I'm back in school but I still find time to check in here and at midnightruns. I also post at corvetteforum. But that's about it. I haven't even seen my GTA in about a month.

never a dull moment

I am either intensely cerebral or pretty DULL ? I never get bored during winter, just head to the garage after the kids are in bed and continue the detailing job on the engine bay (or whatever else I happen to be doing to the car).

Sofar I think I have used two bottles of Mothers Carnauba wax. My last detailing project was was the left door and door jam. Pretty hard to get some of those places cleaned up and waxed. Of course my wife thinks I am nuts but she does love to go for drives in the Firebird during those warm summer nights...

How about this -- I detail my car for medical reasons. It DE-stresses me spending numerous quiet hours in the garage doing mindless work (I work with computers during the day) to my car.

have a nice snowy day,
RP.

I just finished 2 years at Algonquin. I now attend the University of Guelph(lol). It's actually Kemptville College but I like to say U of G (which technically it is). I'm in an Industrial Fab and Welding course. Are you in school?


Oh, and Palric..........your car is gorgeous

I am in college as well here in the Niagara Region at Niagara College for Mechanical Engineering Technology. I am in my fourth year, should be my last, but I have to catch up a few classes.

I would like to know when this meeting is.... Anyone interested in meeting up at Speedorama intoronto on Saturday January 26th? Myself and maybe a couple guys from the local f-body club may be going... it'd be fun to shoot the sh|t with some fellow f-body guys.

if anyone is interested, e-mail me at nblanchard@cogeco.ca

Or.... if anyone is interested in more info on the Niagara F-Body club, e-mail at niagara-fbody@cogeco.ca

Later all

whipper snappers...

Judging by the under-grad status of you-all I am definitely in line for the oldest guy on the site award. I am a BCIT (British Columbia Institute of Technology) grad from 1987. That makes me of greater vintage than most of our vehicles (ha,ha).

It is great to see so many of you guys are carrying on with your education (do I sound like dad ?). Take care of business first (education) I say, when you are done you will be able to play with your toys (cars, cars, and more cars) to your heart's content.

have a nice day,
RP.

Yup. I think it was about 30+ celcius that day which is why the windows are up (the A/C was blowin hard).

I finished Electro/Mechanical Engineering Tech at Algonquin last year. It was a bitch, but i'm an idiot, which probably didn't help.

Sorry Palric but I think I qualify as the oldest dude on the board.

Graduated St Clair College 1979 (Tool and Die/Mould Maker)
Certificate of Business Administration (U of Windsor 1994)
Currently in 3rd Year of BLAPS at U of Windsor (Part Time Night Classes)

Nothing like going out to the garage and doing a little work on one of the Camaro's to relax and forget about school and work.

Haven't been posting for a while because of too much homework! Current course is Italian and I HATE IT almost more than winter.

Arrivederci
