Time to figure out who's who....I've only met waterlogged so I'm going to guess based on some educated guesses. I'd be curious to see if I get any of these right.
OK, left to right...Waterlogged, I'm guessing that's you giving us the moon - not based on this shot, but others in the set.
Next, Timnyl. The hint I got is that he's African American.
Next, in the glasses and muscle shirt...I don't know. I give up.
Next, in the white Tshirt and jeans, is that Fisherdn?
Finally, almost hidden and shirtless, must be Modena.
Right or wrong? Did I get any of them right?

Good guesses... you got two right.
Left to right...
1) That's me doing the mooning (a.k.a. the real work).
2) Chico elder (allowing us to take apart his car)
3) Some random firefighter there for modena's daughter's birthday party.
4) Terretsboy (Is he staring at my ****?)
5) And finally... of course it's modena! I've seen him with clothes on less than a Bush has bombed brown nations.

I guess you won't make it back for the race on Sunday?
Dunno if anyone else is interested, but we'll most likely be installing a set of Koni shocks in the WaterMonster this Saturday at Modena's. It'll most likely be like a 3-4 hour job (depending on the amount of beer). If the weather holds out we'll probably take a dip in the pool afterwards.

The only 8s there were Richard Baker (black 8) and myself. It was a wet morning but it dried off in time for the 3rd and 4th heats. I did pretty well considering it was like driving a whole new car since I just installed new Koni shocks on Saturday. I moved up 20 or so spots on the index but still got beat by the same STis. This time I was within 0.078 seconds of a trophy (3rd). 1st and 2nd are going to cost me a lot in mods and everyday driveability to catch as they're both Arshad's car and consistently 1.5+ seconds ahead of me. He's heavily modified and has a co-driver to keep the tires warm. At least for the fun runs I dropped 0.8 seconds off my best competition time and Arshad was still 0.3 seconds behind my best competition time while driving my car. Of course that was the first time he'd driven a rear-wheel drive car in quite a while.
Overall, it was a fun day. You all should've been there!

Yea 1:53am I had just gotten in from the trip. Still a little amped from 12 straight hours of driving and tripple caffeine cappacino's. I was ready to do an autocross when I got home...........ha! I had a blast in Philly. Saw the Steelers play. But sill wish I made that one. Did you get the Koni's figured out? What was the biggest difference? Hopefully we can all make the next one. By the way is the next one the last for the year?

Hey guys. I'm not new to the 8, but I am new to this site. Just thought I'd put my name out there and start b.s.-ing with you guys (maybe a girl or two).
Wierd thing happened this morning. I was rollin' down 70 East at about 7:30 by the airport and saw this crazy looking yellow and black car going the opposite way. Little did I know until now it was probably the guy at the top of the page. You pic doesn't do your paint justice, 'cause its eye catching on the road, and I could only see half your car over the median. My neck still hurts.
10:40pm and I'm snoring in 30 mins suckers

Yeah, that was me TKE. Thanks for the spotting. And yeah, I can never seem to find a good pic that really shows the paint. I always get dogged when people see photos. But when they actually see it, I seem to get good reviews.
By the way, welcome to the group.
And snowboarder...what time are we meeting at Hooter's tomorrow?

Well chico, snowboarder fell into some Cardinal tickets for tonight. Sounds like we may be rescheduling, possibly Sunday for lunch. We were looking at the Hooters in Fairview Heights, IL behind Borders across from St Clair Square. We'll try and keep this updated for when we have a definite time.
