Anyone else have tomorrow off?
I'm dying to put some miles on the 928, and would love some company. The wife is taking the kids to a friend's house, so it's play-time! If Mark (SHARKS) is around, it might be fun to take a trip over to his palacial estate to check out the new ride! Or we can go over to see BigDave's engine progess. What do you say? Any takers? email me or call me on 734-837-7908. Or post here today.

Either no one has the day off tomorrow , or they don't want to be seen with me... I wonder which one?
Plan B for me is to go and get the alingment done.
Plan C, is to polish the car.
Plan D is to realize my worst fear... being loncked in a dark room alone with a big screen TV and 4 hours worth of p0rn!

Sorry, I don't have the day off but I'd join you if I did. Actually if my shark was on the road, I'd take the day off.
It'll be another month or so before the new engine is in and all the WYAI is done.

I'll be off at noon tomorrow, but I'm obviously no where near ready to drive. I am, at least, in the re-assembly stage. All cleaning is done aside from the engine bay. I plan on pushing the car out of the garage and powerwashing the bay if it's warm on Saturday. Then I do the motor mounts and start putting things back in.

Give me a call if you'll be in the neighborhood.

Well... I just happen to be in Detroit this week in the 78. Sure glad I had snow tires on yesterday. I've got the tail end of an upgrade to babysit, then I'm on the road at noonish maybe. Wanna see how fast we can get to Virginia? lol It's 550 miles one way, best time so far is 7hrs. If they'd lift the speed limits I'm pretty sure we could get in done in half that time. Having a party sat nite... cocktails, 9 ball, home cooked spaghetti and meatballs. You could romp home on Sunday. Com'n Andy... put some real miles on your beast.

Andrew, tomorrow morning I am taking all three boys out to the glider field, and on the way back stop at the cottage that we are thinking about buying (wife is working nights this week so she can sleep until noon). I have to be back here by 12:30 as the real estate guy is coming over at 1pm for us to sign the purchase agreement. Not sure how long the real estate guy will be her but you can call my cell and maybe we can meet you in Hell (Michigan that is) around 11am. You won't want to come over to the house until the mud (not dirt) roads dry out a bit. You will spend hours cleaning those shiny white wheel wells after driving 2 miles on them from the paved roads.

Andrew,

I too, am working tomorrow... all day, in fact, so I can't make it. I have brought the car out for the season already though, and she's running well.

Anybody up for a Saturday morning road attack?

Damn you guys are killing me...

In Order:
Rob- Hope it's worththe wait. Can't wait to see/hear/feel your beast.
Dave- I'd love to call you, but I don't have your cell anymore. Last time I tried it it said it was no longer in service - maybe it changed when you left Clark Hill? Call me on my cell sometime and leave me a VM or PM me here with it. In fact I'll pM you after this message.
Mike - My wife might have something to say about it. Sounds fun though. Perhaps in May, wife and kids will be in Japan. I'll be a bachelor again!
Mark - Have fun with the family. Maybe I'll catch you another day.
Chaadster - Dude! You work too damn much! Hope the tips are worth it. Gald to hear you got it out for the winter.

So Dave, That leaves you. If you're around tomorrow and I have your number, maybe I'll come up and visit, but it won't be as much fun as if I could drive around with another shark. Oh well. My plans B,C, and D are looking better and better. Especially D! LOL! G'night folks!
-Andrew
