Jason, I am sorry. It was like 2 in the morning and I was cross eyed. Another reason I signed off, I would have made a big fool of myself telling the wrong guys off and not making any sense whatsoever! LOL!

Really, what is wrong with this thread? If we start another thread it'll end up just like this one. Let sleeping dogs lie, or something like that.

You don't need to put that much work into it. If you don't pass the first day, they'll just send you on your way and you'll have to try again either somewhere else, or the next day. But yeah... most people aren't even going to look. Especially that crappy but popular oil-changing chain.......

Unless we see a miracle tomorrow he isn't going to be in any shape for a drive.

Not to mention none of you need to get infected!

I posted on our forum but in case nobody sees it,

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year!
You guys will be missed. As well as added to the milk carton.

I hope he feels better!!

I agree. I think the thread is fine... but if we have and problems with each other, we need to keep it in PM form. Prevents any future embarrassment.

I like puppies!

Beth
Jon (20B3rdGen) and I are stepping up to the plate to attempt to fill Phil's shoes, but I don't think it's going to be as easy as it looks. There's ALOT that needs to be done. And yes, lots of schmoozing is needed to get some things together for the event. Phil is still considered "Senior Advisor" for the event, but he has alot on his plate, as well. We definitely need a couple more people who are willing to truly dedicate some personal time towards the event. Please contact one of us to help out.

RRDI NC Cruise...

Hey all, I just wanted to throw this out there. But is anyone up for a morning drive next Saturday or Sunday? It is supposed to be nice next weekend and it would be good to see everyone after the holidays. Plus, it's New Years! Maybe Bert or Gary have a secret route we haven't been on yet! Anyways, just post up if it sounds cool.

We have quite a public route now. The signs are actually spray painted on the road. Go Bert!

Hey man, I live right around the corner from you on Nelson Ct. I have the TiGray 8 w/ gunmetal wheels. I've been meaning to drop by an RRDI card to you for a while now. Stop by some time.
-Nic

By the way, I make sure to drive down your street almost everyday to drool over the TII. Very nice!!!

A Big Shout Out of Thanks toTurbo II...

I want to give a Big Shout Out of Thanks toTurbo II...

...for transporting my tires to and from the recent Chin Motorsports HPDE at VIR... not to mention all the help with getting the old Kumhos mounted on the car, keeping the car ready... and generally helping keep me straightened out... ;)

It allowed me to find out for sure what I wanted to know about the Kumho MXs I've been testing out... since the amount of track time I'd gotten on them the previous weekend hadn't managed to do it, without having a chance to run them this event, I wouldn't have gotten the final results until next year (if at all), and would've had considerable extra effort and hassle...

As it turned out, the final results became apparent pretty quick and enough track time to ensure there wasn't anything left...

Old MXs never die... they just fade away... and will wear ones **** out while they do... ;)

Thanks Amigo...

Speaking of classics pics, a few of us watched Gone in 60 Seconds (1974 Version) and there was a Mazda Dealership scene fly by in it. Here's a few Screen Caps:
Rotar Sales prop:


I beleive an RX-2 on the sales floor (at least Tail lights and body styles match some google images I researched)

I beleive an RX-3s on the sales lot (at least body styles match some google images I researched) They had a closer shot of the RX-3 on the sales floor but too many people standing in front of it to get a goood screen cap.
