Sounds excellent...

[Grand Marquis GT]

So it is written, so it shall come to happen.

[Chuck Norris]

So does that mean you're gonna be there Tom?

August 6th is my anniversary, so the timeing is perfect! My wife and I love to take a trip for our anniversay weekend. This should be about perfect. We also plan on hitting DC on the way up, touring some of the museums and whatnot. Sounds like a fun week!

[87vicFIVEO]

I will be there! 10000000%

I hope Tom and Laura make it this year.

[interceptor1985]

I cant go....gots stuff to do here.

[mrltd]

That's the week before my Bday, and I should be able to get all of that off... Yay...

[88Vic]

Damn, i'll be in the Rocky Mountains at that time. I really wanted to go too and i'll have a car by then. :(

[87vicFIVEO]

That's the week before my Bday, and I should be able to get all of that off... Yay...

I missed you by a few hours at SF07 Mike, hope to see you this year.

[phayzer5]

I should be able to make it, but the date is kinda in a grey area with my new job and everything. I gotta keep my streak alive tho!

cool I can show you around the city

as for me I should be there

[Grand Marquis GT]

At the present time, Laura and Myself will be there.

[Laura]

I'm thinking of starting a fund for my flights. Any donations?











J/K
It's gonna be about £500, the new job will help, and no buying stuff I don't need i.e clothes and junk.

[85crownHPP]

so we might get to meet the GMGT's mangette??? :heyhey:

[mrltd]

Hope that it's a good turnout, and hopefully I can be up there for the whole thing. And the wagon might be a tad more crazy if I can get a few more bucks and some time....

[Grand Marquis GT]

so we might get to meet the GMGT's mangette??? :heyhey:

Perhaps we can bring a nice british lass along for petemang?

[Nathan in MI]

Bring one for me, too! :D

[Laura]

All the british lasses I know are sex starved nymphos. Not sure you'd get along.

















:p

[Grand Marquis GT]

:owned:

[Pirate]

All the british lasses I know are sex starved nymphos. Not sure you'd get along.

Pardon?

[mrltd]

Sex starved nymphos you say?

I'll put my vacaction request in now...

[Laura]

:rofl:

[Lincolnmania]

bring 3 for us bachelors at skippyville

[Laura]

You can pay for their flights then

[FatNasty]

Put my vacation request in today, as long as nothing really bad happens i should be there.

[mrltd]

OK, but one needs to be Rachel Aldana....

lcglrOXxGww

[88Vic]

She must be having back problems with boobs that big. Needs to get a reduction, because that's too big for me (yeah, there's a point where I think boobs need to stop growing).

And i'm still really bummed out about missing Scottfest again not that anyone wants me there but i'd like to go.

[Grand Marquis GT]

I am afraid none of them have boobs THAT big.

-Laura

[85crownHPP]

Perhaps we can bring a nice british lass along for petemang?

yes!!! I should be no longer obliged to me lady by that time (shes moving elsewhere after graduation) so this lass would get to experience the full range of Petemang's special skills...!

[85MercPark]

yes!!! I should be no longer obliged to me lady by that time (shes moving elsewhere after graduation) so this lass would get to experience the full range of Petemang's special skills...!


Yea, if she needs her CFI adjusted or a few LEDs she's set

[88Vic]

:lol:

[85crownHPP]

I aint talking about those skills ;) :rofl:

[Laura]

So what skills are you talking about?

[85MercPark]

:twop:



:rofl:

[85crownHPP]

you know... song and dance... arts and crafts... dont forget my skills as a cunning linguist :D

[Grand Marquis GT]

cunnilingus? :rofl:

[85MercPark]

:rofl:

[Mercracer]

I am requesting vacation right now.

[Grand Marquis GT]

I am requesting vacation right now.

Also requesting some hot 460 parts in trade for a complete 351C-4V trade? :D

[Mercracer]

Cheese and 385 parts already on the list........ :beer:
I am back on 12 hour rotation so I will have plenty of days off during the week with the family at work and school to work on my cars and get the parts sorted out.....

[Grand Marquis GT]

:drool:

[Lincolnmania]

a block of cheese the size of a 335 series engine?

[91LTDProject]

I'll ask for the time off when I go back to work tuesday, I'll only have to ask for friday saturday off cause I allready get sunday mondays off. And If I dont get it down before then, I'll be comin with a 460 in my trunk for Tom, but first I need new rear springs/shocks/floor in trunk.

[Mercracer]

a block of cheese the size of a 335 series engine?

Bigger!!! :D

[boXman]

Well, hopefully I'll have a new job soon. So who knows what's goin on with me.

[87vicFIVEO]

Well, hopefully I'll have a new job soon. So who knows what's goin on with me.

Well you're too damn close not to be there at some point Jeremy.

[torquelover]

Mercracer, are you bringing out some cheese curds as well? I dunno about those yet, had them when I was up in Eau Claire last month. SF08 with horney girls, arousing accents, and cheese curds around... it's gonna be good.

[87vicFIVEO]

Russian accents


just putting it out there

[Lincolnmania]

and pennsylvania dutch accents

[87vicFIVEO]

never heard one of those, you should be able to arrange that scott..........

[Lincolnmania]

you heard me and skip and my mom and dad didnt you? i wish i could speak teh fluent pa dutch

[87vicFIVEO]

I guess I did, but I did not hear any seductive language in said accent, I don't think.

The guy at the Coal Mine tour definitely had a dutch accent now that I think about it.

as for skip

He's got his own dialect going on, like half PA dutch half cool old stoner guy.

Interesting dude he is.

[Lincolnmania]

skip is very interesting.....he's single girls watch out!

[Mercracer]

Mercracer, are you bringing out some cheese curds as well? .

I would have to grab some fresh on the day I head out. Curds are not the some once you refrigerate them too long. They have to stay moist and squeeky.......
I worked in a cheese factory for a while during high school... Now that was fresh!!!

[85crownHPP]

mmm cheese... is "american" cheese like taboo for a cheese person?

[Nathan in MI]

I'm bringing a twine ball for Scott!

[Grand Marquis GT]

SF08 is going to be the best evar!!

[Mercmarquis]

Does scottfest always have to coincide with the dates of football camp? Jeebsus... O wells

[Lincolnmania]

bah on the foosball

i can smell the cheese already......there will be no american cheese allowed at the festivities......american cheese is a communist plot against cheese

[Grand Marquis GT]

Unamerican cheese.

[85MercPark]

Sharp Provolone FTW!!!!!

[Nathan in MI]

I likes me some cheddar!

[Laura]

Id bring you some proper english chedder if i could get it through customs

[gabegt90]

yum American cheese on hamburgers

[85MercPark]

Bah, Sharp Cheddar burgers rule!!

[Laura]

Apple and mature chedder sandwiches rule

[85MercPark]

<scratches chin> Sounds interesting...


Is cheddar spelled with an "e" over there?

[Laura]

no its me not being able to spell lol

[Laura]

This is good cheddar.

http://www.cheddargorgecheeseco.co.uk/

[85MercPark]

My wife likes the really sharp stuff, stuff that makes your mouth ache and smells like dirty socks...

:ugha:

[Laura]

The really mature stuff? I prefer mild cheddar, or smoked cheddar

[Lincolnmania]

yum American cheese on hamburgers

NO

[Grand Marquis GT]

:drool:

[Laura]

I know YOU love them

[Nathan in MI]

I prefer my cheddar young and sophomoric.

[Lincolnmania]

a chedofile

[88Vic]

yum American cheese on hamburgers
I'm with ya on that, I love American on my burger, with crispy bacon and ranch dressing or mayo. :drool:

[Laura]

American bacon yuck

[gadget73]

American bacon yuck

If you get it from a butcher off the slab, its good. That pre-packaged crap in the freezer section is blech.


Oh, throwing this out there, would anyone be interested in having fried turkeys instead of the bean soup this year? I've got a turkey fryer, just need peanut oil and some birds to dunk.

[Laura]

I never even knew you could fry a whole turkey until I met Tom. Sounds interesting.

[Laura]

Anyone want any British food?

[85crownHPP]

sure!!!

I like Colby cheese

[88Vic]

I've never been out of the country or had imported bacon so I wouldn't know how good it is compared to ours.

[gadget73]

oh fried turkey is awesome. its not all greasy like most deep fried food is expected to be. its quite tasty, and definitely not greasy. cooks fast too.

[torquelover]

NO

What do you like on your burgers? I want to know because it seems that you have an enlightened tongue from some of your posts.

[88Vic]

i guess Scott has a sophisticated palette compared to the rest of us :D

[Lincolnmania]

swiss burgers.....cheddar burgers........provolone burgers.......farmers cheese burgers.......monterey jack burgers........how bout limberger cheese on ritz crackers?

[torquelover]

swiss burgers.....cheddar burgers........provolone burgers.......farmers cheese burgers.......monterey jack burgers........how bout limberger cheese on ritz crackers?

Never had the Limberger. The rest are tasty, but what's farmer's cheese?

I didn't think I would like bleu cheese on a heavily peppered burger, but it was good. Enough for me to go bleu cheese on salads after that.

Here's a stinker that's heavenly:

Gorgonzola Chips Bleu cheese cream, crumbled gorgonzola, on freshly made chips, served bubbling hot.

Had it on Valentine's Day at a Friend's restaurant.

[gadget73]

never had any idea how it was made, but its tasty. sort of like a mild provolone

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmer's_cheese




american cheese is kind of nasty, especially that individually wrapped garbage.

[Grand Marquis GT]

Thain, bring the turkey fryer!

I have been meaning to invest in one myself, and will make sure to spend 100 bucks on birds to get us all trough the weekend!

[Lincolnmania]

what no bean soup?

[Pirate]

oh fried turkey is awesome. its not all greasy like most deep fried food is expected to be. its quite tasty, and definitely not greasy. cooks fast too.

The only problem is that most of us are going to be passed out 30 minutes after we eat it.

[gadget73]

we can make bean soup too. actually we can make it in the turkey fryer pot ahead of time instead of hauling down the firebox and the cauldron. Or if someone has a big stock pot, we can just switch them out, whatever is easier. The fry pot's lid has been missing for a couple years now, so we'll have to use foil.

[Mercracer]

Contrary to popular belief, good American cheese is not "fake" cheese. It is real cheese. The problem is that some companies sell more processed cheese than others. There is actually a legal definition of American Cheese. That is why some is called "American Cheese Product" or "American Cheese Food". It doesn't met the legal definition. That is what Cheeze Whiz is...

[torquelover]

And, I found it strange that American Cheese is white in NY, RI, and MA. I had a hard time finding "The Cheese" on my last vacation in the Adirondacks. Since I know you Mangs like food, here's a pic of the grill at the cabin on our first night:

http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/600256/fullsize/dsc02131.jpg

There's chicken breast, smoked sausage, and chourico (another East thing) on the top and cajun tenderloins and burgers on the bottom. I think I gained 10 pounds that week.

Make Your Own Real American Cheese (http://digital.library.unt.edu/permalink/meta-dc-1501:1)

the crap I've been exposed to as american cheese is mostly that fake process junk, so perhaps thats why I'm biased. I dont really care for the deli american cheese either tho. Its edible on a burger, but definitely not my first choice. The vinyl cheese in the plastic wrappers is what I use to feed my dogs pills. I don't even like touching it, its got the texture of a used condom.


reading this how-to guide, it sounds basically like how farmer's cheese is made. If thats what american cheese is supposed to taste like, this crap I've been getting fed for years is a horribly poor substitute.

[Mercracer]

reading this how-to guide, it sounds basically like how farmer's cheese is made. If thats what american cheese is supposed to taste like, this crap I've been getting fed for years is a horribly poor substitute.

Commercial American cheese is different than that how-to guide. American cheese in the individual slices is the lower "quality" stuff. It is at a higher level of processed. Good American Cheese is in blocks. The best American Cheese pales in comparison to a good cheddar. Using the words Gourmet and American Cheese together is an oxymoron like military intelligence, government organization or female gunman...

[Laura]

sure!!!

I like Colby cheese

Never heard of that

[Mercracer]

Never heard of that

It is like a very mild cheddar.

[Lincolnmania]

i like dutch cheese too......smoked gouda mmm.

[Laura]

I liked smoked cheddar like Applewood.

[Mercracer]

Gouda...feta.....roquefort...bleu.....brie.....lim burger....knockalara..... it's all good.

[Lincolnmania]

Cheesefest!

[85MercPark]

Thain, bring the turkey fryer!

Remind me and I will bring mine.
I used it a while ago to do corn on the cob...

[Laura]

I wanna bring something but I can't find any rules anywhere about putting food in your baggage.

[85MercPark]

I really doubt you can.

Too many rules

[Laura]

I know but I want to see it in writing. When I went to the states in '05 we took chocolate and proper teabags to our friends.

[Grand Marquis GT]

Fried turkey for all!

[85MercPark]

Cool according to that I can bring cheese but I think here animal products are banned.

Yeah I just found that myself. That's who I'll be flying with so I thought I'd check them out. Thanks tho.

[Laura]

Well I managed to get flights down to about £400 now.

[Lincolnmania]

i'm gonna send you home with a carry on bag full of godiva chocolate

[gadget73]

Remind me and I will bring mine.
I used it a while ago to do corn on the cob...

i can bring mine, if you just want to bring the pot. Might work out better that way, one pot for frying, and one for bean soup. Mine is missing the lid anyway.

[85MercPark]

Turkey and beans, what a combination...

[boXman]

stinkfest?

[85MercPark]

Could get nasty...

I like my girls like my cheese, Preferably for me fat-free American singles only,

[P72Ford]

August 8th-11th... I may be able to go depending on my job. If I keep my current job, yes. If I get a new one, maybe yes with some exceptions. I'd have to roar down on a Friday night and be back for work on Monday.

Mapquest tells me that 35 N. Tremont Street is exactly 275 miles from my door. No too bad. Time: 4 hours and 45 minutes. I should be able to shave off that 45 minutes, because its basically all highway. 4 hours in nothing...

yuck. Only thing JD is useful for is cleaning the barrels they make Jameson in. The Jameson 18 does like 6 months or so in barrels from the JD and Jim Beam distilleries.

[87_crown_vic]

P72... you have to watch it around Scotts area. going thru Ohio was bad for me with cops all over. when i left Scott's place, there were cops hiding around bends of the HWY and behind stuff where you could only see their radar gun attached to the back door on side of the car. best to watch your speed since they hide and the hills will also heat the brakes when you try to slow down even harder from seeing a cop.

$65 Whiskey on discount.

Tell me that you have a bottle on your shelf and you drink it on a regular basis......


JD doesn't "clean" the barrels.... It conditions them...... That means that JD gives flavor to Jameson...... :2up:

I'm bringing my flying monkey beer...I doubt ANY of you have heard of it...it kicks MAJOR ass!

If you can get it here I will happily buy some chocolate off of you. I usually get my british cookies, teas, and chocolates from

But I don't really want to pay for all the shipping XD

I'll put some in my suitcase for you. If you want I can send a selection for you. Postage will probably be a lot cheaper than what that site charges.

[85MercPark]

I could use some quality Earl Grey

The stuff I get now is $48.00 a pound.


48.00 USD = 32.9679 EUR

[Laura]

Britain is the home of earl gray!

[85MercPark]

What's the good stuff run over there?

It's cheap.

You want Earl Grey? I'll get some in the mail for you, Ray :D

Thanks for the warning. I don't plan to be speeding like a damn fool though, maybe 75. That and a few short cuts should cut about 45 minutes off.

[Grand Marquis GT]

On the way to the first SF, I had the Talon hovering about 130mph on the PA turnpike.

That car never seemed to run out of top-end.

Tea.

Earl Grey.

Hot.



Mercracer: I actually dont drink much whiskey, but if I do, its not JD. I cant stomach the stuff. Tullamore Dew is usually what I drink if I'm going to drink whiskey. Don't care for crown royal either, in spite of how popular it is. I did recently have some Johnny Walker Blue, and that was damn tasty. Straight out of the bottle passed around a bonfire, pure high class.

I have them all downloaded, much are dvd rips, but some are tv rips. I actually have every episode of every ST seires up through Voyager. Never watched Enterprise.

[Grand Marquis GT]

Enough of this faggotry!

Back on topic.

[85crownHPP]

yes... no start treck at scottfest please...

I hope I get to do some racin' this year :2up:

[87_crown_vic]

racing is a must. should have lots of powerful Panthers at SF08.

i will watch ST:TNG i liked TNG and Voyager

+2

Ohio is crawling with cops. They are behind every sign, every tree, every blade of grass, just waiting to shoot you with radar guns. They will get you and eat you for lunch. They are also pretty vicious in Southern Indiana, if your travels take you that way. I always managed to avoid them in rural KY and TN, even at speeds upwards of 90 mph. Though I don't recommend it.

Scottfest is a pretty long trip for me. I think it clocked in at almost 9 hours. I realize other people will be coming from farther away, but still, pretty far for me these days. All those drives to and from NC while I was dating and then after we married to visit her folk, that kind of killed my desire to do long road trips. Still, at the moment, I believe I am a go for Scottfest.

[seneeb]

dammit, i was hoping for september GRRRR

[sxcpotatoes]

I might be able to make it.

Might.

Depends on my work schedule and if they'll let me take any personal days. What good are three weeks and three days of vacation if you can't ever use them (at least not in the summer)?

[Grand Marquis GT]

dammit, i was hoping for september GRRRR

We go and change the date so YOU can make it, and you still bitch and complain!

Jesus christ, dude!

[Pirate]

I did the mileage, finally.

2,800 miles, from my driveway, to Scott's.

One way.

If I drive out there, driving something getting 15 mpg, and if gas averages out to $3.20 a gallon....that's going to be around $1280 in fuel, round trip.

This was going to be a Geo Metro get-together, right?

Note, this isn't a complaint. This is simply some math being done. The other note is that if I drive out there, my wife has always wanted to see the Pennsylvania countryside (I think she is a closet Amish person). Oh, and she wants to bring the kids. Oh, and she wants to drive on to New York afterward. Oh, she also wants to go to the Met when we get there. I had planned on hiring hookers for the entire gang when I got there, but this definitely throws a monkey wrench into the whole works.

[P72Ford]

Ever been to NYC? If you're in PA, I think its worth going the extra distance (not that far in comparison), especially around the holidays. Just to see all the people and shit is crazy.

Well, if your whole gang is going, it'd definitely be cheaper to drive. How many kids do you have? Go rent a panther (or buy one) and drive that (if you can all fit comfortably with gear).

[86VickyLX]

Just don't bring the crazy sister-in-law and the spawns of Satan, that she calls her kids. :2down:

[Lincolnmania]

nyc isnt too terribly far away.....nice thing about skippyville is it is near the interstate.....when you are here there is so much to see within a 15 min-4 hr drive......better get the family truckster built......watch out for them strippin holes out here hehe........you can send for pa tourist info.....they will send you a map and a big packet of brochures....counties, sates all over the usa........my dad used to send for free tourist info.....big packs of brochures in the mail every day.........imo tho that is one hell of a family vacation doing it that way stopping along the way to see stuff instead of buzzing down the interstate at ludicrous speed pumped up on coffee and fruitcake....plan ypur route, see stuff along the interstate and get food, stretch out etc......might take you a couple days to get out here but hell you'll be relaxed and have taken in all the sights of all that neat stuff....you and the family going to fit in a metro?.

ok ok ok . i should be at 95% chance on going. the marauder.....eh, well, at this point, it doesnt look like the marauder is going to make it. i mean, after destroying the clutch-packs and the overdrive bands... not lookin to good. the new built tranny and the tq converter will cost $2300-$2500. not exactly in the budget yet. i do, however still have reverse. it wouldnt be that bad to drive from buffalo, ny in reverse no would it?
the Tank of Justice II will get the start for this event. i think itll be fun. plus my girlfriends parents live in Hamburg,PA; which is right down the road. i am looking forward to this.
Hey 87vicFIVEO, you still up for the convoy from buffalo?

I have a Marauder torque converter I'll give to you for free. Bonedriver (Tom) gave me his old one, but I don't have a use for it. I just took it out of his trunk to save him some weight. :biggrin: If you pay for shipping I can send it to you, or I'll bring it to SF08, if you plan on waiting until then to fix your car.

I went to Skippyville for the first time on Saturday, and I plan on going there again in August. I'll trailer up the Fairlane to go joy riding, so I'll be there to snap all your heads back like a Pez dispenser. :lol3: At 8mpg, I don't plan on driving it 3 hours. :biggrin: My F250 will get 14mpg towing, so it's the lesser of two evils. :rofl:

[SVT98t]

ill take it. ill wait til SF08. its gonna be a while before i can fix it. i do appreciate it.

[PatFromJersey]

Okay, I'll bring it up with me. :cool:

[SVT98t]
