The first MM change was delayed because someone, who shall remain nameless, left the nuts at the Tyson compound in his company's parts bin. But the second MM change (after the crew was warmed up and lots of liquid refreshments did the job in 1:56:00, that's one hour, 56 minutes and zero seconds by the official timekeeper.

It's amazing how fast you can get stuff done when a dozen people know what they are doing. I'm still amazed at how much we got done on 4 cars, with one lift, one car at a time.

There's lots of love here Doc. It was a great GTG and we have potentially brought someone over from the darkside.

Jim, it appeared to me that half the nuts were inside Brad's shop working on cars and the other half were outside talking about 928s.

Sean posted his amazement at what can be accomplished when a dozen people know what they're doing. I'm amazed that he thinks there was a dozen people that knew what they were doing. LOL

Andy,
You should look at Doc's 86.5.

I was referring to Andy's looking for a 83 at $5k, when my car is for sale for about the same price. No worries about the GTG, that was a great time. I'm still digesting Iowa beef.

Hey! We all knew what we were doing. It just might be that what we were doing wasn't the thing we knew about at the time. Say that ten times fast.

Erik,
I did it from Riodoso, NM to Dallas via HWY 380 through Snyder, TX in about 7 hours. On 380 I was being passed by Billy Bobs in trucks at 110. Not a cop in sight. Once you hit 20 it's a different story.

Have fun and hope we see you next month.

Doc,
I didn't know you had a shark for sale? I would like to learn more. I thought John said he wanted $12k for the Cobalt Blue. That's too much for my budget right now. On Friday, I spent $4500 for a transmission on my DD.
