Welcome to 2005, hope you enjoy your stay...

hi MM! This is Alison aka "peter's friend"
happy new year's
party it up!

hey MMers

i want to wish everyone a happy new year. becareful tonight, party hard (if thats your sorta thing) or spend it with a loved one. i hope all your 2004 resolutions came true and i wish you luck with your 2005 resolutions. one of my bigger resolutions will be to get a taste of some all new tracks. mid ohio, watkins glen and road atlanta, here i come. what are you gonna do this year?

There is an engine block in the UK that I'm very interested in... What is the process to get it to the US? Dave, did you get a TT Supra engine from Japan? Anyone else have experience on this?

I figure the guy would crate it up for me. It is just the bare 4cyl block, no pistons, nothing else. I'm guessing the block would be in the 200lb range (iron block).

Do I just call up UPS? Or is there a better way?

Thanks guys!

IÔÇÖm part of a new dealership opening in Harrisonburg on January 15th. Mid Atlantic Motorwerkes is located on East Market Street between I-81 and downtown. The dealership will be dealing strictly with pre-owned luxury/exotic European vehicles. Mid Atlantic Motorwerkes will specialize in the sale and service of vehicles from Audi, BMW, Ferrari, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Rover, and Volkswagen.

IÔÇÖm going to have an office inside at the dealership (I'm the internet sales manager), so feel free to stop by and say hello. We will have a 911 GT3RS on display inside, as well as our teamÔÇÖs 2002 BMW M3 racecar. Just try not to drool too much. W00t!

Paid MM members will receive some sort of discount at the dealership, but at this time that is still undecided.

This information is completely public, so feel free to discuss to your hearts content.

I've got a 1993 Mitsubishi 3000GT for sale (or rather the garage does). I figured someone on here might want it. It is emerald green with a black leather interior. It is a 3.0L V6 (non-turbo ) with a 5-speed. *157,000*(edit) miles, power everything. ItÔÇÖs a nice looking car for its age. It needs some minor body work on the driverÔÇÖs door and some paint on the tops. Nice project car for only $2500 OBO.

Are any of you current JMU students honors students? Or were any of you grad's honors students? My parents want me to do this subject-area honors thing, but Im not really sure what it entails work wise, besides the senior project, and im not really sure how much time/effort that entails either. So, can you guys tell me if its a waste, or if its really worth it?

edit: I actually turned down the honors program before coming here, but my parents seem determined to make me do it this time arround. So can one of you tell me how much extra Ill be doing? My roomate is a honors student, but all ive ever seen him do in regards to honors is sign up for classes earlier....

Eventually, I'd like to buy a trailer to haul the Z to/from track events - the reasoning being that I don't expect the car to be totally reliable all the time and it doesn't have much room at all for things like tools and luggage, especially with two people going to most events. Here are a few trailers I found on Ebay:

Anybody got any other suggestions or arguments for enclosed/open, etc... Anybody got a good line on a used trailer? Chad - are you gonna go this route soon?

As we close another year I look back and smile at how well the club is doing. Personally it was a fun but rough year. I got to go to a ton of new places, meet new people, make some money but Geeser I got stolen, Geeser II had a bad engine, and ultimately I didn't get to drive much. Next season is looking promising though and I may even do some special high profile events if the stars align.

Anyway post your MM Year in Review summary and pick your favorite three pics from the year (MM or motorsport related) and post em up. Try not to post the 5 MB pictures though.

Even though I was in the South Pacific you know I had to rep for the M's
