Tim, don't mean to pop your bubbles, but it already is 2011. But we do hope to see you in February for the 2-1-11 meet!

Andre I'll talk over the brap-brap situation in a daily driver with the experts at this evening's OGTA meeting.

It might be too much motor for me but the way Mike S. is talking it might be just right for him.

I ended up going with the girlfriend and her family out to eat for her Dad's birthday. I got potato soup and the bowls were rotor shaped.

He's been helping me install a keyless entry/ remote start unit, and I think we should have it all together by this weekend...

Hope Ray finally made it to a meet.

You guys are a bunch of wusses.

Here's the report:

There were still a few FB's showing up at the end of the meeting, it was hard to count them all. But here's what Kristy and Holly came up with:

5 FB's = 5 12A's (New Guy Alberto, Crit, Dean, Mike, Ray)

3 FC's = 1.5 12A's (Chris, Turbo Pete, PrePro Kristy)

1 FD = 0.33 12A's (Jeremy)

3 FE's = 0.375 12A's (Kevin, Holly, Billy)

3 Boingers = 0 12A's (Gene, The White Miata and the White Former FC)

Total 12A Count = 7.205 12A Equivalents, not bad for the middle of winter!

Sir Timmy (Old but Fast), stop in for a meet if you are ever in the area, Oregon isn't that far away. In the mean time you can use the "Virtual OGTA" option. On the first Tuesday of each month go out and snap some pictures of your RX-7 and any other rotor heads you can round up and post them here on the OGTA thread.

Alex do you guys have any cars to add to the 12A count? If so please amend the list and add pics if you have them.

Also I wasn't "hauling ***" out on I85 on my way to the OGTA meeting. It's just that the rest of the cars were moving really slow.

Ray, you might be on to something here...

How many "Virtual OGTA" members do we have now?

Remember what I said last night about adding this to your resume.

Mike I'll put it down on my resume if you'll get some pictures of you in the grass skirt and coconuts for the 2012 OGTA calendar.

You and Michelle have a great time out there in Hawaii. Say hello to the Obama's for me, would you?

CORRECTIONS in BOLD. Ray, you didn't type it verbatim.

Sorry Holly, my eyes got all twisted up just trying to figure out which FC was Kristy's and which one was Peter's. By that time I'd lost track of the Special Status awarded PrePros.

You know how us OGTAs are. PrePros, Turbos, it all looks the same if it's not FB.

Hey, could you let us in on how you make those "BOLD" letters?

So the mean white Miata guy used to have the pretty white FC? I was looking through those wondering why I've never seen that nice FC before and tried piecing your descriptions together, but failed...

Look, it's another Ray twin: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/2144897304.html

Edit: Guess not, the wheels aren't aligned.

Just put your curser before the text that you wish to type in bold, then click on the Bold "B" in the top of the reply box, and type. Or highlight text and click the Bold "B"

I wish I could of made it. My work schedule is pretty much preventing me from coming. I dont get home till 7ish. That puts me on the road by 8ish. Then at least an hour drive puts me there by 9. Just too late to be worth it.

Thanks for the tip on the Bold stuff Holly, I guess my computer just doesn't have the Bold B option, I can't find it anywhere. Just as well, I suppose, next thing I'd be bolding everything.

Hey, speaking of meetings, did they ever get that DGRR/Mitty time conflict settled?

Nice looking car Brett, but you're right, it doesn't have the OCD option.

That would be great Tim, I think the best way to do it is to post them on photobucket or someplace like that, then use html code to link it here, like this:

[img]http:addressofphoto[/img]

Be nice to have some new OGTA's from Oregon!

Carleton if you can get your lights to stay on and nurse the bebop down to the Feb meeting maybe one of the Weber guru's can twist it's ***** for you.

We got a foot of snow out here in Jefferson last night. Anybody else get any?

Nice facebook video of the Mazda3, Alex.

We didn't get anywhere near a foot here, but 4" or 5" maybe.

You can see the dent in the rear quarter panel that's holding snow...
