I think you're bias. All you are telling me is you didn't see the hella-flush Prius with carbon fiber and Lambo bumpers.

Drink some green Chartreuse for me! 110 proof, 150 herbs!

Hmmm... speaking of which, some top-shelf green Chartreuse would make an excellent judicial bribe at the New Orleans race.

Yeah, and about 2 million dollars worth of cars painted flat black. BTW, when in Vegas, don't miss the Double Down Saloon...beef jerky martinis served with a Twinkie! 5 bucks!...and if anybody knows the blonde with glasses and her hair up who came with the tall brunette on Thursday just after the first set....find me.

Thanks to you all for welcoming not one but two bald British guys at the Firkin!  Sorry about the lack of burn-out from the pub, I did that before and seemed to upset some people!  As for Beer for Judge Scott.......I thought it would have been too obvious - we'll save our bribes and 'tears' for New Orleans!!!

Thanks Mary for setting this up!

Is it because I is an E30 owner???

Yeah, I'm working from midnight until 8a tonight... but I'm working on the car from 7p-11p before that starts.  Every second counts.  Repeat after me: what could go wrong?

too late. he drove me there, so he already took it out on me. the "Judicial Bench" was clogged. he made me clear out the sewer system for his house. Scott is not getting softer with the years; he becomes higher proof.

you better pray you dont get any black flags at the race....

I was genuinely worried for you John when you said Judge Scott had made you attend to his sewer system!!!

No no, John is that kind of guy thus his TWO trophies in Houston.  Really he and I had not really known each other before that weekend but his spirit is what Lemons is all about and he offered :-)~

Re: Firkin and Phoenix Nov 6th - Drink Beer, Talk Lemons, Swap Stuff

I'm Johns biggest fan!  When we bumbled our way ignorantly into the Lemons idea.....we didn't even know about welding a cage into a car......a post up on the forum and it was JW to the rescue......(as well as other Houstonians who were ready to assist)!

So he basically spent about 2-3 weeks of evenings in our mates garage, burning himself, us and setting fire to the car, and even when he was running out of time for his own car, he didn't leave us in the crapper......he stuck at it and all of our team see John as a perfect Lemons role model.....always smiling, always willing to help and as a result.....any one of us are always ready to give John a helping hand......its the way it works!

At the MSR event he knew we would have been over at his paddock helping if he wanted...but he also knew we were having one or two hiccups of our own!

Actually.....and you may disagree here Scott.....but its a similar commeraderie that you get in the forces, people who are doing something that stretched them and their mates over a period of time that sees lots of ups and downs and demands a whole load of team work and bottle!  I love it!

Hip hip hoorah for JW! The best drain cleaner in North Houston (other drain cleaners available)
