I'm in if you're stopping for yourself. Saves me a trip out in the morning.

The eagle has landed! Izzz pretty cool I guess. It's not my beloved Frackmobile, but it's a good starting point.

It was great seeing everyone at the shop today! We're definitely going to have to make CMS-Saturday a regular monthly Saturday-morning event.

I'd mentioned the cabrio with the GP side skirts & CF quarter-panels. Here it is:

Welcome home to the new Fracky

What, still no pictures of the new Frackmobile? Sounds like a great deal of male bonding went on today, ha ha.

I think I saw TronChief heading east on Ashlan today. If it was, sorry for holding you up. I was the one towing HERR B the love bug. He is a bit under the weather and was being taken to his doctor, Dr. Lloyd, healer of Bugs. I think it is a rod, ouch! There are noices coming from the engine that sound like lots of bucks.

The good doctor will give him the once over and make the diagnosis. No matter what, he will ride again. His fans demand his return.

Glad the new wheels arrived safe and sound. I like the color, but don't let the fact that all of my cars have been white give you the impression that I am biased. White goes with everything you know.

Joe, the mini is way cool. It looks like it has a ton of mods already. I don't think you have an inch of ground clearance. I didn't know you were getting a convertible, but it should be a lot easier putting in a roll bar and you definitely need the roll bar before Dr. Steve lets you drive it. Ken

Joe, congrats on the new arrival. Its not the Frakmobile, but its a great looking car. It was great to see you as well. I will bring the doughnuts on the regular monthy saturday meetings, and we will have to make sure Michael gets fed on friday night.

I do come to the big city every once in a while ok probably more then I should but when your driving a Mini it makes driving fun. Besides I had to drive down old Friant. Our daughter in Coast Guard Boot camp said she cried when she read about the Frackmobile and was very happy that no one was hurt any worst then they were. She is lookin forward to being done and getting back behind the wheel. As long as she does not break anymore seat backs I will be happy..

Yep, we've gotta run down to Visalia here in a few for my sister-in-law's birthday lunch. I still need to wash off Fracky2, so I'll be giving you a buzz later so we can shoot some pictures.

Awesome!!! Me next, me next!!! Cookie's greenlighted me for the exhaust replacement (header back), so let's all pow-wow soon on the "Frackmobile part deux" design session. I don't want the discussion to be part of a meeting, but it'd be cool to get together for pizza & beer and plot the rapid development of the next MidCal car.
