I had not heard any updates and was curiousl if the car was still on track for this week? Are you making the drive down for the weekend or is justin bringing it your way? Give some info man, Im dying to see this beautumus ride of yours

Aaron

He should know tomorrow. Pretty sure he is taking delivery at Gordon's or Buttercup. He doesn't seem nearly as excited as I thought he would be. There will be lots of pics next Monday for sure.

I really feel for him.

Hopefully his spirits will lift when he gets it!

Im sure that by now he is just in the sit and wait mode. He has had his hopes up soo many times only to have them dashed. Im sure when he sees it completed he will be like a kid at christmas

Aaron

or is that i will have my new fortin tranny and a full season before he gets the car painted!

Oh James, that isn't nice. You have to be nice to Ian, he has already been through too much for this car.

hell, if he drives it anything like James it will be worth every minute of the wait.


As for what James said..... Hmmmm Fortin

Yes, James is getting his Fortin over summer his wife must love him an awful lot. You should see the truck they are getting. And I am willing to bet cold hard cash that Ian does not drive like James.

would that be cause his mommie wont let him or is scwared!

nah, I will be too scared to scratch the paint I waited 9 months for.

9 months, that chit should be permanent!

Hey Ripster are you getting the CAT powered ford afterall??

You know, as I read through this thread, I'm strongly reminded of something The Wife said in another thread.











"I'll beat your ass myself, Rippy!!"

Ian, after all that, I'd put some sort of clear protective sticker over all that $h!t to make sure it doesn't get scratched.

James, your getting a new truck too.....Damn Sandra must really love ya, and I'm not sure why....

Chris, I am getting a clear vinyl over the paint and leading edges of the rail, there is no way in hell I would waste such an expensive paint job the first weekend in the dunes. from what I have been told the painters are pretty proud of the work and are taking extra time to make it perfect. but I will find out the dillio from the man tomorrow. but I am tired of holding my breath, it will come when it comes.

It will be here, and I want to see some great pics....

ok Ken, I will give you a pic of the side of the console, but this is just for you, dont let anyone else see.

Thanks Ian, everyone else close your eyes and skip this pic.... I will wait for the whole story to unfold, I know it will be a work of art...

oh and by the way, who ever the painter is, he does some awesome work

Yes he does, If you have seen Justin's snake car up close, he did that one, and his portfolio is amazing, as impatient as I am, I cant rush jobs like that.

Saw the paint today. Looks great. But I now know your secret Ian.

Dont ya just feel all warm and tingly inside now? knowing what no more than a handfull of people know about.

I just want to see you in the dunes driving it. That will make me feel a whole lot better.

Well I am going to call the man tomorrow and get the latest scoop, how many pieces were there when you saw it, last I heard the console and wing were at Revenge, that was last Wed.

Looking good Ian can't wait to see it in person

let me just say to all Ian is my bestes friend and i would do anything for him or his wife no matter how she continually wants to physically hurt me.besides im always lookin for a good time! and along with Ian i cant wait for him to get his car and be back to the normal dunin we usually do! is it next season yet!

James, I can honestly say from my heart that you and your family are special people, and even though we had our ups and downs in "that place" I am glad I quit because if I hadnt, I dont think our friendship would have grown like it did, and I am thankful for that.

And all you guys are TOPS!!!

Too late, you'd better run.

She's still gonna kick your ass.

I think I'm gonna cry................

dune brotherhood! at its best

Well just for that, let it be known throughout the land that I NO LONGER WISH TO KICK RIPSTERS ASS!!! We love you too!!!

good ,but now sandra wants my a$$ she wants me now to sell the blaster and the black enduro quad and buy nicole a new bike ,and i m having a hard time swallowing that after just buying her 2 difeerant bikes ,if she would show a little more enthusism in riding,i just dont see it,so i dont no what to do ,i guess the buy and sell has 2 more bikes coming

I thought you were just mainly getting the golf cart for Nicole???

what does she want you to buy? like a 250 honda automatic thing? those are good bikes, but I am thinking maybe have a heart to heart with Nicole and see what she wants to do, etc. granted the black thing wasnt what you expected, and I think if you got something she felt comfortable on she might ride more, so maybe suck it up, put off the golf cart, say bye bye to the raptor, blaster and black thing, buy a bike that fits her perfectly and save the rest for the next purchase. good luck with that.

James, Nicole is a good rider but I felt she was just really intimidated by the other girls. She seemed really excited to go out with Erica seeing as they are about the same skill level. I would say that she isnt afraid of the bike, rather she is intimidated by the riding partners. Tell Sandra that she needs one more season on the Blaster for a gear up and then see what she wants. I am pretty damn excited that her and Erica are about the same in skill as Erica was very comfortable when riding with her. So I think next season will be good for both of them. Erica may actually find 4th gear.

Aaron

Ian did you call today, did you find anything out???

I would definatley and strongly recommend that she does not go up in size at all, maybe even down to a 250 four stroke, its all about feeling comfortable, and your other 2 girls are really good riders for their age, I will take the time and take them on a slow baby dune put put if they want, its all good.

Ken, yup I called, and some things went haywire so I am not really excited about this weekend, but if anyone can pull it off, Justin can.

well I am not sure what to say.....everything has been said already, I will just be real happy for you when you do get the car.....and I get to see it

thanks, I appreciate all the kind words and support,

The rail will come, and when it does ride it like you stole it. Im sure that you will have many many wonderful memories with this car, however long the wait will be. Well thats all I have for this evening,

Good night all
Aaron

one other thing, you will have many stories to tell about your car....

My fingers are still crossed

well i agreed to sell the her bikes,and we are thinkinking aboat the honda 300ex so she will have the look like her ssiter and i will put a govener on it to control the speed, and Ian i will not sacrafice the golf cart and if i have to buy 2 thats what i will do,Robin she realy wants a bike and the reason she doesnt like the blaster is she has to kick start it and her sister have electric starts, but the other girls rode the blaster when they stated riding ,it boils down to spoiled rotten kids! and its startin to piss-me off!

that is a parents job is to spoil their kids and make them happy, after all, its only money and you cant take it with you. Hell last night I was looking at class A motorhomes.

Go get a MH Ian and Ripster I sold my son's blaster and bought him a 300ex and he likes it alot better

I must be spoiled also, I would not like to kick start anything either,,,In fact I never kick started any of my Harleys...

Cant get the Moho yet, have to pay of Robins Navi first.

Damn navigator!!!!

Hey, that's my car you are talking about. I happen to love it ya moofers!!!

Its my fault, I was the one that bought it for her as a suprise.
