No one get a AMS logo on screen. I have never seen one. Someone has to write the forecast. This way each person writes their own forecast. And they know what a wall cloud is, not just words on the Teleprompter.

My dad watches WGN to see the weather in Illinois sometimes. They spend a whole lot longer explaining the weather back there than they do here. Here it is like 30 seconds with a 10 day forecast of sunny with the hi/low temps. There they go into radar and wave their hands on the map and explain what is going on and they have a lot more variations on the weather icons for clouds, thunderstorms, etc. (snow!). It lasts like 10 minutes and it feels like you learned something.

It is easy being a weather person here. We have no weather. So I am fine with the bimbos. :)

Not to lessen your work but you are already starting with a G50 car. The focus of our discussion is on a 915 car. There are many many more issues

I personally don't car for the US-spec G50 6-speed. I guess I'm weird.

I looked at your thread. Wow, great work. You are putting a 6 spped G-50 in a 89 Carrera. That is a lot different than a car with a 915.

Good luck with that project of yours.

Morning ladies and gents.

Feeling dirty - Just been rooted up the bum by a MacBook. That bloody OS X is nearly as bad as windoz8. :(

There are some extra issues as I already had the G50 pedal cluster, shifter mechanism and the lines for clutch actuation were already there....that does make it easier....

Not in some part of the country. :eek:

My macbook was locking up and auto-restarting. Was doing it more and more often. Finally got tired of it and took it in. A test they ran found it had a known problem with the Nvida video chip. They replaced the Logic board and I was back in business without any problems the next day, it was a free fix.

Flieger 08-29-2013 11:07 AM

Ever have one of those days?

Sidney is already trying to talk me into going next year to Monterey. I love that area. So pretty. I think Sidney has won.

GH85Carrera 08-29-2013 02:23 PM
