Ray, we missed you. Since you were not there, the FCs ruled tonight I think there was thought of changing the name of the club. Heck Andy even showed up in pistons - that's a minus 1.5 right there.

The rain did not make it to the Twisted Tavern parking lot, until the last of us were leaving at 9:30PM.

The 12A count was 7.375:
0.75 PreProduction FC - Kristy
0.50 FC - Zach
0.50 FC - Ryan & Alisha
0.50 FC - Colin
0.50 FC - Collin
0.50 White FC - sorry I don't remember your name
0.125 FE - Holly
1.00 FB - Greg the younger
1.00 FB - Geraldo
2.00 RX2 - Jeremy

O points that showed up:
Andy
Crit
I forgot a few others names

We even had a new guy, John, from Suwanee show up in pistons. He is working on his FD and hopes to have it road worthy soon.

Tony - The 3 is looking real good. I am glad you are doing something with it and it is not sitting outside somewhere collecting more rust. The wife bought me something - I will post a pic when I get back into town after I pick it up. Lets just say its Rotary powered!
I am still on my honeymoon and we are having a blast in Cancun! I had no idea Mexico had a Mazda dealership here!

Thanks for the Report Holly and for the excellent pics Kristy! Nice looking cars, looks like a great meet:



Is that Kevin's Dirty Red, the one with the black wheels?

And that looks like Greg the Elder's brown FB (not Greg the Younger's silver FB), right? Greg if you still need that refrigerant let me know, I'll drop it off.

You YGTB's need to go back to school. But in the mean time here's a little math lesson for you:

FC's = 0.75 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 3.25

FB's and 2's = 1.0 + 1.0 + 2.0 = 4.0

4.0 > 3.25

And of course, 12A's rule, as always.

Correct - that is Kevin's dirty red. Geraldo borrowed it from the chick that owns it now.

Correct - that is Greg the elder

Incorrect - You trying to give math lessons. You forgot the RX-8.

It pains me to say this, but I think Ray is correct.

3.25
+0.125
_________
3.375

3.375 < 4.0

I wouldn't get too set on that. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.

Colin, I agree, 1 rotorhead > 1 FB > 1 FC, for sure.

Greg, I have the two cans in my office at work, want to do lunch sometime next week (Chinese)?

Crit, I agree, last night was a random event. Not likely to happen again.

Mike, you know what they say, I'm always right but nobody ever listens to me.

And Kristy, yeah, those do look like some nice FC's. Wish I'd been there hope they show up in July (esp. that black one with the fishnet wheels)

You were right on your greater than and less than. My point was you missed the RX-8 so your final count was incorrect. <<<err nevermind I get it. I see cars you see engines... >>>

The black FC is Colin's. He should be around more this summer.

1 FE ≠ 1 FC, no how, no way. Just like 1 FC ≠ 1 FB (or SA, 2, 3 or REPU).

But a twenty year old FC has nothing to apologize for. The RX-8's still need to prove themselves worthy over the coming decades.

It is most likely all the YOUNG Guys/Gals with 12As or 13Bs.

Man I wanted to stay longer this time, but couldn't manage it. ******' pain is absolutely killing me...


Update time...

I have what is basically an open wound in my stomach - no, not an ulcer - and am on PPI's

I got word today based on the results of the ultrasound performed on me yesterday morning, and I was told - and I quote - "You have a dysfunctional gallbladder."

So, the next step is my surgical consult on Tuesday.. I'm hoping for swift action to have the ****** taken out. You guys have absolutely no idea how completely exhausted I am from all of this pain.. I am hardly sleeping, etc... It's bad.
