Peej is back..
and better than evAR!
Running won't help and the slicker can't protect you...100 comes pretty quick with this setup Weather was pretty crappy here in PA so driving to AWD in Jersey was not the most fun I've ever had. They got her up on the lift, dropped stuff, put stuff up and took her for a little spirited ride...all I can say is WOW. She's been running without AWD for a while now and to actually experience it again reminds me of why I love her so much Lil' Tommy had an appt. so figured, heck he put it in...might as well enjoy her so he drove her to where he needed to be. I'll let him chime in on his experience, but for me I have a huge smile on my face again. Thank you and thanks to Eric for making me an awesome sammich at WAWA...HIGH 5!

He mentioned that. I'm happy for you and as far as "BillStock" I'm sure as soon as you strap on your "racing" garb the slap talk will start and you'll have a new name
Miss you coming to the functions...maybe some day soon we can all get together again (I told you I would wear my cond..ummm I mean my slicker) Coming to Reading?

Great news Melis!!
I knew you'd like the 4.44's!!! And I'm sure they'll hold up better for you with all that in-town driving that you do!

It is starting to look like it's in the cards for this year Flying out to CA Sunday for my Mars mission, but it's proposal isn't due until May 16th. $200M instrument proposal for NOAA is due March 14. April definitely looks possible -Bill

hmmm... and silly me always thought that Mars was up in the sky... All this time it's been hanging out in California... Ya' know? This is all starting to make sense now... NapaBav is a Martian That certainly explains some of his recent posts
pssst... Bill the offer is still on the table, get me a mars rock and I'll never use this picture again.

Ok back on topic... Peej
This is a stunning example of a great SVX. It has 220k on the clock for starters, the body is in great shape...LOVE pearlies... The engine runs quiet and smooth as a button. Revs out GREAT with the 4.44's and I have nothing but good things to say about the car. I mean, she pulled fantastic while I was driving it in and out of Philly yesterday evening. Melis, you are one lucky lady to have such a fine example of an SVX. Oh, and since Dave had the trans out recently, it was a simple point and click operation as I already have the diff prepped and patterned before she got here. All in all was a simple, easy, no hangups swap, minus Dave getting the wrong filter I bet he will always look in the box before walking away from now on Tom |
