Casey: I don't think we are canceling unless the heavens open up on us. I just want to put more of an effort into getting more cars out there.

Andy: Great to have you back in action. Nice numbers in the Sig there. Are you gonna hit the strip any time soon to get an ET?

Your car is always broken and you don't even drive it lol. I'll give you the vert. If you put the top down the bicycle will fit in the back just in case it breaks down too lol.

Last time it broke because YOU sold me the wrong parts.

Both of mine run fine. GTUs is leaking oil from the pan though.

I'll know if I can roll the week before. Still trying to sell my Turbo car.

Not really, you can see I bought four of the lower grommets. Somehow last time I got insulators instead of grommets.

Okay Rocky! We need to sit down and decide when we are gonna take this cruise. The people I have coming keep asking me what day we are going. By the poll it looks like more people will be available on April 1st. I just want to try and get a final decision so I can get all of the people I'm bringing together.

Hey Rocky did you decide which route we were going to take this weekend? What time to meet etc? I have a couple of buddies from work that might come out. Bikes and/or 350z. Figured more the merrier.

Well, the weather on Sunday looks iffy so keep your fingers crossed for that. (we'll push back another week only if we absolutely have to and if everyone is still available)

As for your other questions, I figure we decide on the route when everyone shows up. That way everyone gets a say on it. Also, I think a meet time of 8am is reasonable if you want to partake in IHOP. If not, we will likely be departing the parking lot at 9. (Unless that is too early)

The more the merrier always.

Ha! I always wondered who you were and it figures when I actually meet you I didn't even know it lol. I've seen your username pop up on the forum quite a bit over the years. I was the guy at Malloy who gave you the parts you ordered when you came in to pick them up. I have a jack and stands that you can borrow but I am working double shifts all week so won't have a place to install the parts unless you want to wait til saturday afternoon.

Address is: 7495 Iron Bar Ln. Gainesville, VA 20155

Looks like the rain moved up to Saturday. Keep them fingers crossed.

Unren, You can get it done by the cruise, I have full faith. I'd help but I'll be busy all Saturday with Wes helping him in any way I can. He still needs to assemble his engine and get it installed. I doubt we'll be able to get it running by the cruise but we are going to try dammit

If by some miracle it is running normal by Sunday, would I even be able to keep up with you guys while keeping my RPMs under 3K?

The cruise would be perfect for me to rack up some miles for my break in period.
