Body Damage is Cool
I reckon I can qualify as "antique enough" to post in this thread.

McV, ForcedAir and I were building turbos at the time. They both finished before I did, but ForcedAir couldn't get his to run right, so he went Magna. In the meantime, McV finished his and I got mine running (couldn't have done without those guys, Eddy and Kevin, to mention a few). It was my DD for years. I'm about to have to rebuild it again. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> I know my way around better this time, though.

True, we make friends, but if we screw around here long enough, even the most deft of us (like yours truly) can learn a thing or two.

I remember a lot the old guys who have faded into oblivion. Damn shame, too. A lot of tribal knowledge lost to seemingly mundane disagreements. Reckon they weren't so mundane to the guys who took them to heart, though.

Fact is, I've faded and reappeared a time or two myself. Don't think I've ever been banned, though...perhaps warned a time or two. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

When you have one of the original DON front bumpers. I think I have number 3 maybe 4. It is too long ago to remember.

Or when your join date is barely outside the 1990s.


I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.
