Tim, do you realize that you just put law abiding and Rhode Island in the same paragraph? Are you new here?

I'm form Cape Cod, and not afraid to cross the bridge. Going to Farnbacher/Loles on Saturday.
I think I know Jim from our group runs. But if not, come over and introduce yourself. I'm the tall guy with the Grey ponytail. Jim, I grew up on Long Island. See you there.

Hey Steven, it's Mark, red Carrera, you came up to Fred's last summer and we had a valve adjusting party. Good to see you are out of your cave also. Looking forward to more runs this summer.

I remember you Steven, I'll look for you.

"HEY!! I resemble that remark." - that's what all the convicted felons say Jack.

"Gee, How's old "Buddy" Cianci these days ?" - speaking of convicted felons.

That Jim was my point - you know - "law abiding and Rhode Island" in the same paragraph - oxymoron.

I wasn't yanking your chain , I got the reference. I was just putting Jack and Buddy on equal footing - felon wise. Sometimes these smilies just go awry.

Did I say that

This winter is just too long, I can't even think straight

Oh, and about Buddy, I heard he has his own radio talk show. Not to mention that they put him in last years Fourth of July Parade to welcome him back from Prison!

Gotta love this place

I think the way to solve these issues is to have the law breakers from the Cape relocated to RI - now, break the law, no problem, go for a drive no bridges to deal with. Oh wait, thats' an issue.
I say - just shoot them.

Speaking of RI, here's a funny DMV issue I ran into the other day.

So my registration expires this year and my car is 25years old now (1984 Carrera). Turns out 25 year is a magic number in RI DMV; first you no longer need to pass any emissions testing, meaning they will still test the car at inspection time but if you fail emissions you still get an inspection sticker.

But wait the story gets better, turns out the car also can now get antique registration (plates). So I ask about these antique plates and find out that this type of registration only costs $16.00 for 2 years (the regular registration costs $65.00) but it's even better yet! Only in RI could they pull this next part off: if you have antique plates the car is COMPLETELY exempt from inspection & emissions! So guess what kind of plates are now on my car?

The fine print says you should only use antique plates for taking the car to and from shows or events, I figure I really don't drive the car much so I should be OK. Then I asked a few Police Officer buddies here and they said if I pull you over I'm looking for valid registration and insurance if you can show me these 2 docs you are set to go. The only thing that bothers me a little is driving around without an inspection sticker (but remember it's not required on antique plates) but without the stick it's a RED flag to get pulled over and then explain to the officer you are exempt.

I'm not sure who was the RI brain child behind thinking it's OK for OLD cars to not be inspected, as I said only in RI.

I think here in the "We Don't Even Kiss You First State" you can only drive 7500 miles on 'early american' plates.

Uh... one of those ruffians from the cape speaks up. It's called making sure you don't get pulled over my the police for admiring your car only to find out car owner is a hardened criminal that refuses to play well with others.
How the brother's 911 coming along Jack?

Hey Mark, and the rest of you goodie two shoes,

Of course like the rest of you, the cars have been away for the winter but they're comming out soon. I believe that my bro Mike has signed us up for a Limerock DE day in april with SCDA, I would love to have some of you guys come with us. I will get more details and post them here.

I haven't had a whole lot of time this winter to work on stuff ( 2 other project cars now ) but the 74 targa will be running strong this season.

Looking forward to seeing you guys.

Which one Jack? the 7th or the 20th? I was thinking of signing up for the 20th, in the goodie-two-shoes class I can' do the experienced one on the 7th. Let me know.

Not sure which one yet, although I was thinking later in the month so must be the 20th. That would be great to get a group to go, we are going to try to do several of them this year.

Hopefully we'll have a run before then and we can talk. If not I'll sent you off a PM with my phone # and we can talk. Would be cool to get a bunch of the Breakfast CLub up there.

No offense taken.
I just love that word - oxymoron.

How about ALL us degenerate car constipated frozen Yankees ( and Red Sox as well) meet up for the Lime Rock Historic Grand Prix weekend in May ?

As of last November, cars 1995 or older in Ma., do not need an emissions test either.
Were you able to get a reduced rate on your insurance? If so, any driving limitations.
