post the rest of the weekend already... I can't wait to see the rest of the pics you guys took. And on the same note, I really need to get my own digital camera, the pics I took with the miniDV came out crappy, they almost look black and white, hope the vid I did is alot better.

Default Day 3 complete: My long h2O weekend (very long post)

And finally on day 3, we headed back for the 600mi hike to the arctic north,





everything was going great, we had about 10cars cruising to the philly area then up the turnpike, dropped off the girl, then stopped at my house for food...My dad liked the oral sex that was taped on to my friends car


We also had stuff taped on the other cars that created some humorous reactions.

We got back on the turnpike and after a few high speed runs, my brakes were trashed, vibrating like hell, and at low speeds I could here them rubbing, so they got warped really bad. We continued on, slaloming through the construction cones at 50mph and creating all sorts of other trouble..we made a "show your ****" sign which some girls liked and some girls didnt so like so much...got a phone number which i will be posting in the video[8D]


We continued to binghampton and at about Scranton I realized I had a problem, finally I looked to see what it was and my turbo to manifold gasket has broken in half leaking exhaust really bad. I could harldy build boost and we had to drive the rest of the way with the windows open..the fumes were hurrendous


Finally we got to watertown and came across a little ricer gtg so of course we pulled in...the sign worked that time. We displayed some real cars, and I scred some kids with the launch control...almost lit some kids leg on fire with a fireball. I also found this hitchhiker in my intercooler

Finally we made it home.. I ordered a new manifold turbo gasket, a new oil feed fitting, and new brakes all around, a8/tt combo up front.

He was indeed.... haha, or was the last time I asked him.

You sure the A8 kit will be enough to make you happy? I thought you had your eye on some porsche brakes...

I guess the price difference is rather large

And selling the A8 caliper adapter things would be easy as pie, if you ever do go porsche or some other BBK.
