Ah, I'll leave her home then. She'll want to just run around and jump all over everyone anyway. That's great for a park setting, but not so much in a business parking lot :lol:

Any examples of your manifold-in-progress you could bring along? I'd love to see how that's progressing...

Torn between paintball and driving to ithica now. :lol: I really haven't made much progress on it. I have the flange that mates up to the head done for Ben's. Unbelievable how much machining time it took on an ooooold series 1 Bridgeport mill <_<

I have an MBC but it's at the garage 5 miles away and I'm tired...maybe.. I can get it in the morning.

I am bringing some parts, mostly newer stuff for the peeps who don't know me but is there something specific you'd like to "look" at? I can throw whatever you want in the car.

I spent the whole time cleaning connectors in my car, Hussein pointed out that they were all covered with crap so we had to correct that. Once we got some food into our belly's I realized that it was late in the day and that I hadn't taken any pictures. So although I had the intention to take a ton of photos that didn't really work out. Pretty much all of my pics were taken within the same half hour.

At least it didn't downpour until the end of our spirited drive....which consisted of me spinning my tires out of corners trying to get away from Hussein and Mike...which I didn't have an ice cubes chance in hell of doing :lol: :lol: I had to try but discovered I'm probably going to want a quaiffe in the future. (boost is still set at 11.5 psi) Hussein's car can (obviously) easily overtake mine, made for a little fun on curvy hilly route 327.

The meet was cool, saw some new faces. Those two girls cleaned house! Keep an eye on ebay for that Boston G2 that Hi way gave away!

Many thanks to Chase from Hi way for providing the spot and raffling off the G2 sub and the keyless entry!! , Matt for helping to organize and everyone who made the trek to rainy Ithaca. (second rainiest place next to Seattle I hear).

Had a great time - shame about the rain at the end - it would have been nice to say goodbye to everyone.

Kristian - your car smelled like antifreeze when I was directly behind you - at first I thought it was my heater core - but it dissapated (sp?) after you pulled away. I noticed your coolant resv. was overfull, maybe you just need to drain some back out to below the Max line.
