That's the one I'm talking about

But, there is suppose to be a track rental in Gainesville on Dec 11th. I'm sure we could get a few members together. Torquey55, Dinko, Rajah966, E320Benz, etc.

Bah, I think I might be trying to show in Hot Import Nights... A lot of cleaning to do And to make matters worse I hit a pot hole today on the way into downtown on I-4, the air conditioning compressor was damaged and the FR Rim was just the slightest bit bent only noticeable if you really stare at it from the side

Damn.....I HATE I4......It has to be one of the worst highways around.....that sucks about your car, I hope everything goes well with the repair. That had to be one huge pothole, you sure it wasn't a sinkhole? Anyways, we will plan on something later down the road, hopefully without running into a pothole.... (stupid joke) I need to sleep. Take care

NOTKTS real sorry to hear.

Those parking lots get jammed on the weekends. The best bet there, may be the far westside lot. Past and on the backside of the Cirque La Nouba tent.

Wish I could make it but being thousands of miles away don't help right now. LOL. The wife is in Lake Buena Vista now staying at SaratogaSprings DowntownDisney. She's doing some resale hunting this weekend up off of 535 around Windermere.
Due to the building delays we're just about ready to hang up the building in Independence. Just was informed of at least another 6-8 month delay. Enjoy the sun.

Mike, Long time no hear. I thought you found a place and building was suppose to start in early 06? What are the reasons for these delays, It's a push to the finish for most of us with impact fees due for an increase anytime now

They are making some repairs on the exit ramp from the Turnpike merging onto I-4 West, they had torn the surface up to get ready for paving and you're coming about 60-65 off the ramp, the turn is blind and there was a 8"-1' hole about 1' long hole... It wasn't avoidable

OMG that sucks dude! I hate hearing about ***** like that. Potholes suck!
I am around most weekends & would love to meet any fellow MB enthusiasts. The parking lot at Downtown Disney West Side sounds like a perfect spot. There's usually plenty of space there. Psyched for Gainesville on the 10th too!

MEANT SUNDAY THE 11TH

NOTKTS, will you be in Miami for the 9th? I still want to have a meet but I'm not sure who will go. I have some friends that said they will be there. Torqey, will the 9th be OK for you? If not, we can change it to another date. Let me know.

Sorry to hear that, luckily you didn't damage anything. I'm thinking about taking up a claim against the city... Something seriously needs to be done with the condition of I-4. I've been without it for 2 weeks now, the parts still haven't arrived and I'm debating whether to replace the rim or just get a whole new set and try something else out
