    Hey guys when I was there acouple weeks ago with the XT, one of you said you wanted my motor. Well I picked up some 15" rims and tires for my Scooby wagon at Han's auto parts North of Elk River yesterday and he has a turbo XT motor sitting in his barn of motors. Also saw a couple XT6's, wagons and Legacys. He deals in forien cars only and is a very nice guy. Only problem is he doesn't let you wonder the yard. Didn't see much for you newer Scobby owners but there was lots I didnt get to see.

    Guys name is John and I left the number at home. Let me know if you cant find the number. It used to be in Osseo years ago I guess.

    Edited cause I found the number 763-441-0707.. Tell him the guy with the camo wagon told ya about him. He already thinks I'm nuts when I told him why I wanted the rims :mrgreen:

    A lake is a better option. Less chance for gov't authority and curbs to show up.

    Lake Jane in Oakdale is huge with thick ice. I don't see it melting anytime soon. The ice was not wet at all the two times I went last week.

    hell yeah..i am in for sure. i call not it for going on the lake first though. I'll try to remember to bring a video camera. maybe someone should go take a look at the lake while it is still light outside.

    I am 99% sure no one will fall through the ice at our spot on Lake Jane. I do not know of any live springs on Lake Jane that will prevent a thick layer of ice. When it's warm out, the ice on the shore will melt first making the lake a floating glacier. Lake Jane is one mile north of Carmike Cinemas in Oakdale.

    I guess I'll go first. The boat launch has a steep dip between the paved road and the lake. The first person should go around this dip to prevent getting their undercarraige from getting scratched up from the edge of the boat launch, or worse, get stuck.

    Fong, sounds like a plan... I'll see you at Firestone tonight.

    Justin, I stopped by your cube on 6th floor while I'm on my way down from 17th. One of the lady there told me you're out and only put in 2 hrs. a week. Hope to catch you next week if you're in. I'll see you tonight if you make it, if not... don't push it.

    Ma, I'll be out and about. Wife, what wife? Ma, I've met your wife, she's all talk, she won't killya. Unlike Kongzilla's wife... now that's one wife I don't want to mess with. You should have seen that day Kong got jacked up. Boy does my face hurt from the look of it. Kong just walked away and sat down, not a peep from him after the slap. He was silent for the rest of the day. Hehehe...

    Oh hell, I'm wayyy off topic here... this is all about the Official Firestone Lot. Let's meet up tonight, I won't get there until 9 or a little after.

    I'll probably be out tonight too... I don't trust the lakes though, too much warm weather lately. Anyone have a motorized auger to test the thickness? Might tag along and watch if that's cool :) As for the parking lot thing, we (read 'the club') really need to get standing permission to use a lot from a lot owner. Obviously this rules out any public schools and large businesses, but I just know there must be a business owner or two that would give a group like ours permission as long as we can prove we won't abuse the privelage and maybe give them some notice. Unfortuately I don't have any business contacts like this at the moment, but I figure if I throw this out there someone might think of something. Private property is key, I don't think the state can really regulate that stuff unless there's a noise violation or other obvious illegal stuff happening, but I reserve the right to be wrong :D
    Anyways, see you guys out there.

    Sad part it was after I was done doing donuts and corner drifts. The road was way more icy than the parking lot... lol. I had even just gotten another cup of coffee from the office. I didn't even bump the curb hard enough to spill my coffee.... that was the weird thing.

    good turnout! wtg bikerboy for snagging a twin :)
    masube81 - I think it was a bit after 9 that we left the lot, you must have just missed everyone :(...
    I ended up stepping off the ice for a bit and got lost on the side roads (stupid 'new' developments), but it was fun to let loose a little bit on the ice :cool:
    Grimm - sorry to hear... how fast were you going? maybe pm me if it's off topic, I'm curious about the damage.
