It's called "single income household" Snapperhead. Credit cards are maxxed, line of credit is gone and bank acounts are empty. If I don't worry about it now, I'll end up dead a lot sooner than I'd like. Speaking of which, any openings at the country club yet?

Post by: Matt on August 30, 2004, 08:05:05 AM: So how was it? worth missing?
Title: Euro Expo 2004 In Everett Aug 29
Post by: Hoosier Daddy on August 30, 2004, 08:14:41 AM: I thought it was okay for their first one. (Small swap) Had some pretty nice cars there. My fav was the all original 73 Square with delivery sticker still attached.
The mobile dyno was killer! :rockon:

Post by: Chris on August 30, 2004, 08:15:21 AM: it was good for there first show, I have some pics and will probably post them tonight.
Title: Euro Expo 2004 In Everett Aug 29
Post by: Hoosier Daddy on August 30, 2004, 10:31:06 AM: The bug with the T4 that got off 170 HP on the dyno was also cool!
Title: Euro Expo 2004 In Everett Aug 29
Post by: reefreshd_jive on August 30, 2004, 08:22:19 PM: i agree it was good for a first show. cant wait for next year.
it turned that entering the show was worth it. i entered purely for the "lowest non-adjustable" car, and i won. i was sitting at an 1 3/4", the guy that was closest to me was at 2 1/2. i will need to do some repairs on my beam now though...and i also won 3rd on the "semi-custom bug from 1968-79". but it also helps that there was only 3 cars in my class...the only thing that sucked was being stopped going back into Canada, and having my car searched! where the hell can you hide anything on a beetle anyways?
so all in all it was a pretty good day!

Post by: Sparkmaster1 on August 31, 2004, 05:55:57 AM: Yeah it wasn't bad for a first time. The swap was small. It was good for me though since I was one of only 4 sellers I didn't have much competition. I made enough to put my car on the dyno though. Rear wheel HP 125 with 133.5 ftlbs of torque. Weather even turned out great. Tim
