    Default New here: Thought it was time to join

    Just saying howdy. My name is Phil. My wife and I have a pretty bad car habit, so we figure we should join a local car-friendly forum as the start of our 12-step process (the last step is actually selling a car).

    Looking forward to seeing folks out and about, especially the first Cars & Coffee (can't wait 'til April).

    Thanks,

    Phil

    Hello Phil what are you all selling/buying?

    Well, the issue is we forget to sell... So, nothing on the block right now, but when we do go to sell, some of the cars (1973 2002) might be suited to this crowd while other cars (1996 Miata) might not be. However, we need to finish some other projects before we sell the cars that run right now.

    I think you might be surprised. Plenty of people on here with different tastes!

    Post up a car list and pictures if you can! Nice to have you.

    Believe it or not, there are a handful of Miata owners here.

    Welcome! Don't have a powder blue caddy by chance, do you?

    Phil, do you and your wife have a shop down in Hastings?

    JTapper,

    Nope, no Caddy. A buddy had a powder blue Rabbit Diesel during high school, that's about as close as I've gotten.

    Tim,

    Why, yes, we do. I was wondering how long it would be before we got pinged from our neighbors a few doors down. As you know, we're kinda all over the map with Miatas (stock and "otherwise"), an old VW (I've owned a VW of one sort or another since I was 16, mostly aircooled save a few Audis here and there), a smattering of BMWs and a few other projects. I think we've got more cars in the "running" column than not right now, so we've got that going for us.

    Come spring time, you'll see a couple of odd projects rolling out of the shop.

    Thanks for the welcome, everyone.

    Phil

    I was wondering how long it would be before you joined up. Haha.

    Glad you made it over.

    If you see a new white rabbit down there, or an old tan audi 90, that's me. Feel free to stop by.

    Didn't you have the E30 of many colors in your sig photo? Did you sell that? We've finally gotten our E30 swap nearly sorted. We picked up some Stahl headers for the M30B35 in it. Veronica is hoping that the headers and a new chip/AFM delete will wake the car up significantly.

    Okay...now I know who you are.

    Remember the guy in an E30 cabrio cruising through your hood and you shouted "nice vert" or something? That was me.

    I'm just up the street off of 145th on the Rosemount side.

    You've also met 95golf4dr on here. He picked up a getrag 260 from you last year.

    Yeah, that was mine. It had an S50 with a big turbo. I sold it a few months back to a guy in Pennsylvania.

    Cool to see you joined up. I'm another one of the guys in unit 5 (right?) with Tim. Haven't been there in months but I need to start going again. If I see you around I'll introduce myself.
