I've had an amazing time and by next year I should hopefully have all these little issues sorted out and actually be able to enjoy the car as opposed to working on her." All the time and effort was worth it to get down there to enjoy the cars, the event and the company....... and Tray grabbing my ass to wake me up in the morning.... that was probably the highlight. I will definately be back next year and actually have some plans for the car over the winter. Nothing drastic, but a few things. A new 6-spd tranny is one thing for the winter.

Gawd... Why is it that all the old folk HAVE to go driving on Sunday? 55 in the fast lane is one thing but when I drive halfway across the country then get stuck behind a twin-turbo going 45 on the best road I've ever driven...
I keed, I keed. Chasing you around was quite a lot of fun actually.
Meant to mail you framed versions of both of these awhile back, the reason I asked for your adress way back, but never got around to it. I've got both of these in their 50billionX50billon pixlel size on a disk if you want 'em.

Yeah, I'm an old bastard. I was actually getting alot of shit about it over the walkies. There was one instance where we were getting off the highway, I was running 3'rd behind the FD who was behind the honduh, the honda made some smart ass comment about being old and slow so I dropped a gear or two, went roaring around the FD on the exit ramp, lite them up through the left hander onto the intersection to get around the honda and into the gas station first..... AJ (Duffman) in his FB bringing up the rear made some comment like, "what a jackass. Look at the old bastard in his midlife crisis mobile." I lol'ed, can't win for losing. |
Getcha a pair of those mazda pillows, lol. Mine came from Ebay.
Ahahaha, I had completely forgotten about that. Good times...

Interestingly enough..... shipping a car and flying to get it vs driving it out there are about the same cost when you add everything up. Hotels were the deal breaker. I'm too old to stay in anything but Marriots, Hiltons etc. so that was ~$400 each way right there less I wanted to hook up with some BAW'lers along the way... which I wouldn't mind at all..... hrm... so with some proper planning driving may actually be cheaper. Shipping was ~$800 each way, gas would be ~$550, plus food, stops, hotels, etc, days off from work have a cost... blah blah blah....
When are you heading east Just ask AJ, as long as you like big dogs, I got beds |
My home is open to you anytime, just say the word.
Your dogs are awesome, they're like big ol' teady bears.

Hard to imagine any of 'em being capable of that, well maybe the husky male, I forget his name but he had that look in his eyes.
