hands them to Michael* "Outside of myself, you wont get better drivers this side of the pacific. One you had a run in with a few days ago, I believe some rifles where pointed at people. If you are concerned about trusting them, you have my word that they will move heaven and hell to make sure that the job is finished. Now if you will excuse me, I have a car to train on" *Kevin starts to walk down the pier back to his truck* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
