Not making Cincy



Tony,
I didn't even trade cars with my nephew until Sunday after working on your car, so Rodolfo didn't contribute to this sorry situation!
Then, of course, there's the friggen AC in my house that needs to get fixed. Too bad I'm such a cantankerous old fart that I have the house to myself and can't pawn this crap off on somebody else! ;^)
And lastly, thank you very much for the offer, but I'm sure you know I'm a driver and not a passenger.
I glad that a lot of us were able to pitch in and get Rodolfo converted. It was a big project and it was good to see it happen.
So, I trust you'll have a beer for me at Cincy???

My Auto slush box took a dump and I bought a donor car from Peter which had everything for the swap to 5spd.......yes that is rigth...I no longer drive an automatic. The guys (mike, greg, derrick, dave and timbo) came together 2 weekends ago to lend me a hand on the swap. We ran into difficulties and time constraints. So we did not finish. I had to go out of town last weekend and I had resoluted to not making it to cincy.

I mean, that was just amazing to me and I can not express enough Gratitude to everyone, but mostly to Dan for proposing the above scenario. The ran into some snags and had to re-do much of the work.
