It looks very interesting.

Plus, Leggari is based in Kennewick (H1 knows where that is) so I'm sure cmee should be able to get an almost local discount...
Hey Ruxy, not sure what you have for countertops but if it's Formica, I redid mine last fall.

I had old worn out tan Formica back splash and tops. I put new Formica over the old stuff and tiled over the back splash. It really turned out pretty nice. The colors look much richer in person, the Formica really does look like marble, at least close enough for this baser.

Sheet of Formica was around $100 and the tile for the back splash was maybe $200.

Default Wood?

I think Ruxy traded in that boat for another one so he could go up the lake and back a little faster...looks like this...oh **** can't post a video but maybe I can find a pic...

$1.7 million so a GS'ers boat.

Way...... being a baser brother in the "Oasis" downstairs I can't say to much...but....didn't anyone tell you that the reflection of the sun off chrome wheels creates more Kinetic Energy and that makes you go faster than the black wheels. Also makes you look .... faster when standing still.....just saying.....if you ever look for a newer vette maybe it will help with your choice of wheels...At least maybe chrome edge on a slightly black wheel so we can see there is a wheel in there.... Now back to the woodwork.........

Hey RKJ, how fast didja go in the 1/2 mile?

How fast has Husker gone?

Has any Hammy patron run the 1 mile? If so how fast?

I'd like to try the mile or 2 mile eventually!

Hey hey....now that's my kinda boat....... I think that would pull 2 skiers at once......

hell whay.....those look plenty bright to me........ what's the prob.....?

Well I see they are wanting cars in for C6 of the year.........My car has won so many times they won't let me enter anymore....... How about Shao's GS now that it's shinning like a diamond and with those very cool wheels.....? Any other suggestions.......? Hammy's needs to have an entry....... Ruxy did us proud awhile back I recall...... free shots tonight Ruxy....... ( not penicillin shots, shots of Pappy's.......the original elixir.....)

Ok Ok.........let me think about this...... Rocketman.......you are saying you hit 150 in the halfer last year....... I'm not calling but I just ran a half and the 427's ran real strong but were more in the 145 mph range and the 650 C7 Z06's were struggling to get to 150.....as was the new ZR 1........ we did have a headwind......although I loooove your 427 I'm wondering if the distance was a bit longer then 1/2 mile? Just saying.......

My best with 400 hp to the ground has been 138 something........this year I was all over 135 mph.....had a 20 mph headwind....... H6 has run the mile in his GS that has some boost from a Procharger and he ran consistant 180 mph runs........very fast car........ Blade Silver also.......a no BS GS........

we went through this LAST summer after the event...……….. get yourself a longneck and try and jog your memory...………….

ran a 1/2 mile, but it was full speed for the 1/2 mile then shutdown after you crossed the 1/2 mile marker line...………………………. had another 1/2 - 1 mile to get it stopped...……..

have to look for slips, but ran almost as fast as C6ZR1, I was 4 mph slower, and very close to C7 Z06, we were within 1 or 2 mph...………. think the ZR1 went 156 or so, Z06 and I were in 152 or so range if I try and recall just from memory...……….

NO SHORT 1/2 mile here in Michigan, like they have out there in Cornville, where they mark off distances by telephone poles or the numbers of rows of corn...……….

that is what I remember the difference being in the 1/2 miles events from MI and NE...………

That sounds pretty good Mr. 427. You think it will do better with the top up...probably....

Everybody watching BJ?? See Ruxy/AKA Wayne C is doing a little color for them. Take a look see the resemblance....
It's on Velocity and he's doing a feature here and there.

Found this on posting. Didn't read all the thread below. Guess there are some changes, will try the You Tube as they suggest and see if it works.
Got to get out of the Oasis more often...

"As mentioned yesterday, the YouTube tool is not needed and hasn't been needed for a long time. You simply need to copy the URL (address) of the YouTube video and paste it into your reply" Guess they don't know that isn't working now as far as I can tell..

Ruxxy, why did you put a portrait of H1 for your footrest? Not that I don't think H1 needs to have his head stomped every now and then.
