I'm pretty much in agreement with Jon and Norah's points... not to sound
like a DML elitist, but it is a DML meet. Having said that I would not
object to 2 or 3 or so attending. I can't be a hypocrite, as I
mentioned the DML meet to a friend of mine who lives not too far from
Walt, who owns a Nissan - heh. Haven't heard back from 'em for a while
so I don't know if they will make it or not.
"incompatible... throttle jockey mud hogs" ???!!!
You rock crawling snob :-P hehehe I got yer throttle jockey right here!
