Anyone on this board live in or around those two campuses? I've seen alot of 7's and 8's on the road today including 4 FE's and 2 FC. Just wondering...

Ment SE... Sorry. I was just saying there's tons of 8's around these places. I only saw one FC (coulda been an FB... but I only got a good look at the back side) that saw me and his mouth dropped. I'm guessing cause 7's aren't as common around here as others cause my car isn't at all worth a mouth drop.

I've seen him driving around! That car is Epic! What's even better is I'm no joke 5 minutes away (walking) from a lube time. It's the one up on North Main St, is that one his? I'll deffinatly stop by his place and give him the message.

It's your choice. I'm probably going to park my seven during the winter months and just run upgrades and repairs on it--except for when I can peace out of here to get back up to NOVA. But I like having my seven here (never mind I bought it here) and there's tons of rotories (mostly 8's from what i've seen).... I forgot where I was going with this...

So I just talked to Jacob. He's totally cool. Said he swapped in a bored out small block (I think) for the rotory because he got tired of fixing them. Really cool though. He also laughed when he heard your delima with your turbo; said that was one of the reasons he swapped out the rotory. Total engine count: 4 rotory's 2 V-8

I went to radford for the last 4 years but graduated in May.

There is a guy who doesnt frequent the fourm much who has a red 3rd gen and my old 85 GSL-SE running parts car.

Winters are hit or miss, some years it snowed alot, some years hardly at all. But it was a cold dry winter last year lots of wind but not much snow. Oddly enough there were 60 degree days sprinkled in then snow flurries in April.... weird.

My 84 GSL-SE was a blast in the snow with some cheap Pep Boy all seasons.
