Why don't you worry about your own nuts bro?

1) Kevin/GG/owner of spare FD parts
2) Mark/RM/CF monster
3) Eddie/evot23/Keeper of the Tom/Trike Killa
4) Tom/pretty boy MB
5) gustaml

In all honesty, I think I have a 12 spline key out at the parts car from some cheap knock off nuts. If not, Gunnar says he has one. Speaking of...crap forgot to ask him about your car. Will try and call him again tonight.

Eddie...serious question. Do you have the time/inclination to try out those Bose door speaker brackets I left at your house and to also measure the depth between them and the glass when lowered?

Since I got the base, I haven't finished testing the final project and really need to do so as a ton of guys are waiting on them!

Eddie...I know you, Tom, and myself can meet up and go. I'm not certain what everyone else wants to do.

Hey gang, I've been up and running for about a month now. So I'll try and show up next time you guys meet up. My TII's still being fussy, but I'm trying to work out the kinks. It would be great to sit around and discuss some of these issues with people that actually know the cars

So lets get together...even if you guys aren't going to Import Face Off on Sunday, maybe we can plan something the following week.

What was the final on a meeting time/ place? I don't think I'll have mine up, by then, but going is a great idea.

I'm free after 6:30pm from work Tuesday and Wednesdays are my days off. Any interest in making an appearance at Thursday night Archer meet?

I'd like to have the vert finished, sometime, before making that an undertaking, but other than that, No problems, here.

Elena works the pub every Wednesday, so if nothing else we could start meeting, there. Enough parking, I'm sure. I'd have to find out from one of the downtown badges we know, about using the city lot (normally it's Valet, only) on Wednesday.

Thursday at Archer is tough for me cause I'm at work by 5am. Early Thurs or any other night for that matter is good.

So Wednesday(s) at Brophy's Irish Pub? Here's their site (one of the ones I'm working on).

Since my fiance works there, I think that'd be a good meeting spot. Like I said to Ari, I can talk to one of the downtown badges and see if the city lot (the one across from Market Street) is available.

Off topic, but why did no one inform me that Brian lives in Manhattan?
BTW, Sam and I are official Manhattan residents as well.

Have fun at your next meet. Miss you guys and my 7!

Hey Melissa!

Bryan moved up there about a month ago. I'm usually in NYC on business once or twice a year as one of my larger clients is up there as well. Perhaps we can all get together on one of my trips.

Yes, yes. I know. I missed it.

We ended up going out to some little hinky bar in Alachua, just past 75, on the left, got nicely intoximacated and then...

Overslept. By the time I got up, had coffee, had a cigarette, and came out of my zombie-cocoon...

It was WAY to freakin' late to head into town and catch the rectum of the event.

FACK!

All right! Who's makin' good with the pics?!

As well, who's down for Wednesday at the pub (since it's a general consensus that Thursday is mostly a pack of mouth-breathers)?
