Great meet, sorry I had to miss. Had to help out my son.

Brett, we need to talk about that unorthodox scoring method you used, but thanks for the pics.

Critt, glad to see the RE-5 is up and running.

Brett's numbers are fine. Y'all are just used to low numbers cause you can't read your slide rule. Like I tell Ray, If you don't show up you can't complain.

I show up and all the old guys bail out, except Criterous. Hated to miss you gents, but it was good catching up with everyone.

After our chat about dietary changes last night, this popped up onto my news feed today:

5 Easy Ways to Wean Yourself Off Dairy | One Green Planet

There you go. Do the world a favor and ditch dairy.

I totally agree Donnie. I had a wicked bout of diverticulitis last summer.

Ditched the nightly ice cream and cottage cheese, all fixed.

You should get that SA on the road, I'll put the 83 together, we'll set a new standard for 12A's.

And like Tommy says, if we show up, we get to specify the 12A Equivalency Rules.

Looks like a great turnout, I'll have to try a bit harder to make it out there...one day, at least within the next 5 years time span.

I'm not new..... I just only come every other coon's age

And the hot starts are getting better on that FB.... Just took longer to break in the used apex seals.

Ray: I was waiting for you to pull in with the white one 2. Patience is a virtue, but dang!

Now James, all you need to do is tell me you're coming, I'll be there.

On the White One II, you just need a little more patience. Time slows down as you cruise through your 20's, things get done accordingly.

Sexy Pants III will rise again.

First, I need to get the rust free FB shell off my jack stands so I can use them for some serious work on SPIII, in preparation for the TW12A implant.

Then the fun begins.

So if anybody wants one of those rust free Georgia FB unibodies for free, let me know, I'll send pics, first truck gets it.

I think your 5 years time span is up Tim. Hope to see you sometime again soon.

Here's a car for you, Ray. It should hold you over until TW12ASPIIIWFBSIRY is finished.

1993 Mazda RX7



Edit: Just kidding, found a better one:

The silver car must have a lot of rust around the floorboards so they tried to cover it up with that home made sheet metal and a can of Rustoleum Silver Metalic.

The birdbath on the back is kind of nice though.

Can anyone of the old guys with 12A's help this old guy with a gsl se 13B and 79 12a # 1971. I just got the 84 with a 13b over the winter and it's been messed with, of course. The horn does not work, when I replaced the fuse my brake light finally started working but still no horn. I tested the horns with a jumper wire off the battery and they are LOUD, so horns aren't the problem. Next i started looking for the metal cased horn relay by the clutch and its not there. Can anyone please point me in the right direction.

Have you tried jumping the horn button? That would be easy to fix.
