That wouldn't even be the number of years being a "Navy Man."

I got samples of both materials at the shop and the other one does not look like it could survive very long. Neosupreme not so supreme in my opinion.

Hi all, I'm going to post this, already posted it in the ""Tioga Pass/Lee Vining Run:"

I'm going to post this, too late for some but the SoCal MINIManiacs will be up in that area that weekend. The people that wanted to do this run could always go up and come back down with them to Oakhurst. Here is their link:http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ck8gts...zTRDQ jjBDdg=


The Devil's Backbone -- Trans-Sierra Run

It's finally here! Join us for this three-day adventure in the High Sierras, September 10-12. The journey will begin on Hwy 395 for a night in Mammoth Lakes, then over the Tioga Pass, through Yosemite National Park, and spending the second night in Oakhurst.
Check the Club Events Forum for more information.

A Big Thanks to SRTech.

This past Saturday SRTech saved the day once again.

Also thanks to Tron Chief for his help and Jiminni for his moral support.

To anyone who reads this!!!!

Listens to SRTechs advice!

DON"T GO TO QUICK? JIFFY LUBE JOINTS.

DON"T THINK THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN TO YOU

I MESSED UP AND ALMOST BURNED UP MY CAR.

I had a brain fart about a month ago and had my oil changed at the local drive thru. They did not change the gasket for the filter canister.

Guess what! I drove in spewing oil all over the shop floor.

NEVER AGAIN WILL I GO TO JIFFY LUBE..NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER


DON"T DO IT. I DON"T CARE IF IT"S CONVENIENT OR YOU THINK YOU CAN SAVE A FEW BUCKS. JUST DON'T DO IT!


Cheers, Rob

It's a normal "Monday". I got the tracking number for the bushings and they are scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. If you can wait, please let me know.

Petey, not a chance today. Mondays and the first day after a holiday I try not to schedule anything since I get drop-in emergencies and the phone rings all day. If you can schedule a time in advance, I will reserve it for you. Otherwise, it's like last week when I was really busy when you dropped in and couldn't fit you in. Thanks.

Steve

He's even got the lil' tree air freshener hanging from the rear view mirror. It's a good look for him -- keeps him honest.

In other news, how's this for a Union Jack'ified rim!?

I think it would be great to protect your investment, as for the carrier are we in San Diego?
