So who appreciated the rain we got this weekend? Poor Lanier...
or a toyota oil drain plug threads in just fine. just find an o-ring to fit the plug...cost me nothing since i work for Lexus, but would of cost you a few dollars.

What happened to the red FD? Did you get t-boned, or sideways?

That's it Ray. If I can get my schedule under control, I hope to make it out to an autox this year.

Thought so. It's from Kentetsu's post:

He has all kinds of suspension mods to make you jealous.

Oh Yeah!! What color! What beauty! What grace! I even like the after market wheels and body parts! Looks like red leather interior too, doesn't get much better than that.

Come on down and bring your 7!

I'm a big fan of the stock "+"wheels, I have about 20 of them, but those do look good, looks like they are 15"? They would look nice on my silver GSL... How much?

Tell me it ain't so, Ray. :^(

Now me, on the other hand, I am tempted to start negotiating. But, I am trying to save up my "honey do" points to get the OK to start autox'ing.

Mike I just noticed I think he is talking about selling the black wheels, not the chrome ones, which were the ones I wanted. So you are right, it ain't so.

Oldrotaryman, we never know how many folks will show up, but usually 6-12 cars and about that many rotor heads. Strangely, some rotorheads, like Holly, don't currently drive rotories, although Donny and Crit both made recent appearances in their "new" FBs. We are still waiting for our first true "old school" rotary - they count as 1.5 12A equivalents.

Each meeting usually brings some new people and cars and the overall numbers are increasing - the April 1 meeting had 10.15 12A equivalents, only 0.35 short of the record 10.5 12As set Dec. 8, 2007.

So bring the wheels, if they are the 14" that fit the 12A bolt pattern there is always someone looking for a set.

Here's the rotor heads at the last meeting (minus FD Mike, who as usual was fashionably late):

Oldrotorayman, bring your friend and his car. It would be a milestone event in the history of the OGTA club if we got kicked out of the parking lot.

Oh yeah!

Michael, an old school 13B in an FB is still pretty cool. What do you think guys, should we count it as 1.5 12As if he can get it down to Suwanee?

Mike, remember that time they came out to the parking lot to be sure I was coming back in to pay the bill?
