w00t! Another day off, and it looks great out there.

On a sad note, my dogs got spooked by the fireworks while eating their dinner last night. They busted through the gate and took off. I found Jake but haven't found Ollie yet. I posted a CL ad in the lost section. I hope someone took him in and will call the police or animal shelter.

Well, it doesn't seem like the ZOOM guys are interested. They talk a lot...

Alex and I think we should just start the Z club and see if any of them want to come over to us. I know at least one guy from C&C who would probably bring his 240Z over to the club.

BTW, we should have a meeting at this place: http://www.firstgeargarage.com/index...ction=location

Hey Aaron, i have this sitting in my driveway waiting for a polish. Thought about yours lol. I will say though, after driving it, and sitting in it, it is pretty damn nice for a minivan. A million times better than the grand caravan i did last week.. this thing needs some work though. The lady that drives it has hit something on every corner of the car.

I haven't done anything since last weekend. I might start tagging and bagging the nuts, bolts, and screws. I wanted to work on it this weekend and see if there's anything else I can take apart besides the engine.

Soo.... I'm thinking this 260 needs a bath in some acid to remove all the rust. Anyone have ideas on who I should talk to about this?

Alex is the activities coordinator now.

Aaron, I was wondering about that. What are all my options and the costs? I want to know what would be the easiest. Obviously, the bath would be time consuming and difficult for me because I'd probably want to take it all apart instead of letting someone else do it.

Well, I think we should do something next weekend. How does having a meet at http://www.firstgeargarage.com/index...ction=location sound? There's plenty of nice roads around the area south of there that we could hit up and explore.

Apparently, there's a big event at the Flying Cloud airport. http://www.airexpo-mn.org/index.html

Might be something to consider if you want the family to tag along. There's a pancake breakfast, too.
