I thinking my favorite feature will be the 13,500 BTU A/C
It could be this...

It's as much Jonathan's trailer as it is mine. The whole team is paying on the bank note.
The graphics aren't going to be anything fancy. Kinda "understated" really. Except that it will all be in engineer grade reflective material (same as cop cars, etc.). Probably something like this...

Bart... MANAGEMENT ALWAYS LOOKS GOOD AT THE TRACK (because we never have to actually get on it).
As for the team's actual riders... with less than four races under their spine protectors, Jonathan is turning lap times (when he's not healing up) equal to to all but the top one or two in the expert class. The others are well into the top 10 of their respective classes. In the world of the ultra competitive 600 Superstock classes, that's saying something. Especially when there is over 50 riders (sometimes more than 60) in some of the classes they run in.
Obviously, it is due to the excellent supervision and coaching from the manager, as well as the outstanding technical work done by the team's chief mechanic. What else can I say but the simple fact... I'm that good, baby!

Damn - were you putting that shit up on the board instead of working?
Silly bastage. Get off this thing and get to work!

Well, now, let's not get carried away here. We aren't that fast - I think my friend might have engaged in a bit of puffery....and not peter-puffin you faigs.

Cut and paste, baby. Cut and paste.
Notice I said lap times. Not the same as finishing place at the end of the race.
