RE: Back From The Dark Side

[freescopesdad]

Greetings from Sacramento, CA...

I recently sold my MY07 S2000 and purchased last week a new 2012 MX-5 PRHT 6SM in liquid silver. No pictures yet, but the Dunlop Star Specs and black Enkei Fujins are already on, and the coilovers and sways will hopefully be here this week. And I have already discovered the wonders of Plastdip.

Being a board member of SAMOA I received a lot of grief (mostly good-natured) about the Honda. I previously owned a 1999 sunlight silver Miata which served me well on and off the track for nearly 8 years. I don't plan to track the new Miata, but I will drive it most days and weekends. Two great thing about NorCal - great roads and great weather. I'm looking forward to many years of enjoyment with the new car.

You seem to have a great forum here. There is a lot of activity for only being a year old, and I expect to find some new friends and some good information here. Cheers.

Hi Ron!

Welcome to the site!! Be sure to get SAMOA listed in the "Groups" section so that more people can find your local chapter, and make use of the NorCal regional section for your upcoming events to attract more members!!

http://mazdaroadster.net/group.php

We have a few of the other California clubs listed in there as well.

PS Go Navy!

Well I went to the groups page but I can't find any link to create a new group.

Look for the little red button at the top left of the page that says "Create Group"

http://mazdaroadster.net/group.php?do=create

[freescopesdad]

Nope not there. And when I click on your link above I get a message that I do not have permission to access the page (whatever that means). Not in my spam filter either.

[— Phatmiata —]

Hang on Ron let me see if we can resend the email to you again. I will send you a PM

[MazRoadAdmin]

New users can't create groups. Spam control.

Give it a little while (time and post count are in play), then you'll have access.

Welcome aboard Ron good to have you here

[Grumpy]

Welcome Ron! I almost welcomed you in the NC thread, by saying welcome to the dark side, we have cookies... then I read the title here... LOL!

Thank you for your service!

[freescopesdad]

You are most welcome Grumpy. Spent 7 years in, and 2 aboard CVN65. Good times.

Ah the 1st Nuke Carrier right?! Did you ever encounter any wormholes like the Nimitz did back in 1980, they could have changed history with those F14 Tomcats, and A6 Intruders!!!!!





I was on DD963, we only went halfway inside the Bermuda Triangle area and all the gauges started going nuts so we pulled out and got back on course, pretty cool and scary at the same time.

[freescopesdad]

I was discharged in April 1974, separated up in Bremerton, WA, where the Enterprise was the first carrier to get F14's.
