Hey Mark,
Any one who welds an alt pulley on, has probably sinned enough. The entry age has been lowered to 40. Your no nonsense style is what we are looking for. You are welcome to follow the link above & join us.

4. You must always give your old, crotchety, grumpy opinion no matter the topic.

5. You must try your best to make a newbie feel like an idiot(just helping of course)

6. Never utter the letters WVO..........EVER!
In a desperate effort to get an infraction so I can join the club: Lets talk about a new topic, putting a Vespa motor into a Unimog. Hey Mr. Moderator, I think you inject R134 into the turbo on your DT300 so the WVO will get you 50 mpg. If you newbies don't know how this works you are idiots. That is my grumpy opinion.

BTW, if I make it, I think this should be our emblem:

alamostation,
You used the "i" word !!
It is specifically mentioned in "The Rules".
That got me a slap on the wrist earlier this year !!
I guess that gets you in.
If you go back to the previous page, Jimmy has put up a link so you can join.

Thanks, man! This is a life-long achievement. One of my New Year's resolutions last year was to become a little trashier, care a lot less, and become slightly more grumpy than last year. My wife has indicated that this is the first time I have made good on a resolution. Previous ones involved losing weight and getting more sleep at night.

Y'all are great, really!

SWMBO said she'd like it and I figured to give my son the beige Euro 300TD.....

Ah ,well .

I was concerned as you've been ever so helpful in my various searches for this 'n that......

Hey Chad & Nate,
How about continuing your discussions by PM
Sounds like there is a misunderstanding there some where. No need to include every one here in the resolution.
Thanks
