What's up you mud-dogs?

[Steve R]

Well...my other forum is in the trash with some data-base crash...so it's back to the old stompin' grounds for a while.

I glanced through some threads, can't believe how so many of you old-timers are still around & kickin'...good to see so many familiar screen-names. Last time I was here everyone was convined I was some kind of "AE" account.

What's up with everyone & how has everyone been?

[DennisAJC]

Yo! Steve-o!

Long time no hear. Hope things are well with you and your wife(Ferrari).J/K

You still have your H2? Give us some up dates.

After confirming your IP, I can personally guarantee to everyone that Steve R is not a troll... just a has-been.

What's up Steve? Nice to have you slummin' with us.

Hey Steve, Wow it's been a while.

You still haven't given us an update!

[Steve R]

Update....

Not much. Got totally burned-out on running the off-road club, I let it go entirely. I got tired of running the same old trails and the HOURS, BLISTERS AND GAS spent prer-running & trimming back the trail so that everyone was happy. We also had too many dealers refering people to us. As a result the fun/cool guys did their own thing looking to avoid the newbie-parade and I got stuck with a bunch of strangers looking for their free 2nd Hummer Happening. I was always worried about someone suing me if they got hurt or scratched their rig too. I did it all for fun, no money or other interest....and we did have us some good fun!!!

I'm enjoying the Ferrari thing now. It's a lot of fun, although they don't get better gas milage (when driven properly) then the H2. A group of guys meet right up the street every weekend and we have cigar-nights, lunches, drives, etc. It's a lot of fun and they're just about as sick as you boys. It's the opposite of off-roading, even the slightest crack in the road gives cause for concern...and a scratch (or the dreaded rock-chip) sends chils down owners backs! Still, a LOT of fun.

I miss the off-roading a bit...perhaps I'll find a local group (hook me up Horace) and go along one of these days. I got the H2 detailed and all the scratches came out of it pretty nicely...not sure if I have any clear-coat left to buff. The winch & gear just sits there begging to be put to use.

Otherwise all is well...lost a few more pounds, playing racquetball, mountain biking, a bit of weight-training. Kids are growing, business is good.

What's up with all of you? Is Alec still around...I've not seen any post by him on these recent threads?

[KenP]

Alec is an asshole.

Glad you're having fun with the crumpet and tea crowd.

You've missed some good runs out your way. A couple of groups have run the Rubi recently. We'll be in Moab in April. Come on out!!!

He lives in your skull.

You should post up some of your Ferrari vids there Magnum. Love to see your beast in action.

You can still off-road in a Ferrari. Once.

I tried calling you over the holidays. You must have been vvvrrrooming around Lala land.

[Alan06SUT]

Lame-Bore-Weiny....I don't think so!!! But I can easily see Drty cruising in a Gallardo spider.

I haven't tracked the 360 yet, just doesn't seem like a convertible is the thing to run at a track....just feel too exposed. One of these days I'll join the guys when the rent track time. I'm in the midst of changing exhaust systems and doing cats as well. Also need new tires & an alignment.

Remember that 355 I bought? Kept that thing for nearly 2 years, put on about 6,000 miles and then sold it for about $2k more then I paid for it.

I've considered making some video's....but it's just not like off-roading...eveyrone is driving fast and we don't stop much. If you drive ahead to take video, you'll be behind everyone the rest of the day after they all pass you. And unlike our rigs, they don't run CB's...and even if they did, most cars are too loud to even hear the radio! We split groups and lose people all over the place. Ya know, the more I think about it, the more I miss off-roading.

Steve,
You should PM h2co-pilot. Request to get on the invite list for some killer tea parties.
