Hey we were at Fall Creek Fall that weekend too...Didn't see you

We just went up for the day. We took my old man's '03 carrera 4 for a day trip (he asked me to watch the house while they were gone so I left my car there to make it look like someone was home....I HAD to drive something...) It was fun hiking around and watching all the families get frustrated from dragging exhausted kids on hikes. I guess that will be us one day...

I'm here!

That old post that Nick posted is from 2010.

I think Nick finally found some plutonium for his flux capacitor.

I don't think I would have said that Zen.  Poor ole Nick will spend half a day on Google trying to find out what you are talking about. I hope nothing happens to Google. He would be a lost ball in the high,high weeds.

I'm back from England! Super trip, but I won't bore you with the details right now, unless you want! I was 5 minutes late to get the   Polo I wanted for a rental and wound up with a Fiat 500.

LOTS of types of s over there that we don't get here in the states! Lots of them, too! Everything from Polos to Transporters to Phaetons. The new Golf Cabriolet, about 3 different-sized van/busses. I got pictures and will bring Friday. Ssw several vintage cars coming and going to/from the Bug Jam.

Meanwhile, in the garage, I replaced the rear shocks on the '79. The left rear was totally shot-no resistance at all-like throwing a hot dog down a hallway. Also, the DPO managed to twist up the lower mount somehow so I had to get out my suspension adjusting tool (the 5-pounder) to beat coax it into tolerance.

Is it just me or does everyone here eventually have to use a hammer on EVERY procedure at some point? Replace shock=hammer. Valve adjustment=hammer. Convertible top installation=hammer. Rear window installation=hammer.
I am not making this up.

Been on VACAY.
Back now, nice to see I was missed!

Please... I am sure that smelly cat and I can find a way to produce 1.21 gigawatts to power the flux capacitor...

I know I was only 1 when the Delorean graced the big screen for the first time, but I have watched those movies MANY times since. No need for google on that one, old man!

And I wouldn't be lost without google; I was trained on the Encyclopedia! and a dictionary, thesaurus...etc... I know how to do those things at the speed of smell, I just choose to find it out the faster way.

Wow !!  you can do all those things ?  I'm really surprised you didn't know what a Avanti is/was. (pronounced) A-von-tay.
