Last week was odd. There were a lot of people there that were just there to see the event because the heard about what was there the week before. This brought out the lawn chairs sitters and tire kickers. Most of the "rich" dudes are the most talkative and most fun to talk to there. Until recently there were no attitudes there. Times are a changing. I'd rather see a bunch of exotics, track cars, highly modded cars, and just high dollar stuff instead of a bunch of slammed civics, subarus and evos. I can see that **** in any parking lot around the city.

Last week sucked, had to drift for two days while fixing one of the things that lets us move. Then both reefer compressors took a dump so that was a race to get one running before all the food went bad. Only another 3 1/2 months to go!
Sounds like wild first part of the stint Mike. No access to ebay might be good for your wallet and Robin's sanity, even if it kills you. Yes, supercharged is fun. Lots of fun actually.

Here's a pic from far enough away that it looks great:


Oh and there's this:

Kept those tags, eh?

For serious though. We need a meetup. I met with two Columbus 8 guys this week and had fun cruising around, but had to do it at street-legal speeds. I was promised a trek around some twisties in NKY that hasn't materialized yet... BB needs to get on that

I'm down for anything other then a weekday and sadly this Saturday (I work this one). May will be a little busy towards the end for me but early to mid May I'm open for plans! There's a show tomorrow I believe, dude put a flyer on my car last weekend so if you were at fuel and coffee you got one as well.

I'm headed to a Cars n Coffee up here this Saturday. I'd just need a couple weeks notice so I don't plan anything, and I'm going to be out of town Memorial Day weekend.

Damn! The time someone is going to be there I can't make it because I work! Memorial Day Weekend I may be out of state if I have off as well. Definitely Looking for something to plan, My weekends are pretty much open except for those days. I live closer to Dayton but in general I don't get out much is if some people wanted to meet up and show me around or something I'm down for that!

Mazdax3, you were spotted. It's not like I could really tell you who I was, so I just took a picture and "raced" you from the light on 22&3 in front of Tractor Supply...hahaha. Beautiful car though.

I saw a silver 8 about to get on RT 4 in Fairfield today near Jungle Jims! I work at Performance Toyota for those people who drive 8's around the Fairfield area WHATS UP! lol. This Saterday I will be getting my Plates so maybe Sunday I will be going for some Fuel & Coffee.....Today was my last day for my temp tag so I had to get a extension one. Damn dealership taking forever to mail stuff lol.

Also, pain in the *** to put the new temp tag on. What the dealer used to secure their temp dropped into the bumper, today was the first day I had to do something other then a oil change to the car . I had to pull the top section of the bumper to find the "nut" they used.

So after a week of driving and a lot of "testing my that my boost gauge is working," I managed to get 21mpg out of the M3's first tank. If driven sanely, i'd imagine i could easily match the 525's 23-24 combined and 25-26 highway.

Yeah, there is no cars and coffee at Fuel on Sundays. It's a Saturday thing. During the summer they do a motorcycle thing every other sunday though.

I went Sunday two weeks ago and it was a huge turnout. Was there something special that time around?

Robyn reports the 8 is wholly ours now, got the letter lifting the lien from the bank.

I forgot to ask you Kevin, if you get much whine from your supercharger. It's a centrifugal type, right?

Mother in-law flies in from ARG on Friday and i'm within 10 days of the due date. I have a feeling i won't be doing any autox this weekend

Thanks for the invite Tact. Wonder what class I'd be in with boost, tons of suspension mods, and r-comps?

May be BSP? I don't know though... but for sure, you are not in STX with me, so I'm safe.. lol.

good luck with new baby, and hope you'll get enough sleep before baby comes. I've heard you won't get any sleep for a while!

Anyone here knows how, or someone who can weld Stainless steel exhaust? I'm thinking of getting a mid pipe and adding a high flow cat. (or, possibly buy high flow cat pipe and add resonator, or something...). also at the same time, i'd like to learn how to weld as well...

I'm jealous Tact. Realistically if I were home I'd probably just do one day since it's quite a drive for me, but still. Good luck.
