Q, you need to set up TT tournament at your house.....for fun of course.

Do a small round robin tournament and the winner gets bragging rights.

Chris I'd love to but I honestly don't like playing at home much. It's a lot different playing on carpet than it is wood floors/hard floors and the correct amount of room to play with. I been trying to hit as much as I can. I went from hittig Saturdays only to thurs-fri-sat- and Sunday now. Trying real hard so I can play in some tournamets as I enjoy it as a sport rather than a basement game.

Probably because it is.....

I actually don't like to drive it much during the summer because it doesn't feel as quick, I'm running the AC, and I'm in a freakin' Black car that makes it seem like 20 degrees hotter inside, everytime you stop to go inside a store and come back out.....it only takes it like 2mins to heat up in there.

I will be driving the truck for most of the summer, it is silver and the AC works like a deep freezer in it.

I am also riding the bike alot now to work and to run quick errands. I have seen a HUGE drop in the gas bill for the cars.

Nexx: post some pics of your beast !

Or, meth works, too.

If you're talking about FsP, then they definitely sound like great guys who are willing.

I still haven't seen your Z with the new wheels.

i like the fact that seem to be very active on the boards lately. they seem to like to help people with problems and seem very knowledgeable. its helps that they are reasonably close too. they seem like really good guys. i pm'd them during the weekend late in the evening and i got a response 10 minutes later. i can get everyone i want done by FSP for around $4000 including the hardware.

For the HR owners.
