Lost Rhino was started by the same guys that founded Old Dominion before it was bought out by Anheuser-Busch and moved production to Delaware. Like the original OD it has decent seating space but fills up fast on weekends, some food, and a changing lineup of craft beers including a new bourbon barrel aged stout ^_^

I've been there a couple times and Lost Rhino is very good. My brother-in-law keeps his home tap stocked with it consistently and I've been with him to go pick up kegs. Last time I was there they were still renovating, but it looked like it was going to be pretty sweet when they were done (sounds like Matt has been there since it has been completed).

It would be a great ending spot for the cruise, but is a little out of the way from 66. Are there any better spots closer to the route? If not, I wouldn't mind ending up there.

I don't mind ending a cruise there....it's pretty nice to shoot up 15 to Frederick.

Those fenders look huge, how much are they going to add?

Rocky just let me know what weekend your planning for this. I will bring the camera to get some action shots again.

Plus I will be headed to DGRR, home for me. Likely headed down Tuesday night to spend time with mom and family.

I will try and have a voting thread up sometime today or tomorrow. Pretty busy right now so I don't know when it will happen. I'd like to go before the end of the month or very early in the next, but we'll see what everyone says.

Hey, it's not the size that matters... It's... Oh who am I kidding ;P

Got a box ol' box of bushings last night (already pressed out the old ones in half of the parts), so that's coming along. Just got a call today that my wheels have been media blasted ($15/ea, beats sanding them by hand again) so I can paint soon. Many other projects in motion, but I'll be ready for May one way or another.

Just replaced my front brake rotors, bearings, studs, and pads last night on the FB. I've sourced a rear end to replace mine in Philly, just need the time to go get it.

The plan is to go with a square 315 width setup. I might downgrade to a 285/315 stagger for autocross I'm testing out both.

Nice, what did you get Wes? Pics? I've been considering moving up as well, those BFG Rivals in 225/45R15 are calling my name.

I picked up a used set of Enkei 92s from a user on here. They are in the mail now, so attached is a pic from the seller.


Everyone is hyping up the BFG rivals so I'll get them in 205/50R15. Unless getting the 225/45 is worth $14/tire.

normall I'd say go with the 225, but I think with an FB you'd have trouble fitting the 225/45/15 up front. David lane who runs SSM at FedEx with a turbo FB runs 225/45/15 hoosier A6s on like 6.5"s had had to modify his inner fenders some to get them to fit while turning.

And yes, tirerack is the only place, they have some deal with BFG I think. I was talking to the guy who owns treadzone.com (in PA) and he can't get any rivals yet, and they won't even tell him when he can.

that being said... the ZII is probably going to be better in the rain.

It won't see too much rain. Can you get the ZII's locally?

radial tire will definitly have them:
Tire Repair, Tire Rotation, Tire Shaving, Wheel Balance RADIAL TIRE COMPANY Silver Spring, MD (301) 585-2740

that's probably your cheapest bet.
