If you know me, you know I love dogs and I’m the first volunteer to dogsit my friends’ pups every chance I get. Well, a couple weeks ago, I got my first chance to foxsit. My buddy
@the_derek_whitacre asked me to stand in for him, representing his incredibly rare and even more cool foxbody at the
@hotwheelsofficial Legends tour stop in El Segundo. Derek’s car is a mouthful (1982 Mustang Mclaren M81 GT Enduro DSO) but it’s not a handful like most foxbodys. With full
@maximummotorsports suspension, it grips and corners like a modern sports car with power steering and AC to boot. When he first bought the car, I practically begged Derek to let me measure for and spec the wheels for this thing. I think we nailed the period look with
@rotiform LHR in modern sizes (18x10/11) allowing for larger Cobra brakes and grippy rubber (275/305). As sick as it looked in my garage, I was more than happy to assist Derek in shaking the car down that Friday and Saturday as his car is probably more like mine than any other fox- dummy wide wheels, NA 347 vs 351 power and MM underpinnings. The M81 performed flawlessly in my 48 hours of custody and reignited my enthusiasm to get my car refreshed, out of
@mister_zachary shop and ripping around LBC. Speaking of Zac, we managed to fit in a slick video shoot with the M81 in the Port of Long Beach the morning Derek came to pick it up. Go check that out now on Zac’s YT channel. Ya boy even makes a cameo. 😎
