Hey Chris, If you need help with the shop I'd be more than happy to help out. I'm currently un employed and have lots of spare time.

Add my name to the list!

I have drill all weekend but I should be able to stop by with my M3 around noon +/- one hour.

Are you located on the west side of I-5, south of the Poodle Dog?

Did you drive by the other day? I thought I saw a car exactly like yours with exhaust in the area. Stop by the shop and say wusup. I might have little bit of work for ya.

As far as meeting on Sunday goes, the time is NOON. I will be there earlier most likely getting the place ready. It's almost good to go. Put the OPEN sign up last night. Getting ready to head back over there. The lift should be in and it's about time to take that sign down. Will be there till about 8pm tonight. Then back at about 9am tomorrow. It's become my first home. I only go to the house to let the dog out.

Guess that's what being self employed is all about.

Allrighty! Well it looks like it's gonna be a long weekend for me Gotta be at the shop early so I can get the big sign finished. The lift showed up and I got the panels out of the sign. About 80% of the vinyl is off of them. Have to remove the rest in the morning and get the vinyl cut for the new ones. If all goes well all of the signs will be up by the time I leave for the show. That's the goal!

Koyi, can I roll wit you to the show? I'm gonna have to drive the truck to work tomorrow and do not want to drive that beast all the way to Qwest. Let me know!

For the rest of you that might meet up at the shop before the show, the number is 253-922-7790.

Can't wait to see James' M# all pizimp'd out. I bet it's in the Exhibition center right now! That reminds me, gotta charge the camera. c-yA!

I don't have the Acura anymore (obsessed with Bimmers these days). I still have fond memories of my TSX and lurk around the forums here pretty regularly...

Looking forward to Sunday - see you there!

KOYI- I might not make it to the show tonight. I got lots to do before tomorrow. I definately want to get my signs up, and currently they're not. So, give me a call, or just stop by around 3, I might still go depending on the progress today.


Zasker1-Maybe Tini Bigs? Are you bringing the TSeX up here? Or are you taking the company jet again

It was pretty small. Maybe about 1/8th of the cars that were at HIN. The roadster show kicked ass though! Makes me want to get a classic and restore it. Thanks for driving Koyi! I needed a break from shop work.

James-The car looked good! Did you get a trophy for having the hottest BMW?

Well if it's as nice tomorrow as it was today, the first meet of the year will turn out well. I'm gonna stop and get some burgers, hot dogs and buns in the morning. Along with some drinks. The BBQ will be fired up at about noonish for everyone showing up. The shop computer is up and running, but I wasn't able to get the internet stuff up and running. The webcam and software is there, just needs to be loaded and configured. Unfortunately I won't have time. If someone feels like showing up early and tinkering with it, we can get this meet live on webcam for the rest of Acurazine to join in. I have to focus all my spare minutes tomorrow on getting my street sign up so I can turn in the lift on Monday. SO DAVID, I WILL PROBABLY BE THERE LATE AROUND 5 IF YOU STILL FEEL LIKE STOPPING BY.

Can't wait to see ya'll there!

Nice pics!!

My favorites.... the stock 3.0CL (always beautiful) Chris's TSX (better with the stock front piece!) and the two RWD inline 6 Toyota's. Oh I wish I could have been there to pet them.

Sorry guys. I had to bites some heads off at work.

My bad... The wheels threw me off. I've not seen a 2.3 with those wheels. I had a red '99 3.0CL with those wheels. It was nice.

Still love your car though. You gotta let me drive it at our next meet! It's a stick?

I had to post this one over here.


The street sign is up as well. Big thanks to Lunchbox for sticking around and helping me weed the vinyl out and prep the signs. (And watch me put them in just in case the lift fell over)

Thanks to everyone for showing up and for all the best wishes on the biz. Good to meet some of you and good to see some of you again. You're all welcome over anytime you're driving through fife. Stop in and see the progress of the shop. I took a pic of the new sign up, just waiting for it to hit the e-mail account.

C ya'll at the next meet.

(Travis-I like the stock front end better myself)
