Don't think anyone ended up parking it there either. But you have to admit
the races were more thinly populated than RASCAR events. Shame that series
fizzled out like that, actually, there were some good people in it.

Change isn't generally bad though... like Linux taking the
corporate desktop in Europe by storm is definitely a good thing
;-)

Been there, done that. It's not fun. Wish her my best!

Will do Larry. Hope it worked out well for you.
Thanks,

Good point, if we're going for a forced park it rule I want to adjust on my
car if someone reduces my luggage space.

Disagreements, as long as they have some kind of rationale, should be
acceptable, as long as the disagreement stays within the bounds of
whatever the protagonists don't see eye to eye about. Who knows, they
may even help clarify a grey area or 2, of which there will always be a
few. :)

Stop whining Larry. It wasn't that ***in bad.

I didn't even wake up for 2 days, and when I did I requested they hit me in
the head with a Hammer to put me back to sleep :)
I have a demonstration video showing 13 minutes of the 12 hour operation
(not mine, but the same). Believe it or not, Drills, Taps and Torque
Wrenches (no shit) were involved :)
