Yeah, we missed you Greg. It was good. Hopefully the next time though buddy. Glad GenoTex and Eleanor got home safely after robbing the Casino. LOL! I think everybody had a really nice time. I did, and it was just great to see everybody again.

My dad said he saw an SSB coupe with the license plate "KSU CAT" today at Pairings in Hopkins. Anybody on here?

not know either of these Alex. I'm still driving mine yet, but that's starting to come to a close. yesterday in the snow in Lakeville I was having real problems with traction. I guess the OEM's are worn down enough at 26K that their not gripping the snow anymore. Next season will be new shoes for the baby.

Mark,

I just had a set of Yokohama Advan S.4's installed and love them. The P2' didn't wear well at all.

I figure I should be able to get at least another winter or two out of my Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires. I'm bummed at how slow it feels with a 140 lbs of sandbags in the back now though.

I'll look at those Bruce. Sizing? My plan was the Conti DWS's. What think says you? But no, no PS2's for me.

I'm fortunate Alex. A 2001 Tribute for the winter. The Cross will be on the pad under the cover and a tarp. Probably start it around Christmas after I out it to sleep around Thanksgiving. Oil change this Friday. Have them look at the pads, ready for ceramics if needed. That brake dust is killing me on the new yellow calipers.

BTW, talk about new seats. My new color scheme is going to be tan leather seats the A pillar painted tan and a new headliner in tan. With the white exterior and the black trim I thinking uber-class. Not just tan, but more taupe

My profile pic was taken outside my condo in St Louis Park. I lived in Mpls 50 years then moved to Houston 1 1/2 years ago. It was not a mistake. My XF was in storage from Nov-March. I tried driving it once in January and it got stuck in 2in of snow.


On the flip-side...


It's going to be mid 70's this weekend. Perfect top-down weather. Maybe go check out the surf on Galveston Island.

I'm in Hugo, so if you see a red Roadster running up 35E or down Hwy 61, flash your lights!

Is your Crossfire the red or the black one?

Hey guys. Greg (GDC) called me me yesterday, and we were talking about getting together for breakfast and/or coffee within a couple of weeks, Saturday morning thing and maybe around Woodbury this time. We thought we'd put this out to see if anyone else would like to meet since it's been a long time since we've seen each other. y'all can email me at mdaniels4@frontiernet.net if you'd like and that'll let us know who can make it. Then we can set a date and time and place, and I can email everybody back.

There's this place in Rosemount that is called Suzy's Kitchen that I've heard very good things about, but that's just merely a suggestion. We could also make it central in or near St. Paul this time so if anybody has a suggestion feel free to chime in.

Thanks and hope to see you guys soon. Mark
