Smile Hopefully back on the road tomorrow!

Just thought I would start a thread for my 8000th post to say that hopefully my car will be back on the road tomorrow.

Poor girl has been down for about 4 months now as I have been lacking the time/technical knowlege to get her up and running. Tomorrow I have a well respected CL member coming to help me get her up and running

I have only gotten to drive it twice since I have owned it - so it will be like getting a new car

Wish me luck,
Jonny

Tres seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. He is my mobile-mechanic and is the only one in Tulsa that knows about boosted SC's. Haven't heard from him in forever...

I will try and have her up and running for the meet

I know what you're feeling... My car has been in the garage for the past week getting boosted and we have yet to get it running. The damn thing keeps stalling
