Re: New Member here.

Sorry about that. I wanted to post on http://www.bringatrailer.com since that seems to get the biggest reach in regards to unique vehicles, and they required exclusivity. If it didn't sell there, I was going to post it here. Before I sold the car, I had "Dsalni" do up my car. He did a exce...

Re: New Member here.

Folks, Due to the change in economic weather, my company dissolved last year, leaving me looking for a job at the end of the year, and I'm still looking.....

Re: New Member here.

Lots of time has passed since my last post. Have many things changed? Not really. :roll: Let's see... During my last visit to LA for JCCS in 2007, my radiator cracked in 2 places in the middle of I-5. Kind of like your worst nightmare. Managed to get back by constantly adding water, and finallly fin...
