The bad news is that I have 3 broken head studs :cry:

The good news is that the rest are still attached :D

Book your tickets now b/c I think I just found us our first winter project.

BTW, I am still planning on doing the August DE - I'm just not going to push her too hard :wink:

Sorry to hear the bad news Doug.

[Marc A]

Ahhhh hmmmm Charlie now where is that parts list :shock:

[Charlie Stylianos]

That stinks, Doug....Sorry to hear.

Let me know if you need any help while all this stuff is still fresh :wink:

[BW911]

Condolences, Doug. But it's a chance for upgrades...

- Bill

[Jim Richards]

Mmmmmmm, upgrades. :D

[Doug E]

Charlie - I might just have to take you up on that offer. Maybe I can pick your brain over a steak dinner on the deck :) I'll shoot you an e-mail early this week.

As far as the upgrades go I'll be trying to keep everything pretty much stock. I'm going to be putting the money I save by doing it that way towards a track car :D

[Jim Richards]

towards a track car

Wow, a track car...great! :D

[Jase007]

"a track car"

Doug:

That sounds like a GREAT idea! Let me know when you go shopping (for car, tub, engine, tranny, cage, etc...) Might have some parts to get you started if it is a DIY track car endeavor. :D

Track car? What a perfect name for my Carrera! :wink:

No problem, Doug. I'll round up some reciepts so you can can get an idea of what I did for mods, etc....

[Doug E]

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble but a track car is still a few years away. I figure if I start saving now then when the time comes it will just make the purchase that much easier ... at least that's the logic I'm using with my wife :wink:

"Eat cake when cake is offered" Track cars are, all things considered, each one of a kind. When you see the one you think is just what you want in a track car you should buy it if posable.

Drive, learn then buy.

[Jim Richards]

Drive, learn then buy.

Or build...

[Vicegrip]

Build if you got the $ and know exactly what you want and how to get there. Buy someone elses dream car, save 50% or so and you get to test it before you lay down the $. You never get out what you put in... :roll:

[Jase007]

You never get out what you put in...

I'll add "ever" to that statement. :shock:

Good point, Kurt.
