You guys have dyslexia, I said I would have some hand rolled cigars. Robert knows
what I'm talkin' about.

I may have some left for the mitty as well. Hope to see everyone at one or both
events this year.

Yeah, that's some heafty meat on those wheels. That must have a mean 1.1 L under the hood... Nice looking project.

Tim, Tim, Tim, you are sounding awful defensive. I think he is talking about sleeping bags, Ray.

Tim, are those hand rolled "cigars" the kind with tobacco in them or are they that other kind? Store bought or home brew?

I agree, this is a project I could get interested in. That thing would be great at Crit and Deena's Lake House Event, we could take it out on the lake with those big back tires.

Tim, this got my attention.
Please tell about those hand rolled cigars.


I would not have believed it, but I found cheap Cubans here and they are barely worth their price.

That got Ray's attention. Simmer down Ray, I don't think he meant drink beer with the hamsters.

April OGTA comming up in 2 weeks. I see lots of people saying they are going to make it out. Could be a 12A count record.

Oh BTW, I have been enjoying the Dual Webers a little too much lately. This last tank of gas did not do so well on the MPG. But it was fast 250ish miles.

Mike, 250/15 = 16.7 mpg, in case you didn't want to know.

I think you're right, April should be a pretty good meeting, the first one where we will have a decent bit of daylight. I'll bring the camera.

I hope Greg the Younger makes it, we can find out what those guys have been rolling up.

CRogers, good to hear you got that buggy running! First name is Chris, as I recall? Be good to see you and the new car.

Yeah, I am not actually not on "E" yet, but I expect to only get around 17 mpg for this tank. In case anyone is wondering, seeing how fast you can get to the shift buzzer in the first 3 gears doesn't seem to help the mpgs.

I do believe that's an over rev warning for the engine Mike, not a shift buzzer. I'll check the manual.

If it's a Nikki, I'll do it. If it's another kind, Mike will do it.

Mike, don't listen to Michael. If that buzzer goes off too much your engine will explode.

Happy Spring Dudes!

Chris, were you the dude that needed the head liner? I've got one real nice brown one left, too expensive to ship but I can bring to OGTA.

I plan to make it, but I'm given nuthin away Ray.


Speaking of the OGTA meeting, the Tilted Kilt at Old Peachtree and Satelite is open.
FYI, the one on the far right used to be the daycare giver to our neighbors kids.
