Installing my SS Brake Lines, Slotted and Drilled Rotors and Hawk Pads on at least the front rotors today. If I can figure out the rears without a clamp or tool I will be working on those too. If people want to wrench a little today and have my number give a call. I will be working at it until early afternoon.

actually came over here to say was nice to see all of you guys in the mix for the cruise ... man if there was somehow to be exclusive for us (the rotories) it would surely be over the top

have to admit looking into that other location does sound very interesting

Just so you know, our cars only squat down untill about 80 and then they lift slightly (depending on which front end you have). Not sure how low you are but Mike was the lowest I know of and he could get on his very easily.

If I remember correctly, Monchie has chopped springs. Which could tend to bounce and at high speeds be really dangerous. Or am I thinking of someone else?

Locals:
13X and I are in the market for some items for WHiV4. If you know of a supplier for any of these items let us know quickly as we are finalizing purchases next week:
beer mugs
Lanyards
Quality T shirts
Inexpensive items related to cars, the desert, Las Vegas.

Also looking for donated new items for the raffle such as 7 and 8 parts, car care products, etc.

Would like to get some dinner for two comps at a local restaurant or Casino.
Every year after the event I get why did you not ask? Well this year I am asking. Help make this years WHiV the best yet
