I'm no longer working on 3/S's - Page 3 - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

James92TSi · 01-08-2008, 03:54 PM

All things considered, this car thing is a hobby (even if it is an income source every now and then

), so it should be enjoyable, right? That's what free time is for... enjoying.

I know you've given me and the other guys around here tons of help. There comes a time when you can't help in a "hands-on" nature anymore. That's how it goes... so hopefully the people you helped have learned to do some things themselves rather than just watching.

If nothing else, you were the one who pointed me in the direction of The Right Stuff™, and for that I am eternally grateful.

In closing: Viva la 3ST!

Having a garage makes all the difference. It is SOOO much better this way.

Yeah, one of the things I'm most looking forward to when my car runs again is being able to contribute more to 3ST

What's going on with your car??? I seriously haven't heard anything about her in AGES. Why aren't you drag racing anymore?

Hey Adam never met you but sent you a few messages, and was hoping to some day meet you soon at least when my car is running again. I just dropped 880cc injectors in and now it will not even start so back to the drawing board. I was hoping you would have called me last week so I could drive down to help you with your projects. Offer still stands, I know a little bit about the car so you wont be dealing with a total idiot. Future success on all you do though.

My thanks too for helping me out with the orange car when she went down hard in Seguin... I truly appreciate the assist, regardless of what happened 40 miles later

Wild fabrication???

Shoot me a PM letting me know what you consider "wild fabrication"... I'm always looking for new and interesting things to do to the pumpkin.
