Joined this madhouse 16 May 2004. Was one of the first tiny group after the demise of another forum. 0.68% of all posts are mine. I have learned so much and met so many wonderful people through this forum. The gatherings that have come out of it have been great. I built my first two tears haveing never seen one live. Now after five of them I almost know how to do it. To those who now own the four that I have sold I hope you are haveing fun with them. Soon I will start a rebuild (Wider} on our favorite Army Themed Tear. To the Carolina Crew I am thankful for the friendship and wonderful times we have had and you all know who you are. For all the others I have met I hope to get to know you better. If you are a dreamer, a builder or an owner; GO TO A GATHERING and meet the friendliest folks in the country. To Mike the biggest thanks of all for making it happen.
