Smile Hopefully back on the road tomorrow!

Just thought I would start a thread for my 8000th post to say that hopefully my car will be back on the road tomorrow.

Poor girl has been down for about 4 months now as I have been lacking the time/technical knowlege to get her up and running. Tomorrow I have a well respected CL member coming to help me get her up and running

I have only gotten to drive it twice since I have owned it - so it will be like getting a new car

Wish me luck,
Jonny

Good luck Jonny, I hope you can get it back and running. I know its killing me having my car up on stands the last couple months. You and Tres have to get the cars ready for the 08 Texas meet. We are going to try and have somthing really big.

Tres seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. He is my mobile-mechanic and is the only one in Tulsa that knows about boosted SC's. Haven't heard from him in forever...

I will try and have her up and running for the meet

I know what you're feeling... My car has been in the garage for the past week getting boosted and we have yet to get it running. The damn thing keeps stalling
