We have DJ's grilles and oil change at about 1100. So no twiddling your thumbs required. (You'll have to wear out your thumbs texting, instead.)

If I have that much time I'm sure I can find something to do, is the recycle bin empty ?

I wanna get grills (front & rear) too! We need to do my pulleys - they're making a racket when the car starts up. Oh, the clicking sound is back at full lock. Certainly don't need to do all of that on one day, but if you're game for hookin' me I'm ready.

Sounds much more interesting then sorting boxes, but that is just my opinion

Well, that might be true - but due to the loud clacking sound I thought it prudent to drive my more dependable car to ensure I got back home.....& not by riding in a flat-bed truck.

Bring it in on Saturday some time and I can get to it on Monday. I'm sure somebody can give you a ride back to work.

Tron Chief, I have been to Mini World in Sun Valley. It is great. Lots of used parts. I got my armrest and chrome moldings there to replace the ones dry-rotted along the edges of my Harley. You are right. It would make an excellent roadtrip. It's only 2 hours from Tulare so about 3 hours from Fresno/Clovis area. U have my vote.

Fracky, So where are your pictures of the wing and your increasing list of MODs? Have you experienced any of the Bernoulli's Principle yet while driving?

I was telling Jim that you can totally feel all the extra downforce at 40mph.

Chief, here's the Duell R56 CF wing I was telling you about.

Thats a good price, I called Verizon and asked what it would cost to use my phone while on deployment and with out missing a beat they said $1.99 per min plus any charges the host country might throw on.... Needless to say I will be using a different plan starting in April.
