I was in contact with 2100 tonight. All is well, but he's still trying to get situated and still doing the house hunting chore. He said he'd be back once he gets situated a bit better and has a little more time.

Just thought I pass on the info.

A friend of mine is friends with the seller of that car. The seller sold it on the interwebs... and that top pic is one he took as it was driving away. Seller did not arrange shipping, the buyer did. When I shipped my Toyota, I made damn sure it was a big rig pulling it. I don't like these miniature trucks doing a big trucks work.

EDIT: Oops... I only read the bottom paragraph, LOL. Didn't realize that info was above. I apologize.

White, he can't start that engine without uploading the tune first. Probably why AK asked if he's trying to run it without lol. You can't, he'll either blow the exhaust sky high or hydro-lock the engine , whichever comes first....surprised he hasn't yet lol. But yea, that's just too ignorant. Might want to tell him that...if you want.

How did your friend's friend take the news? Me, even not owning it anymore I'd be hurting.

His post, when I read it, basically said the same thing as the article. I'll have to try and find it again and see if he posted any emotions.

Just talked to my cousin who is a really good guitarist.... I am going to have him make me an opening song to start my videos. I told him something in the department of the "opening of Maiden's Aces High" would be sweet.

I'm not too sure what the hell is up with Frankie. I'm thinking there must be a vacuum leak somewhere's, or it doesn't like the MAF that I used. It's COLD blooded. Seems to run even kilter after it's warmed up though. I used a MAF for a 3.8 Thunderbird, which is a known compatible MAF for the EEC-IV's. Maybe I'll dig out my spare Ford MAF and give it a shot.

EDIT: Oh, and by the way.... XP Mode is not supposed to run on Windows 10... I got her to work!
