ya, its right up the same street from serventi’s restaurant. ya, the s2k is coming along. The windsheild frame is done, door is done, new top is going back in it, and turdteg has the front bumper to finish. Hopefully i’ll be out a lot this season at solo2 and fundayz It used to be sarvers (towing?), plus there were 2 other businesses that ran out of the front offices, one was Pry’s. I believe hehas a new place now, supposedly he did real good here. Its been empty for a while though. ---

Yep, my buddy and I who wrench all the time on each others cars talked about buying that place when it went up for sale. Pretty funny. I wish you the best of luck. If you can wrench and get some name brand stuff in there you could have alot of business. I hang out with most of the serious import guys. I wish you the best, when your up and running I’ll have to stop in and say hello. ---

Thanks man… maybe one day i’ll be a “serious import guy” 😉 I did talk to your buddy with the white EK?.. he mentioned you and another kid… i forget his name, he used to have a white 4d EG. We originally had a little run going south on rt 8 and we were pretty even. If he didn’t miss 4th(i think) he would have been ahead by a nose!
