Default hello, new to dorkiphus

After many visits just lurking I registered yesturday. Hopefully I will have something to contribute to this board. From what I have read this board is all business and little BS, which is great to see.

Cool

Welcome Chris. I'm sure you'll have a lot to offer. However, we have BS to offer too.

Where are you wrenching these days?

Thanks! I am driving a 97 Tahoe right now....... sigh. After 7 years of 110 mile round trip commuting and 10-15 track days a season, my 89 951 finally had enough and has some engine noise. I cannot complain as it has over 160k on it and it's to be expected.

After a year at HBL I recieved an offer from Matt Curry to go back to Curry's Auto after a 5 year absence. I am at the Dulles shop. I have my work cut out for me but hopefully I can turn it around and make it succussfull again. I have Matt's support and a chassis dyno as well! It should be good.

Thanks for the warning Chris but I kind of know Jase007 and am ready for him..ha ha.

Chris P:

Welcome! Glad to see you come out of the darkness and into the light. It's OK that you are a FEWC racer / hack / fan, we won't hold that against you. Hell, your fellow FEWC-mates ~ Tony K might just teach you Australian drinking songs to go along with Dirk's cat mating / screeching music


Hmmm...sure seems to be a lot of FEWC owner's round here now-a-days....

Cheers,

Jase

Oh yeah... that's what I'm talkin' about . Just remember - nobody with a good car needs to be justified.

Chris you need to use your old HBL picture as an avatar. I bet Matt is not quite as picky about your work area as RP was. Good luck at Curry's!

Chris,

I'm relatively new here as well. Welcome. FEWC cars are "fine." I just picked one up Monday so you are in good company.

However, if you think this board is all business.... just sit back and wait.

Hey Chris!

Congrats on the new gig. Sounds like you have some scope to make the Dulles shop a winner.

Will be great to have your FEWC expertise on the board, as well as your ability to go toe to toe on trash talk. When are you coming racing again???
