    Welcome.
    If you have any questions, try looking at the "tech tips" from the MAIN PAGE, not just the ones on the left. If that doesn't help, ask away. We are always happy to give an opinion.

      Welcome aboard. Lots of great info and even greater people. Always try giving the search a try before posting, as there aren't a lot of questions that haven't already been asked. (especially tires and oil)

            Don't look at me for much info. Hence the Meathead status All I know is what I have seen and worked on. Anyway, enough about that. Do you have some photos? There is a photo thread.

              "I'm just an a$$"

              Seeing how everyone else has extended their hands in fellowship... I shall refuse to do so.

              (Yeah, but Diver Ray... he has two XS's... Where was he when he had only one, I ask you? Being snobbish and selfish, that's where. Now he has two... and is just being uppity, I say!
              Oh, alright... I'll behave. But don't think I won't be keeping my eye on him.)

              Welcome aboard, Horse Driver. Which models do you have? And where's the pictures?
              Pictures: Most of us cheapo's have signed onto a site called "Photobucket" which allows you to upload pics for free. Upload a few pics. Underneath the pics then are three image data thingies(I'm so techie) Highlight the bottom one, the one that starts with [IMG].
              Copy that one and bring it back here. You'll see in the field above your reply screen a box marked IMG. open it. I always get rid of the letters "http" that's in there. paste your thing from photobucket there. It will appear here in your reply.

              (See Diver Ray... I'm being nice for once.)

                              Desert 1,
                              Your glasses are so thick you can see into the future! (but you may need to check your spelling.
                              Wasn't a guy named "Whore-Driver" banned for being a spammer?
                              Now.. if I where a guy named Horse Driver and someone called me a "Hore-Driver" I would be offended... (unless it was true.)
