4-Timer — Thu, 17 May 2012 17:30:41 GMT

I'm not sure about these electronic sound generators now being used to provide "engine sound" in these quiet interiors.....

Johnny B's May 26th Volunteer List

Bowtie Killer — Mon, 14 May 2012 20:40:25 GMT

The first 5 members to sign up and show up will get $10 for gas at the next meeting, the truck driver gets 30. They will need to turn in a gas receipt from around the date of the cruise.

Also, let's try to spread the word about this. If you have a club, a website, or anything else you can think of, let them know to come on out. The more peeps we tell, the more that will come.

Still not too late to tell anyone you know about this.

Volunteers or questions just post up here. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Jim, for putting a link for the postcard together for us. The link is below, so if anyone wants to post this on any sites you visit that would be great! Also, is anyone going to any shows the next few weeks? if so let me know and I'll meet you with some post cards to drop.

Rain or Shine, the show must go on...

Boosted32V — Fri, 11 May 2012 18:45:01 GMT

In my lifetime I have learned one thing, weathercasters are fibbers! It has not rained in my area except for a little while this morning. I am guessing that it will be nice tomorrow, so the show must go on. We have trophys, we have been payed, we must SHOW...:cool:

I will be there in the BAD-SVT, im installing the wipers as we speak, remember, most of our cars are meant to be driven in the rain. :laugh:

Bankston Car Show this Saturday & Club Meeting...

Boosted32V — Wed, 09 May 2012 18:50:10 GMT

We will be having a short Board Meeting and a short Club Meeting during voting. Lunch will be provided for Club members. I would also like to encourage all members to park their cars in the car show area and not in the back. We need as much participation as possible, the last two carshows there were very small. I'd like to remind all of our Members that Bankston is responsible for over half of our yearly revenue, so lets have a great showing to show our appreciation.

Need a spare

JimJr — Mon, 07 May 2012 19:18:47 GMT

Long story short, I need one full size spare wheel/tire. Any 99-04 17" wheel will work, preferably with a tire, and in any condition will work. Looking to spend little-to-nothing since I don't ever plan on using it. Thanks!

Browsing Craigslist...

Hitman — Sat, 05 May 2012 23:07:03 GMT

Found this. Pretty nice, but I don't really believe the story about it being in his family considering all he doesn't know about it. Also, based on the photos, if that's the original paint I'll eat that hood.

Dallas Performance

4-Timer — Fri, 04 May 2012 02:36:05 GMT

Since Taylor helped us make that record number of 17 cars at the NTMC show last fall and went to hang with us at Laps for Charity afterwards, I thought you'd like to see his personal build performance..... and Coop, this is now his built Lambo engine, not the 750hp one we saw last fall... and he builds bigger ones for customers who want that little "extra"....
