Good stuff, I think Monica deserves best supporting Oscar for her role! Good luck to you Randy!

Haha. Terry, we did two takes. She really beat me up in the first one. As a lawyer, I think she enjoyed her new found Judicial powers a little too much. I mentioned that it was okay if she was neutral or slightly an advocate to the family cause.

Good luck Randy!! Well done

Thank you! Looking forward to see what NFGT artifacts you will craft!

Great video! Very original and genuine. I give it [emoji1303] [emoji1303]

Appreciate the positive feedback Special K! I was a little hesitant to post it. The professional videos are so well put together. Also wasn't sure if the adoption idea was too hokey. But it was what spoke to me, so I decided to go for it.

Ha! At my first Rally in Newport Beach I met DBK, AwsumGT, Syco GT, BlackIce, etc. All cool names. Everyone asked me what my real name was. I said Ed Sims & they said "LOL! You used your real name?" I wanted to change it but DBK said everyone knew me so to keep it. They all said Ed Sims sounds like some old fat guy!

Ed

“EdSims” Is much better than 07XL0027. DBK confirmed for me at Petit Le Mans Road Atlanta that I officially have the worst screen name on the Forum.

Great Video Randy and best of luck to you.

Haha. In all seriousness, what does 07XL0027 come from? Is it a partial VIN?

Before I met Ed, he sent me a bunch of "Ferrari Slayer" FGT decals (over 10 years ago). I had this vision of a short white dude who was a dentist. Turns out he's this natty dressing, martini swigging, trendy fashionista who races motos on the side.

Before I met 07XL0027, I thought Chris was some sort of cyborg with a serial port in the back of his head:lol

Equally as fun as seeing all the different builds that people are coming up with! Thanks BtwoG!

Best of luck Randy!

I’m rooting for you!

Thank you Ron! Thanks for hijacking a cart and hauling us around at Circuit of the Americas during Rally 11. Good times!

You guys are killing me with the "Ed Sims" stories!!! A crack up. Since I met Ed at my very first Rally, Rally II, I've always just known him as who he is. Super chill dude with beach volleyball slaying awesome wife Heidi.

Ding ding ding Randy. If this were a contest you would win. It was the number on the dash plaque of my 2007 Shelby GT500. I sent it to Shelby in Vegas to do a 40th Anniversary conversion package on my car and they added "their" serial number to the vehicle. 07 = 2007
XL = Roman numeral 40 for 40th anniversary and 0027 is the 27th car built in the series. When I joined the forum in 2012 I just picked a login name I knew no one would have. I didn't realize how important it was to have a good screen name.

Man, I always thought it had to do with you being a secret agent...:secret: or a cyborg.
