PS: I'd send a picture... but I don't want to disturb the fish.

Note: In order to reply to any of this, and using the UBB, and it's related server, you become one of those things that prevents me from working on the car...

Well I see the thread is active again... I guess Waldo will be restarting his any moment now.

Andrew...
Wireless + water feature + wine + wine + wine = deep thoughts, posted.
Is the blackberry mightier than the wrench?

//edit
Aww crap, I think I just contributed to your downtime...
Sorry bud!

I've never called you lazy.

Just slow.

"A man with priorities so far out of whack, doesn't deserve such a fine automobile."

As far as us preventing you from working on the car: I don't see anyone else putting up 4 posts for one response. Seems to me this is all you.

You know, that line has already been used, in this situation.

And slow isn't a fair term...
I'm plenty quick, just on other projects, and I hardly ever do a half-assed job.
The latter, is my largest problem, I suspect... but, it's genetic, and I can't do much about that.

The good news about that sort of heritage is, that when Ferdinand finally released his car, they never caught up to him either...

...no Rob, it was just a wireless notebook in the dark.

...and don't worry about it, I was just winding down after about 12 hours of physical labour, intensified by one or two too many tim horton's extra large coffees.

Kinnaird knows what I'm talking about though, just ask him where he got his custom intercooler piping.

13.2 @ whofingcares, or perhaps 20.? @ unbeliveablyslow is slow.

You're slow.

Therefore, "slow" IS a fair term.

Get over it. Get started on the car. Then, you can be slow "your way".

More proof... message from the PPG himself, just an hour ago...

Another time stealer at work!!!

Andrew, you are the ANTI DSM'er. ----definition: one who does NOT eat, sleeep, cry, and live paycheck to paycheck to keep his POS on the road. Just put the thing together already and shut the trailer queen and ghetto king up. Its like a day or two worth of work. You remember how to use a ratchet right?

Actually, it's probably more like a month's worth of work... but it's all do-able.

The Ghetto King, and the Trailer Queen... what a kingdom.

Guess that makes me the fool...

Makes you the fool for NOT being able to drive your DSM.

Do you even REMEMBER why you bought it in the first place?

You'd THINK the guy that loved the cars enough to run a national club's website, would love them enough to get his running. Or, is it REALLY a love for computers/internet stuff, and the car was just an excuse to run a UBB?

"Actually, it's probably more like a month's worth of work... "

Uh-huh. a month's worth of work that's taking 4 years.

For a guy who complains that he doesn't have any "time" free to work on the car, you've been wasting a awful lot of it typing to those of us WITH running cars.

It's FAR from a months worth of work. Maybe if you spend an hour a day on it, it would take a month.

As for the UBB, He's german, its what we do.

No, Mark, I made a list at one point.... and there's a good 200 hours of work out there, sitting waiting for me.

Perhaps a bit daunting.

A few trivial posts, between checking up on customer's servers, etc, is no real time lost...

Andrew why dont you spring for a few cases of beer, put Dominoes pizza on speed dial and invite all these crap talking wrench heads over to help you finish it all at once. I realise it would take all the fun out of your banter in a test thread but then you guys could get some timeslips and put it all to rest. Just a thought.

If you need some help Andrew, I'm sure more than a few of us would be happy to help. We can help you beat PPG's Purple Abomination

We tried that once. We actually went there with the intent of getting the damned car back together.

However, by the time Andy cleaned off his workbench a few times (He actually VACUUMED the damned thing!!), made a large dinner for everyone, and decided that we all needed to watch a movie...

Combine that with how upsettingly ANAL he is about everything ("Did you remember to count the number of turns it took to get that bolt out?" )

... we got VERY little done.

-LOL- thanks guys... I will keep that in mind.
If it was only about re-assembly, that would work.

But, it goes beyond that...

And besides, the last time we tried that, they just made fun of me, because I tried to clean up the tools first, and get organized, when they just wanted to shove new stuff on the car.

A job worth doing, is worth doing right.

Don't you mean:

"A job worth doing, is worth getting done."??

Quit typing, and start on the CAR already!

No Steve, what he means is:
"A job that takes 200 hours is worth putting off for another day"

Confucius says: "Why put off for another day something you can avoid doing all together?"

All I see here is Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and blahh.
Christ, do you guys have vagina's?

Nope. We have a friend who hasn't had a running DSM for almost 4 years.

That, and the knowledge that we don't have to read anything we don't want to.

Now, go away if you don't like playing in our sandbox. (which is probably where the sand in said vaginas came from. )

I don't think you understand the purpose of this thread.

P.S. You are slow and ugly.

For crying out loud. Im probably pretty close to being as anal about things as you Andy, but from the time my car went for storage last fall till summer this year, I had built a motor for a friend, installed it in his car, took my motor out, and every thing else under the hood out, AND the interior, cleaned, sandblasted, painted, polished, dyed, bla bla bla f*ckin bla, and had it all back together not to mention all the other little favours I did like help another friend build his motor after pulling it in his garage and reinstalling it a few months later. All this while working a full time job and I had lots of time in between to slack off and party.

Im no mechanic, I learnt this sh*t from owning a DSM since my registry date. So if I can do all this in a few months, you have no excuses left in the book.

TALK MINUS ACTION = ZERO!!!!!!!

I read the to-do list and it looks like a lot of the time consuming stuff is stuff that is not required for the car to run, and is actually consuming time that the car could be running (just to hit the graemlin limit)

P.S you can suck door a knob. If you could see past my sarcasm I'm trying to tell them to stop posting and start getting work. It's called playing along.
Sorry I had to give it away for you.
But hey thanks for the derogertory comment. Ass.

Yes Rob.
Is that an official governement poster from California?

You're right Rob, a lot of it is not required for the car to run, but that was the entire point of taking it off the road in the first place... to clean it up, add some upgrades, etc.
So, unless that's done, there isn't much point in just dumping it back on the road.

Next time you're by, drop in... I'll show you what I have accomplished in the last 3 years.
And, introduce you to Junior.
I'll never blame him, but I must admit, I was a bit off in the amount of time he occupies...
The Mrs works 5 nights a week, and we don't believe in day-care, so there are some nights when I'm nothing but Daddy.
It's great... and he will hold tools, and shine the light in my eyes, but it's definitely super slow work mode.

It'll come...

And seriously, if anyone is passing by.... 371 Binbrook Road, only 5 mins East of the traffic lights you pass on the way to Cayuga.

"stop typing and work on the car"
yeah, BS, how much work could I get done, in the 4 mins it took to reply to you boneheads. I had to be on the computer anyhow, to help a customer, so that's paid time.

Now, off to Home Depot, for more deck supplies...

Wow, yeah, I can see how I should have decoded that from your post.

Next time I'll definitely peel back the layers of your post to find the true meaning. Or you could throw a smiley on the end of it and help us all out.

Just a friendly reminder that the internet, is in fact, serious business.

Oh, not enough activity in your post, you have to hone in on ours?????

Back to our original topic:

Wow, oh WOW.

Is the smack EVER about to come down.

You guys a still trying to get Andy to get his car going? Hes one tough cookie to motivate.

Cash man, Cash.

Who will pay me to work on my car?

And Steve, just what the f!ck are you up to?
You're telling Mark one thing, and me another...?

Will you backup an 11 before Mark?

Andy I understand the cash thing all too well. Id love someone to pay me too work on my car too.

Well, now we'll have to see tomorrow.
Mark is going to line up against Steve again in Cayuga.

Who's your f@cking daddy now huh punk

The goose is on the loose!!!

I dunno what makes me happier! The fact that the goose is alive and beautiful or the fact that I ran a couple of 11.8's

ok wait...of course it's the 11.8's

.... sigh ....

I got nothin' .

DAMN YOU!

Oh well, at least I'm still faster than the 4 yr project uber car. .

I wish I was there... I guess Andy has passed the torch to me
