No, he prolly used it on my tires to slow me down when we were racing.

Anyways, Mantis you are going to have to come down to the next meet!!

Although, if you come, we are going to have to get a keg just for you!!

Yup, it is nice and shiny!!!! I am just thinking if my budies can actually install it like they say that they can. Should I hae it installed by the dealer, or is it "easy" enough to install it by ourselves.

Oh yeah, just to let you know, these guys are building two custom turbo 240's by themselves-so they have experience around cars. I am just not sure about it.

Oh yeah, and make sure to check out the Houston meet thread in Car Talk to see details about the next meet!

Easy there buddy. The point of any thread is whatever the poeple inside it want to make it.

Yes, that is the title. Yes, we meet pretty often. But, this is the biggest, longest running thread in a-cl.com history.

If you are nice and pleasant, you will go far grasshopper.

This is more of a way to keep in touch with local guys more than anything.

We meet every now and then, have mod meets, go racing, drink beer, and start bar fights etc. Stay tuned, and I'm sure a meet wil come about soon. Hell, to be honest, we are a month past due on a mod meet.

dont know about the F88, but the T1 looks hot.

only downsides, it needs a crrying case. The doesn't stand uprigt well, so its either laying on te LCD screen, or the front. other than that, a great camea from what I've read, nice and compact.

the T1 is cool, especially since it has 3x zoom but no extending lens, and the huge LCD is awesome too. But i think it's actually too small. I played with it before and you almost have to use 2 hands cause you can't grip it with just one.

I'd go with the DSC-P100, also 5mp and 3x zoom, pretty much the same specs as the other 2 but actually cheaper.

hmmm, maybe the DSC-P100 isn't such a good idea. The image quality is apparently not that good.

if anyone needs some slightly used 17" toyo T1Ss (less than 2500 miles) here is your deal.

I just picked up 2 from this guy $90 shipped each.

Course I'll only use them on the track, so I'm not to concerned about tire wear.

The 1/4 is calling my name!
