Trev,

I hope you haven't shipped your car yet? You may want to find another source. PHOCKERS can't find my car! My "He said POOP" is lost, stolen, or damaged. My crap cleared on the 20th through customs and since then no one can tell me where the phug my car is.

Crap's insured for a 100K so they better get ready to write got dayumn big check. I'm livid.



WTF? are you kidding?


No James, I'm not kidding. As it stands right now it's enroute but they're an hr later as it is. In a 1/2 hr I suppose it'll be here. Going through the car w/ the white glove too.

Well the SRZ is finally in her resting place. 4 hrs late but she was lost and I can believe it. Neighborhood doesn't show up on GPS and her phone dropped from the zones so she couldn't call and I couldn't contact her.

As for the car not one iota w/ the exception of my floor mat fastner is gone. Didn't one thing but they did put 2 miles on it. Why? They couldn't figure out how to start either after I left detailed instructions so I believe that was a deterent too as they said they charged the hell out of the battery. Thanks! They all thought it was dead and out of fuel. I left just enough in there to burn the pump out and they didn't even manage to do that. They did try to hotdog it because she pops at idle...I'm assuming the plugs are all jacked up.

No scratches or nothing and relatively clean too. Now it's on to finally getting all the bugs worked out on at MY PACE vs trying to get it to pass every single yr in Germany.

Later guys.

Mine leaves tomorrow, TransGlobal, costing a little bit more but will get there 10 days earlier, I have everything in writing. It includes customs, and port fees in this price and I'm getting it picked up and picking it up at Jacksonville, goign to be 1520 Out the Door. About 600 more than Interglobal but the piece of mind will be worth it for me. Just got in from cleaning her for the last 2 1/2 hours getting everythign out from under her.

Are you working yet Silas?

Brian, wanna trade places? Must as I talk about all the inconviences of being in Germany--I'd still rather be there.

Trevor, Good luck w/ the car. Man there are a lot of Saleens in this area. I swore I saw your car the other day but it was a hard top. Chick was driving it and yes she looked good. There are so many rides down here but from what I hear no gets together? WTF? Hell I could've stayed in Germany for that. LOL

Nice, get her number for me next time, I'm sure your wife won't mind;-) She'll understand after I come and crash at your house a few nights;-)

Or in your garage, while we are switching you from pulley'd power to exhaust power'd;-)

Dude it's hot as hell in that garage, I don't think you'll want to stay there. LOL I see why everyone here has their garage door up. It's a sauna in there! Dude I'm living in a 1600 sq ft house and it's TINY. Barely any room for the wife and I. 3 bed 2 bath and the 3rd bed is blocked off until we literally move out of here. It's our storage room. The 2nd bedroom is the kids (cats) room and they don't share...LOL We'll be camping outside in the backyard or something. ha-ha!

I'll be sure to get her name and number next time I see her. ;)

She's gone:(

next time I see her will be August 1st in Jacksonville:)

Damn speed limits:( Had to get some gas out of here so ran her up to 170 on her last little run:) No more of that now:( She's set to 3500 in Neutral, and 4200 in gear, so no fun for them;-)

Barely any gas in her either...

4200? that's a lot ... I mean, not red-line-lot, but still ... If I had to limit mine for shipping, I'd probably go something like 2000 or so ... knowing it idles at 900 ... also, put in a speed limiter of 30 or so ...

Haha, just seeing this, I just took it as low as my handheld tuner would allow me too, jsut because I might not have my laptop when I get to the port, but I'll definately have my handheld tuner to adjust it back to Good:)

Speed is limited in it to 35mph though:)
