If a 5 year old can do it, I'm pretty sure Ray will be able to get his put together.

For those going to B3R this year. I posted an Atlanta Caravan thread in the Blue Ridge Rotary Run thread in the upcoming events section.

Yea, but a rwd, manual, 13b powered maxipad. I'm sure you could fit a 12a in there.

Pretty much an RX-8 right? I've always liked Maxipads. A RWD rotary one would be a perfect DD... Idk about that period red plush interior though...

Here's a nice set of wheels for one of you 4x110 guys!

Yep I'd have snatched those up myself if I wasn't already totally invested in LE wheels.

The Rotary Gods work in strange ways.

You could get these and have 2 different sets to swap around. You know, depending on the season

Hi, I'm a newbie to this group and wanted to know if there is a meeting this Tuesday (10/7/2014)? If so is there a time and place? Even though I have a 13B (85 SE) I'm certainly an old guy.

Welcome Steve! We are meeting this Tuesday. Most people start showing up around 7PM. We meet in the parking lot of the Tilted Kilt in Buford near the Mall of Georgia. We have old guys, young guys, women, 12A's, 13B's, boingers, etc. The only requirement is that you love rotarys. Look forward to meeting you!

- Tommy

Thanks Tommy and Michael. Since I'm on the wrong side of Atlanta (NW), I'll leave after lunch on Tuesday. That should give me enough time.

I'll still contemplating whether I'll show up tonight or not, I haven't felt the best yesterday and today. I do want to see Triangle Power's car, though... I shall see.
