I spoke to Charlie yesterday morning while we driving back up from Florida, I couldn't believe it. Very, very sad, his absence from the forum will definitely be felt for quite some time.

 

 

I agree with Sam's comment as well.

It certainly is not an easy situation to go through. I still get flashbacks from time to time.

 

I drove the S this morning to work, the headliner seems to have made the car quieter.

 

I managed to get Das Mini into a controlled slide on the Northbound 94-Westbound Touhy exit ramp (accidentally... I think it was due to cold temps). It was pretty wild!

 

No repeats of recent activities, please. We'd like to keep all of our members (and their cars) in one piece, thanks.

 

"Controlled slide" may be a bit generous for what was more of an "ass-draggage". I intended to grip through the curve initially, but letting up off the throttle brought the tail out a bit more than I had anticipated, although it was easily controllable.

Your sentiments are understandable, though.

 

Two other things:

First, I stopped in to the Brickhouse on Touhy yesterday for an early dinner (4:30ish). Their talent seems to be consistently better than the one in Downer's Grove, so a meet in there will be coming through the pipelines in the semi-near future.

Secondly, who wants to donate to the "Let Garrison buy Phong/Jeggy's AP1 so he can run for a CO position" fund? I'll cover licensing and insurance.

 

No worries, I just don't want anyone else getting hurt. Accidents happen to the best of us, even when we are doing the right thing.

 

Scrapped an expensive part yesterday, have a migraine this morning. Yeah, I do not want to go into work today.
