    Default New piper honda!!!!

    I took delivery of my brand new Piper/Honda DF5 today! It is absolutely beautiful!
    Doug and Doug Jr. did an amazing job! The machinework is the best I have ever seen! And I'm a machinist! The attention to detail is simply amazing!! The engine is sooo smooth! If this car drives half as good as it looks, it should be a rocket ship! Doug has taken Don's design and made a work of art! Anybody considering a new car has to talk with Fast Forward!!!
    The pictures speak for themselves.
    Enjoy Wes Allen

    Hi all, thanks for the kind words. Yes the wheel picture is upside down. I wanted to show the new forged aluminum one piece wheels Piper has now. Off to the garage to get started on the bead seat.

    Default Saw this Car .................

    ............. w/ Jason when at Monterey for the Historics -It was on the scales and being fully aligned before delivery that day == NO dis-respect to Wes - BUT the pics just DO NOT do it justice -- and I also saw JR Robinson's car when raced for the first time at PBIR -- every car when it leaves Doug/Doug Jr.'s is just perfect -- They are now working their magic on ***** *******'s car - Saw the car, parts and discussed plans for that car as well !!!.

    Default Piper/Honda

    Wes,

    She's a beaut!

    Just a hint. Piper/Hondas do really well at Laguna Seca.... Just ask Dave Zurlinden. You could bring yours out here and vacation on the Left Coast, run Laguna, Sears Point, and Thunderhill. Give a certain DB6 driver a hard time about his Garage Mahal in Santa Cruz.

    Regards,
    Dan Wise

    Welcome to the Piper Honda club. Doug and Doug Jr. build an immaculate car. They are a pleasure to work with as everyone who has one of their cars knows.

    The first time you get it dirty will be painful. But probably a lot of fun.

    Default she's missing something

    Wes,
    She needs a little chrome. Bring her up to the Blackhawk Midwest Council event (Oct. 20) to test/tune her in and get some data. You can help us PARTY with Gibson.

    Bring your own lamp shade and hot pants.

    Congrats
