Thule for me as well.

nostatic 01-10-2004 06:04 PM

so do you Thule roof? I've still got a Yakima I use on the 4-runner, but it doesn't have the towers for gutters.

Glasgow 911SC 01-10-2004 06:04 PM

nostatic 01-10-2004 06:05 PM

hey, there's got to be some perk for paying these mortgage rates...

Must have been a cold-weather moderator that moved this :p

RoninLB 01-10-2004 06:05 PM

at sundown today,
12deg air temp.
42deg water temp.
I use M&B Wetsuits, custom made in Long Beach Calif, for free diving or SCUBA..
I'm good for about 50min at 38deg/ 30feet underwater.
my board needs work. I also want to stripe it with 1962 356 Ruby Red because I have extra.

PS: the view is arcoss NYC Hudson River traffic lanes, the Verazianno Br. is unseen to the right.. the far side in NJ Highlands. in the center of the NJ Highlands area is a small verical post. It is the Ambrose Light Tower 3/4 distance across water that's marking the entrance to NYC Harbor

Shaun @ Tru6 01-10-2004 06:18 PM

-3 here today, -15 windchill. with AVS 100s on the Saab, if it sits for a while, it feels like you have a flat as you drive away... whump, whump, whump, until they warm up a mile away and go round.

tried to get into the project car today... door was frozen shut.

glad to be in SF next week.

LeeH 01-10-2004 06:39 PM

79 here in Phoenix today... shorts, t-shirts, and a/c in the car! Same for tomorrow.

BlueSkyJaunte 01-10-2004 06:57 PM

No kidding...that desert sun is BRUTAL.

Joeaksa 01-10-2004 07:13 PM

I almost had to turn the A/C on in the house! Ran the spa for 30 minutes and it was warm, and charged the clorine in the pool... ready for burgers and beer tomorrow!

Its rough the 9 months out of the year that we have to put up with this terrible weather here in Arizona. :)

Glasgow 911SC 01-10-2004 07:21 PM

How easy is it to imigrate to CA from....say....Scotland for example? I could do with some sun

Halm 01-10-2004 07:23 PM

Yeah. . . Must be rough there in AZ. :D How's your 3.6 transplant coming Joe?

nigel911 01-10-2004 07:26 PM

Glasgow 911SC - would you swap the weather for the Rangers? It can be a bugger trying to get the UK games on the TV in the States.

Joeaksa 01-10-2004 07:36 PM

Halm,

Transplant is moving forward. Need to do the wiring for the front part of the car and correct some small issues. Exhaust needs to be modified to fit (SSIs) or buy B&B then its time to make some noise! I am also backdating the car at the same time, so its not just the 3.6 that is taking time.

I have just been too damm busy flying all over the place as well as I needed to find a place to work on the car. My garage is too small to do it justice.

Glasgow, you can move anytime but better to come to Nevada, Arizona or New Mexico! Cali is getting full and is way past bankrupt. We live here and spend an hour on the airline going to the beach. Works better that way!

targa88 01-10-2004 07:40 PM

Joe,
Any pictures of the progress on the retrofit and 3.6?

Halm 01-10-2004 07:42 PM

Sounds good, Joe. Be sure to post as many pictures as possible for us "out of town'ers" when you start making noise.

Joeaksa 01-10-2004 07:49 PM

Lots of pictures but will post them when I get it done. There is not that much different with mine at this time compared to other transplants.

My problem is that I have been too busy with work and bought a newer Jag (below) that is too much fun to drive. I need to get the 911 going though and remember what real horsepower is about!

I will post them on my webpage for all give me trouble about!

have you ever seen the US southwest ?
if your interested in sun, the whole area is extraordinary.
I've seen much of it. Actually I've slept in much of it. and I don't sleep in their cities at all.

Glasgow,

Bring some of the local "dew" with you when you come. There will be no problem with finding friends and places to sleep! :) I always stock up when I am in Scotland!

Yes, Spring has come early to So. Cal. I just got back from Starbucks where the twenty-something girls are in shorts. The one who wasn't in shorts was in very low-riding hip huggers that had a problem hugging her hips. Hmmm...looked like she forgot to wear underwear too. :D

vash 01-10-2004 09:36 PM

yes, but i was reminded today by the newspaper that arnold is our gov. but what weather today! for me, happiness is a sundress and a pretty smile.

Glasgow 911SC 01-11-2004 10:49 AM

Man! Now this is tempting! With the way my team are playing I would be better off leaving them behind!

When I was in NY in Aug/September I managed to see a Rangers game in a pub called the Village Tavern (i think) on corner of bedford st. I also saw a few men dressed as (ugly) woman having an arguement in the street!

After getting dumped by my girlfriend maybe imigration isn't such a far off prospect afterall. :(

dd74 01-11-2004 01:02 PM

Chris: come on out. The more the merrier! :)

pwd72s 01-11-2004 08:56 PM

No (roof) rack here. But it's a balmy 38 degrees. Tomorrow, the chain saw portion of clean-up after the ice storm begins. Just think, FREE firewood! I feel sorry for you poor Southern Cal guys...nothing to do but watch bikini clad beach bunnies...

About as hard for an American to stay in Scotland over the time alloted by the British Government, and nearly get thrown out fo the country for the next ten years.

Glasgow 911SC 01-12-2004 10:24 AM

So that's why you left:)

Jared at Pelican Parts 01-12-2004 10:29 AM

I seriously love it in Glasgow. I dont know what it is about that place, but it seems more like home there than Los Angeles. People are also more real there.

dd74 01-12-2004 10:56 AM

I truly enjoy the no B.S. attitude in Paris. Despite what's been said on this board, those people are straight-shooters there. The only caveat. Don't speak English. Speak French. Or just try. They're very considerate if you try.

Florence, IT., is the best. Great weather, those mountains, and the food...

Tokyo - it's "Blade Runner." And scary!

So true.

If you at least TRY to speak french, everyone is cool to you. Paris is indeed a fun town.

Glasgow 911SC 01-12-2004 11:20 AM

Anyone seen Lost in Translation? Very funny. Highlights a few cultural differences.

Jared at Pelican Parts 01-12-2004 11:26 AM

mmmm.... Scarlett Johannson......

A very true depiction of what it's like to be a stranger in a strange land. The odd part of that is that I myself have lived my whole life in Los Angeles, and i still dont get it here.

The best thing i ever did was go travelling and wander around the world and see just different it is out there.

It very much also opened my eyes at just how laughable the behaviour of most American people is.
