BBQ at my shop mid may

[Hank Scorpio]

I have a buddy back on leave from the AF, I told him we'd have a BBQ when he got back. So, Im thinking May 14th. Im going to be MEGA busy on the car doing EVERYTHING before the iPd meet so its going to be a come for the BBQ stay for the help... real short notice I know. I'll probably wrenching on the car so we can screw with the car, eat, have fun whatever. Anyone intrested?

[linuxman51]

i'm in... oh wait.

[RvolvoR]

wft...ill drive the truck up and helpout

[Greenchunks]

I can prolly make it. You think we can get my harmonic balancer/timing done then also? And if we're feeling adventerous, I can put the browntops in and you can laugh when they spray fuel on someone.
It'd most likely be me working on the car with your tools, and me asking you if I've f!cked anything up yet.

[blu92in99]

Yeah, that sounds like a fun time in the old town....wait a minute. May 14th? Damn it. Nope, can't make it. Mom's getting married that day. Count me out. :-(

[gsellstr]

Hopefully I'll be around. Just gotta remember...oh, right, may be doing a heater core in the wagon...if it's here yet. Anyway, I'll try.

BTW Noah, the balancer is a frickin 15-minute job!! (ok, maybe 30 cause you gotta pull the belts loose). piece of cake.

[Slovo]

i was only planning on a cam swap and changing my wheels :rofl:

[Hank Scorpio]

As far as people working at my shop, I dont mind as long as you:

have your own tools (ESPECIALLY special tools like the crank holder NOAH)
Aren't doing anything that could possibly require an overnight stay of the car. I do not have the space
Can work on your own

I have to do: Wietec Cup Kit, XM, iPod integration, Homelink/autodim mirror, Wideband, boost/oil pressure/temp gauges and some other odds and ends in a weekend.

Also, I can provide some food, but otherwise bring what you want grilled. My only rule is the food must have had parents at one time ;-)

[Hank Scorpio]

Hmmm NO.

Yeah Kiri, cuz you're always considerate of other people when you drive around. Kiri would never do something as immature as driving like an a$$ in a group of people, passing in a narrow double yellow, etc.

As far as the crank holder, Justin (Silva) you still got yours? Gary if it's only 30 mins, wanna help me out? I dont have many tools round here

[gsellstr]

Sure. I'll try and remember the crank tool I've got on loan. I'm just gonna bypass my heater for now until I have time to get the new one in. It'll just make life easier (and colder for now). I'll throw in my usual PnP box and timing light so we should be good. Shoot me mail the day or two before as a reminder though. My brain's toast with all the crap going on lately.

[DoubleV]

I wish I could make it, but the whole 400 mile distance sort of kills any hopes. I'll be arround durring the summmer though, so I'll definitly be making it to some events then.

I belive its called a torch

[ShadowofBob]

I probably will be able to make it up there and combine it with a trip to V&S Auto Parts. I don't think I'll be doing anything to my car, but you never know. Either way I can help anyone out that needs it.

mmmm Veggie burgers :badboy:

[Hank Scorpio]

OK guys Im not sure if Im going to be doing much on the car that weekend.... I'll know by monday.

[pooprah]

Whhhhhhhhhha? I flpiing allready cleared my sechudal for you doug! I'm coming and working on your car wether you like it or not! :rant:

That was different, that was not showing off, that was bikers pulling out into the middle of the lane when I was going past them and I had to swerve to miss them and the huge U Haul coming at me. That was self preservation, and biker preservation.

[Greenchunks]

So Doug, is it still on?

[Hank Scorpio]

I'll be there. The bbq will be there. I'll have a limited amount of food Im providing (ie, bring what you want to eat). Its a Potluck

[pooprah]

I'll brink some grub, any requests?

[Hank Scorpio]

Whatever you want to eat/share. Its going to be a potluck. I'll be starting the grille @ noon.

[916volvosport]

you guys should visit me.. i'll be replacing the torque rod bushings.. heh.. i live about 7-9 minutes away from doug's shop.. bring some liquor :-D

[gsellstr]

Ain't got anyone to come home to to be with so I can stay out as late as I want (good/bad). I'll be there, crank pulley tool in tow, as well as my usual PnP box. I can grab a couple 24's of soda if anyone's got requests. Pepsi or Dew are my preference, so if that's cool? Any thoughts of a cruise afterwards? Maybe find a couple pool tables or something? Just throwing out ideas. I GOTTA get out so I'm down for whatever (as long as it's cheap).

[RvolvoR]

hey gary my friend and i will be lookin for somethin to do later int he evening too cause i dont get off work till 630, so we would probably be down to chill or whatever (cruise etc)

[gsellstr]

Cool. As long as it doesn't get cool since the 740 doesn't have a heater core presently..unless I cruise back and get the 140 with beat. :)

[Hank Scorpio]

I hear you on the cheap thing Gary, Im trying to save my money for iPd.

I probably wont be up for cruising even if I finish the R sat. With the front end out of alignment I dont want to ruin a brand new set of tires till I can get it on the rack monday.

[cst805]

Yah i'll try and make it, I'll whip up some good vittles to, seeing as i'm an official cook now. I'll bring tools in case n e one needs to use em but wont be doing any work on my car, as my new s90 needs nada. lookin forward to meeting the man, the legend, the doug. ha ha

Oh yah, anyone got anything they want to trade for stereo stuff, while were there? I have a very nice fujitsu eclipse deck, alpine amps, 4 channel and a mono, tons of connectors, tuners, subs, the list goes on.

[Greenchunks]

yay, wakinh up tomorrow is gonan suck, stupid stupid steel reserve.

Dude, get real. I went to bed around 2 and I'm already up (not willingly...d@mn internal clock that's used to 5:45am). Only had a slight buzz going when I went to bed.

BTW, Mandango's is a decent place to go, 3 pool tables, darts, ski-ball, bar, maybe even food-type stuff. Depending on what goes on afterwards, I have a couch open and a spare room with nothing in it (ex-gf's old room). Bring a sleeping bag if ya wanna stay.

[pooprah]

Get this i got 4 hours of sleep and i feel great! for seriously

[Greenchunks]

mee too! .........sorta

[Magnum TE]

Huazzah!

[916volvosport]

i'll be bringing my 13" tv and xbox... don't hate

[Hank Scorpio]

baby noah = pussy noah

[916volvosport]

doug = almighty

[Greenchunks]

Woot! after all the commotion, it seems like I was getting roughly 15-16 mpg on the way back, hard to tell, but I went about 97 miles and it was lesst than half a tank, I'd guess I'd get 120 to the half tank. So it's better for now. And doug, I wanna see you drink two tall cans of Steel reserve, and not hate it then. So bugger off!
