Figured I should say, "Hey I finally made it to this place!"

The conditions on another board I have been on since almost the first day it was open are so bad I really can't see going back for a long time or maybe ever. So much for about 20 years of association!

Hope to be able to add to the community in a positive way!

Oh right. Thanks for the reminder, Terry.

I've got a bit of a rat rod '72 Morris from New Zealand originally. Since I got it in 2002 I've changed out the front brakes for discs, installed SRacer adjustable suspension bits with GAZ shocks, replaced the '70s brown interior for grey and...

Oh yeah, did a K1100 twin cam head conversion. But that has been kicking my butt for a while now. I can't seem to get the ECU to do the closed loop fueling properly.

The journey is where the fun is! I'm sort of looking for the next project, but need to move an old VW out of my garage and on to someone else.

Welcome aboard. This place has been a wealth of knowledge for me. Also good people always willing to help. MiniDave has been awesome. Just yesterday I called him up, having never spoken to him before, and he walked me through a project that I was a little unsure of on my mini. GREAT COMMUNITY!!! 4.gif

We're all happy to help, I've had great communication and help from everyone on the board, happy to be able to give back a little too.

I could never understand the attraction of the other place with its 1990's (or was it late 80's) format.  Same goes for Reddit and 4chan, I cannot deal with that old format when I know a much better and eloquent format exists.

I am sure there is archived there many years of knowledge, guess what? This place is being populated really fast with the same depth of knowledge. Plus, here is the cool part, this place is asshole free. 

Dan, the proprietor of this board, is a hell of a nice guy. That in turn has attracted a great group of people on here.

Welcome here.

Cool, now I feel all warm and fuzzy.

Thanks!

Sounds like you've got a pretty cool project. Have any pictures? I'd love to see the engine bay with that twinki setup.

Hi! My name is Jim and it has been 5 weeks since I bought a new car.

I have been tempted to buy more but I have indeed resisted.

Praise Dan.

Are you patient?  Do you do layaway?  what about sexual favors in trade?

Organs? can I interest you in a heavily used Liver? 

Email or text me tomorrow, it is 11 and I have to get up at 0530 for the gym tomorrow.
