Default I went to a Summit Racing shop yesterday arvo (not dialup friendly)

As I got away from work early yesterday afternoon I went for a drive across Atlanta to the Summit Race parts shop. Talk about impressed. The best way to describe it is a Kmart /Bunnings store full of go fast bits. Not a lot on display for poor old clevos but it's all orderable. Some pictures below.


The outside of the store, thats my lovely Taurus in the foreground (no front plates in Georgia)




A couple of shots of the inside of the store

And for those of you who complain about four wheel drives on our roads, this thing was doing 120 Km/h on the freeway.



Regards,
Tote

Not recently, jegs charge me $128 US and summit said $145 US for the same stuff. Also for some stupid reason summit charge $24 US handling for overseas orders while jegs charge all orders $11 US, work that out!
