Important Anniversary !
Guys, Monday the 6th will be the second anniverasry of the Roadmaster madness. It was only two years ago that Jim posted his first mutterings about the possibility of fitting a big block Buick into a MG. [www.mgexperience.net]
We've come a long way in that short time, close to having a running car at the 09 V8 Meet. Thanks to everyone who has helped to make it possible, I'll lift a glass on Monday to the entire crew. See you in NC. Bill Young |

Re: Important Anniversary !
Does not seem like two years.
BTW...we need funding. I will accept checks written to BADASS or PayPal payments to mowog1@aol.com Please indicate on any PayPal payment that it is a BADASS donation. Any funds that I receive will be forwarded to Steve DeGroat, BADASS Exchequer. |

Re: Important Anniversary !
They keep about 3-1/2% on recent transactions that I've had with Pieces of Eight!. I would write a check to send to Steve from PayPal contributions...eliminating the double-dipping possibility for PayPal.
You have to look at it as an easy, trackable, safe method of accepting contributions (easier to click on PayPal and make a donation immediately rather than trying to remember to write and check AND mail it) I would rather have $96.50 out of $100.00 than "good intentions"....Plus, there is no possibility of a bounced check, etc. (Not that any of us would intentionally do that!) :) |

Re: Important Anniversary !
Hey Bill, today's the day!
It's as good as any I guess. Kinda hard to say exactly when it all started really. I don't know about you guys, but to me it feels more like 3 or 4 years! It's only been 2? Really? Amazing. Jim |

Re: Important Anniversary !
I know you were kicking it around before April 6, but I think it became official on this day two years ago.
"Date: April 6, 2007 11:02PM I think you have a great idea, Jim. I would love to see this concept car happen. To get the ball rolling, I have a spare T-5 to donate for this project." Happy Anniversary!! |
