F-Body Europe

Well John I got some info on my return from the pit of hell!!!!! I had to drive an hour to give you this info so I hope you either read this or my wife e-mails you from Kuwait. I'm supposed to fly on the 11th or 12th of september I should arrive in Ramstein at around 1500 hopefully. I talked to some of the other guys here who are leaving and they said they had to get there own ride from ramstein to The Rock. I talked to my wife and she told me she gave you the keys before she left Thank god. I wasn't feeling her leaving my house keys with her girlfriend I know it would have been to hard to get ahold of her. If it's okay with you i'll give you a call when I arrive to Ramstein. I will try to give you a call in about three weeks to give you more info or i'll try to get back over here and use these computers. I'll tell you after this place the forty days leave i'm taking is going to be nice I figure I'll stay at home and work the rest of the bugs out of the Z and maybe drive her a little bit before I leave ETS in December. I also figure we can spend an assload of cash racing go karts!!! Either way I'll be in a peacful place again!!!!!!!!! How was Cars are Stars this year, I was kinda pissed when I looked in the newspaper and read a paragraph and looked at two pictures. Well man my times up on this computer i'll talk to you soon.

P.s. Prepare yourself to loose at the go kart place!!! I have a lot of built up aggresion:)

Cool. Coming home sooner than expected.......even better. I'm on leave for 21 days in sept right around when you get back. Hopefully I'll be up by then but doubt.

You have my cell still right? Call when me when you get in! 0160-620-8816/ hm 06385-99-3150

Silas,

Hey what's up john. Well I have some newer news. The day of departure changed I'll be leaving on the 15th of Sept instead. I'm not sure what time I'll be back at but I'll give you a call from the ramstein terminal. I really doubt my staff duty will be there to pick me up and bring me home. I'm supposed to have a week off as soon as I get back so that will give me a chance to start pulling apart the camaro to fix the flywheel and the rearend. And of course I'll probably swing by your house to pester you a bit and see how your cars doing. I'll tell you I'm so damn happy to be leaving this trashed place of the angry people. I'm going to try and get to a phone and call you soon hopefully but if I don't at least you know the date now. I'll talk to you later man and good luck with the toy. Ryan

The 15th is even better since I start leave on the 17th. I hope to be up by then. I'll be a 350 once again though. I should still be good for some serious pwr though just not the torque I've come accustomed to.

I'll be there to pick you regardless you just call me when you are here and I'll get you. It's good to know you're doing well despite the conditions. Just stay safe and hurry back. I need to bust your @ss at the go-kart track!

John,
Sorry to but into your conversation. I will be over in your area on the 25th to the 29th of Aug(training class on new 25k loader). Maybe we can hook up some time. Let me know when is a good time for you. I won't be in the GTA. I have a O2 problem, I think that it crapped out. The car is loading up real bad and my O2 light is reading lean all the time. Later dude.

Sup Rob. That's cool you coming down. Hey are you running a single wire 02'? If so I have a spare one laying around if you want to try it. It's pretty new less than 100 miles on it but my car didn't like it for some reason. It worked ok on another car though. Can't hurt.

Give me a call when you are in. 480-7858

Silas,

What's up John, damn sorry in a way to hear about the conversion to the 350 but I don't blame you one bit. If somthing should ever happen to mine I think I'd have to back to the days of the easy car when there where no stupid problems. Well if your not finished I'll give you a hand when I come home.

I need to go for now man do you think you can find a place were I can order an unbalanced fly wheel before I come home. I want everything in the mailbox so you and I can cruise before I leave. It's very possible talk to you later ryan

Man I'm sorry I missed you call! I'll look around for a flywheel for you even though you don't need it. If it's was out of wack you would've known instantly second you fired her up. I think something else is going on but what I don't know.

Just hang in there 20 days and a wake up. Just get back safely.

John well I jumped the gun down here. We finally got access to internet and I ordered a flywheel and everything else last night. I bought a 10.5 pound alluminum flywheel balanced but I can knock the weight off if needed to make it unbalanced. I also bought the rearend rebuild kit and a strut tower brace. I figure I only have a little bit of time left in germany and I don't want to cruise with you only at the go-kart place. I'm serious if were not up and running I'll rent us two tow trucks and we can go cruising, at this point of the game if it works it works. I heed your warning but I hope you wrong, I really hope it is just the flywheel if it's not I'm going to torch the car J/k I figure I need a new flywheel anyways the one I have on there is stock from 1996 so it's pretty old and wouldn't hurt to be changed. I also need to order a complete radiator hose kit if I could find out where to buy the complete kit and not individual hoses from. This should pretty much mark my saga and end it till I get the car back to Mass in December where it'll be garaged for a little while.

I really hope everything is going smooth on your car man. If you need any help once I get back i'll be there guranteed to help you. I'll try and call you in the next couple of days either at home or at your work. I'll talk to you later Ryan.

P.s. I'm still going to win first place so prepare yourself to lose :)
