Don't forget what the Aussies did to you with a Sharpie at Vintage! If anyone asks me to park the car in Harvard yard I'm holding YOU responsible.

Is there a caravan from the Phoenix area planned?
I think I will be in the area Thursday evening around 6pm or so. I will probably find a cheap place to stay (unless someone has a floor on which I could crash) and then head out for the final leg Friday morning. Or if you guys are planning on heading out Thursday evening, I could time my arrival that way as well.
Just trying to pin down some logistics.

Oh, and is there some plan for golf? Let me know, and I will throw the clubs in the trunk. Otherwise, I will preserve the space for the euro parts.

Will a valance fit over the passenger seat to the back seat?

I was planning to start an O'Fishel golf outing thread but hadn't gotten around to it. You can only reserve tee times two weeks in advance, but I guess this means I'd better get busy. I say bring the clubs, I'm planning to play.

I just picked up a valance the other day and found that reclining the passenger seat and belting it in there works well.

Sounds good on both accounts ahab. I will bring the clubs, so count me in and I will be sure to make it for whatever tee time. I guess that will ultimately determine my arrival time.

and thanks for the experienced info on the valance transport.

Ahab,
I'm not sure if I'll have enough space in my trunk for your clubs.

All the attendee shirts are bagged and tagged. Everyone traveling over 1000 kilometers gets a bonus San Diego Chapter sticker.

The shirts will be next to the beer cooler on Friday, in my trunk on Saturday morning and Darin's porch on Saturday afternoon.

Jay, (aka ElGuappo)

Maybe during the St. Paddy's Day Fest, you can show off the A/D/S component speakers you stole from me. Ironically, it was this time last year when I first tried to get you to send them back. Your response on 3/13/15:

"Hey Rowley. Please excuse the auto corrects as I am in San Diego for St. Paddys day and I am drunk. Good news is I received the speakers. Bad news is there is now way the tweeters will fit in the stock tweeter housing with major fabrication. Soooooo. I’ll look into the issue more when I get home next week. :-)"

For over a year you made excuse after excuse, repeated forgetfulness, your bad back, too busy, etc., for not sending back my tweeter pods, A/D/S drivers and tweeters. You should either redeem yourself and send my stuff back or be recognized as the common thief you are. Might help your conscience too!

Ahhh hahhahaha. He also bought some Paddy's Day tee-shirts and was handing out cheap cigars bought with your money.

I'll wait to hear Jay's side of it but whatever the facts may be, I wish you hadn't picked this thread to air your grievances. :roll:

I apologize and am sorry to ruin your fun. If people were more honest and less stupid, like me for trusting Jay, there would be no need to call them out.

I'll certainly take my issues to the For Sale/Wanted -Parts section, under T_C_Ds Buyers/Sellers feedback thread. St Paddy's Day in San Diego sounds like a fun tradition you've established.

^ ^ If I offer you a free St.Paddy's day t-shirt and someone to put ElGuAppo in a headlock, will you smile again? C'mon. You know you want it!

You're right. Nothing's going to interfere with enjoying my e28!

I would really smile, though, if Jay proved me wrong and sent my speakers/stuff back. Otherwise, I have a nice, unused pair of A/D/S crossovers for sale.
