So guys, are we meeting you in Champaign or not? I need to call Scott within about the hour if we're to set up a rendezvous. If we're doing this I need to know when and where.

It's exciting to know that things are coming together for everyone.


I put new tires on my MG this afternoon. (They're Dunlop Direzza DII tires, size 205/50R15.) That was pretty much the last thing on this year's to-do list. Haven't started packing yet. Heading into Denver right now to take Lisa to "First Fridays".... I expect to leave Colorado tomorrow afternoon, but I'm not sure what time. My most likely stopping place is North Platte, Nebraska - which is almost exactly half way. (4 hours from Longmont. 4 hours from Omaha.) If I stop there, I'll stay at the America's Best Value Inn on 4th street downtown, across from the NAPA. I've stayed there a couple times before.

That is exactly the tire I was going to recommend for you. It is supposed to a great tire. Even better than the first gen Star Specs that I have.
