True. I have the same compensation package as Steve Jobs at Apple Computer. I officially make $1 a year, but the Board of Directors granted me a $50 million private jet this year as a bonus. I use it to make maps.

Does this mean you can get us aviation fuel at a good price Blake? Congrats on the jet too.

Also, thanks for holding the swap meet, I don't know what I would have done with my money if I didn't go!

Thanks, everyone, for coming out. We had far more sellers than buyers, with perhaps enough parts to build a couple FDs, but smoking deals were made and the lazy guys who didn't come out missed a great opportunity. We didn't get out of here until about 7pm.

Can't blame me I came AND I was a good buyer! I deserve a gold star or something of equal demeaning value for my achievements. Maybe some wiring for an EGT gage? I'll call you guys thursday to and pick them up in the afternoon!

thanks again for hosting.

Glad you made it. Rob thinks the probes will be here on Tuesday, but it's still a good idea to call first and make sure they actually showed up before making the trip down.

BTW, there was someone at the swap meet I was talking to that was looking for an FD to buy. Sorry, I forget who. Anyway, later in the day someone called me and mentioned they were selling their FD and looking to get 18K or so for it. It was vandalized but is currently in the body shop being repaired. From what I remember, it was pretty nicely set up. PowerFC, 1300cc secondary injectors, Effini turbos (IIRC), Racing Beat exhaust, front mount IC, yadda, yadda. Hopefully I remembered that correctly. If you are interested, contact the owner Wes at (503) 484-8258.

A lot of people Puss'd out because of the uncertain weather. I would say about 20 people showed up. Perfect day weatherwise thought. I found some stuff I needed for my car and sold some stuff too, but I was hoping to get ride of more. If Rob hadn't of bought a lot of stuff from me that would have totally sucks for me.
