Thats good to hear, you beat me on getting her fired up. Ive been busy working on my camaro for the last 1 1/2 weeks but i hope to get back into the gp next weekend. After we both get them running good were going to have to meet up sometime and go blow the doors off some ricers.

 

[dirty joe]

Phone sound clips are no good, don't bother. At least mine sucks. I'll have to wait until someone gets in a digi cam. Bet it'll be a screamer.
