Howdy!
« on: November, 30, 2009, 05:27:58 PM »
Just wanted to say Hi, since I haven't seen many of you guys on that other forum.   How in the world did I miss the start up on this?  Was I on the road?

Mutany!  Hehehe

I am so glad I found you guys!

so many questions, like What's going on for Knott's?   Are we posting it here?  Or the other site?  what about MITM?  Are we doing that still?

What happened to Uncle Vinnie?

Do we have everyone over here?

You have no idea how happy I am to find this place!

Well, it wasn't as if anyone could post an announcement over there.  :omg

Hehehe, I posted on the other site about how the site had changed and it seemed like the guys who made the site were gone.  I asked where they went and GWSTANG told me about this place.

The minute I logged on, I felt like I was back home!

Been cruising around and it is awesome!  Also none of the crappy bugs like the other site!

I love the format and the colors aren't in your face!  The conversations are very casual and like the other site was when I found it years ago.

Besides money, how can I help.  I'm not working this time of year so money is tight.  That will change in the spring.

I started a tour company and hope it will take off.  So, I can help with events and planning and such.  I still have the knowledge I took with me when I sold the ISP and computer store.

Oh and Mel when you get the password to the VGOFL you might want to take a look before the SWMBO sees it.  :craz Let's just say what goes on in there would get you banned from the vmf in a heartbeat.  :beat fd

Mel I tried to tell you and others over there but the personal info page no longer has e-mail addresses like of the old days.

MITM will be a little different because I threw done the challenge with Beach Pony's MBB. Hopefully some of us Californicators will visit MBB while some east coast lowlifes will come visit MITM....with a side drive up the coast on Hwy 1.

All are welcome....well almost all. :lol :lol :lol

OK, let's answer some questions and ask some more.

1- Yes I still have the fastback.  I am getting ready to strip the interior and pull the engine.  I think it is rentals for us for Knott's.
2- I did the car of the Month thingy.  Can I get a nomination for Captain America?
3- No, Craig, I'll save the sheep for Midlife and you!  I do however get to montana frequently where the Men are Men and the sheep are scared!

Questions -

1- What is MBB?  I am happy to help in any way that I or my company can.
2- Craig, when did you start on a Fastback?  Looks nice.
3- OK, what is VGOFL?
4- I don't drink beer so I'll have a root beer.
5- Anyone seen Angelo?

Mel

PS.  Just like home again!
