the board has been pretty depressing.

I know a some members of the club are not having any good news come thier way as of late.

I hope we can all start seeing some good things happening.

The British version. Though, I did really enjoy the American one too.

Well you can watch both even though they are very similar they are in fact entertaining in very different ways.

I'll probably watch the american one also.

Maybe not so wide to start. Not unless I get down to Suby specialists to have them roll my fenders first. 17X9 is smaller than what I wanted at first, but these will do for now.

Most common sizes are either 255 or 275/40s; we typically run 275 width on our 17x9s for the Mustangs.

I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me.

My happy new came to me today in an unorthodox racing box. My set of lightweight underdrive pulleys came in. Now time to install. I hear they're a bear to do.

bump!

Some sort of exciting news. I am back in California! The job that I had originally signed up for was not what was given to me in London and unfortunatley I needed to cut my losses and come back. So things didnt work out as I was hoping but it is nice to be back. Luckily I have been allowed to transfer back to sonoma and will continue to work for the same Hotel just in a different part of the sales department.

Please keep this on SECCS (noodles, deede, etc.) and dont bring it over to I-club as I was going to show up to the meet this saturday in sac and want to have a chance to explain myself in person and not over the interweb and figured I may not see the regular seccs crew down this weekend so I better post it up so nobody hears it second-hand.

Sweet man, welcome back then, Sorry you had to give up your car thru all that, but as long as you're in a good spot, everything else will fall into place...

So, when are you moving to Reno?

Again, glad you're back.

Seriously? Honesly, the TITAN is the best overall vehicle I've ever owned, If i wasn't a racer/ fast car person, the Titan would be all I'd need, it's fun to drive, quiet, and really comfortable.

I think Dave is joking, but if not, then way to go man...

Hey man! Welcome back... too bad that job didn't work out... I was planning on crashing your place for rally GB and banging your hot roommates.

You should certainly try to swing an STi now that you're staying stateside... they're still on eof the best bang for the buck cars these days... 'course if you've got basic transportating right now, you might want to wait for the '06 to come out, chances are there'll be some nice goodies on it!

Also, if you're thinking of moving to Reno at all, I'm hoping to buy a house sometime next year, and I'm sure I'll need roommates to afford it!

(And Soggy, pretty much all the SRIC peeps have access to the SECCS member forums, so moving it won't help,)
