Important Cincy Notes

[doubt at inwave.com (Nate Mellom)]

I was a Gathering virgin until last year, and in my neck of the woods, 
I've only met a handful of listers, and as a result, I was a little lost 
last year trying to remember people and cars as I met folks.  What about 
a sign-up sheet, lanyards or name tags with pertinent information, 
and/or vehicle cards identifying owners?  Might make socializing a 
little easier, I know I had a tough time.
My 2/100th of a dollar.

Scirocco content: I don't know what I did to my car, but I decided to 
drive it today (the 16v I've been having stumbling problems with) since 
it was so nice.  Know what? It ran almost impeccably!  Almost no sign of 
it's prior problems.  Guess tuning the mixture, adjusting the timing, 
installing a new O2 sensor and cleaning the plugs did something.  Now to 
install an A/F meter so I can monitor what's happening.
