I like that mexican joint, Baja Miguels in the South Pointe, you get bean, guacamole, salsa and chips complimentary. Then I just leave. It's pretty cheap but I am cheaper. Roberto's is good food too bad you get the cockroaches complimentary.

Viva la Revolucion!

No one but me & Mike doing the dyno?? Hay Mike, get on the phone with the others! Be sure and set a date after the 14th so I will not schedule over it.

AJ, I posted that I have the map program and never heard back from you. When can we get together so you can get it? I'd like to get it started.

MX193 (Jason), what are you doing Saturday? I've got some sticky mods and bolt on mods that I want to put on the black beast, looking for help if your free. (you may be interested in the sticky mods)

Hay Flip, if you schedule a early food meet somewhere I'll come. Just can't be the weekend of the 14th (tuning the car) or a Saturday night (Nancy's night).

The Dyno day will be after you get your car back Phil. The lvmazda guys just did there cars. So March is a good time. Plus that right after I get all my other mods on.
Phil, Jason (MX193) sold his 8 got a Jag. I would help you Saturday but I'm working (and don't know how to install parts lol) and Sunday I'm going to the spring mtn event. Sorry.
If we do a food meet lets make it at a restaurant. Dinners on me Phil

Marnz, that works. Hit me up.

Rafael Rivera Park, Las Vegas, Clark, Nevada 89101
Time
10:00 - Whenever
Grilling will start based on opinion, however 10:30 - 11:00 sounds like a good time to start.

As I posted a few weeks ago, I already have my car. It's been back for a couple of weeks (just needs tuning, no mile on the rebuild). I have been trying to get a meet together and not having much luck.

Jason was over at my office on Monday......Unless I misunderstood he still has his 8 and just purchased the Jag as a family car . One of them may have to go as his company gave him a company car also. He has already cussed the Jag for not cornering like the 8 and also busted axle seal.

Whenever if you want, I don't get off work til @ 9pm this week. So if you are going to the meet Saturday I can meet you there. I can come by and pick it up this weekend if you don't go to the meet.

Hell I getting my beauty sleep at 9pm (god knows I need it) so if you can come by my house on Saturday between 8am and 2pm I'll be working on my 8 in the garage.

I have reread the posts for the last week and don't see a meet scheduled for this weekend except for the vegas mazda thing. I don't think I'd make that one.

You're gonna need a lot more than a couple of hours there. That's okay 90 is the new 50. I kill me!

I will bring my 8 and my assistant and I will work on it there if that is okay with you nothing big. Maybe some plugs need to be changed out.

MAYBE!?!?!? lol. I was an Air Force mechanic, there ain't nothing I can't fix with a hammer and some duct tape. Don't worry, I'll be gentle...with the car.

Hey anyone got a set of plugs I can buy off them????

Odd. Last I talked to Jason he told me he was selling my 8 that weekend. But He's still one of the guys. I want to see the Jag. Bring the new monster out Jason!

I say we all meet up this Friday or sunday? will that work for everyone?
Sunday is going to be hard cuz I want to check out the Spring MTN track event so Friday will be better for a food meet.
Or we can all drive up to the Spring MTN event as a "group drive"

Damn Gil, your car is gonna be the fastest NA 8 in the LV Lounge. I need to compare my setup with someone else to see if I am that far behind. Preferably gil's or mike's since it seem like they have the most mods (NA).
