    Patience, Grasshopper!!!

    He's been doing prep work for a car show that was this last Sunday. He's in the FINAL process of getting it together and out the door. Should be on the road this week.

    Believe me, it will be worth the wait!

    My Bad. I forgot that he was doing that.



    The nerve of him to have a life outside of doing things for us.


    Good Luck at the show Bill.

    Sorry the delay on this y'all but I hope to mail it out on 7/2 to CigarSarge. EDIT*** I had mentioned something about starting another thread but never mind, we'll just continue this thread.

    Oh, I got hosed at the show I was competing against a guy who had a 1985 XJ6 with only 8,000 miles on it so the car was darn near perfect.

    BUT, before the show started, I looked over his car. He didn't spend any time cleaning it which is a big no no, he had wrong hose clamps in at least three places AND he had aftermarket Dayton wire wheels on the car which is a MANDATORY 2 point deduction.

    Since he's the former president of the club that sponsored the show, the judges did not penalize him for the wrong wheels, they did not inspect his trunk, they didn't write him up for the wrong hose clamps so I came in 2nd. If they had played by the rules, I would have beaten him because I scored a 99.050. The old "home field" advantage deal screwed me which is total bullshit.

    Actually, I'm really competing for points nationally and I don't think the other guy is. In order to compete nationally, you have to participate in at least THREE shows. This was my 2nd and only his first. I may take to car out to Cleveland in August or down to Richmond in September. There's a third show in Massachusetts in August but I'd like to try and get a fourth show in because they toss out your lowest score that way (they only use your top three).
