*Waves*

Just passing through and thought I'd wave at everyone.

I've moved on from SAAB (not exactly a bright future there - ha!) and now maintain ambulances and fire trucks for the metro (all front line/mission critical equipment.) Good bucks, great benefits and get to do a lot of cool stuff, like driving anitque trucks in parades, playing with the big trucks at the airport, fireboats, etc.

With the new partnership, I wonder how long it will take Chrysler to build their version of the Fiat 128/Yugo CV? They were almost there with the Neon. Who knows what they could have achieved with a few more years development time... (Can anyone say 'baiting'? Sure you can, I knew you could!)

Y'all take care,

Beav

Been doing something similar for the past 4 months or so. Working on MD&HD gmc/isuzu. Also dabbling w/ fireturcks and now focusing on Volvo tractors. Doing a lot of fun work

Yep...next weekend is the Somer Nite's Cruise Car show (4th Sat of each month) but the Dragon Meet is also next weekend, so I'll be in NC....but I usually put my SVX in the show, so just let me know if you are going to be down for one of them....

Kia ora Beav,

Really nice to see you posting and hope it is not a one off. Your input is surely missed. Great that you are enjoying life. I am sure all those essential machines are in good hands.

Nga mihi nui, Trevor.

HiYa Beav, how's it going dude?

Squeeze DuJour eh? I see you are still talking technical.

Randy is out in business on his own now, so he's a busy boy. Nobody has heard from him since Reading.

Take care of yourself, and drop by more often.

I rather miss the old neon bashing days........ there's something to say about trolls... but I forget what it is.... (NOT THAT BEAV WAS A TROLL!!!!..... some of the old timers will remember who I'm talking about)
