Wake up a little cranky this morning Jack? :roll: Jon usually covers E101 for the site... :-D
Lakester is looking good :cheers:
-
Okay -- I've been prodded. What can I say about Cmursick and his sentence structure (that I wouldn't normally say but you asked me to do so)?
How about if I compare him to a girl that's in trouble: No periods. :wink: :roll:
-
OK OK Jon
I have been really silent about my being a "gramer natzi" but your abbreviation of Wilmington is horrible. Consider yourself called out. :-D
-
Okay, Sir Rick. What'd be, in your opinion, a better abbreviation for that there town?
PS "gramer natzi" Come on -- you're yanking my chain, right?
-
... Wake up a little cranky...?...
No. Trying to read stream-of-consciousness stuff gives me a headache. Seriously, I do look forward to reading his posts; sans headache.
-
OK guys, here are the missing parts ......,...,... :dhorse:
OK, back to topic cmursick keep up the good work and the pictures :cheers:
-
Stainless, no nomenclature for the parts you listed???
Ron

Yep
Just trying to get a rise

They say there is a pill for that, unless it lasts longer than 4 hours, then you may need a Dr :cheers:
-
It would be a bummer if this guy didn't come back. I'd like to soak up everything I can before I start a build of my own.
-

Here!
Yes it would be disappointing if the grammar police had put him off the road.
-
Chris will be back. He is just busy
-
What kind of engine is that, sort of looks like Morris Minor ?
-
It looks rather like a Ford 2.3T
Mike
-
