Spent the last 3 hours ranting and raving with good old Banshee, the Cop with a Heart, tonight!!

I know a few other FGFers have spoken with him recently, but he gave me strict authorization to say hello to all members of this website and to pass along his best wishes.

Though the conversation was interupted by various heinous crimes (Cabbie stealing laptop? Guy from South america just wanting his due?) Banshee did his best to stay on target and give me a good update on his situation. It was indeed hilarious to hear what a cop goes through over 2-3 hours of his day. Cracked me up to hear it all.

Tried to talk him into a 4-500 dollar Dell or HP to get him back up and running (can't a cop get a good deal?), but worst case is a couple of us computer builders get together and put one together for him so he can get back up and running. He's sending me his HD to recover that data.

SWEDE! - VERY important point he wanted to make: He got your Carb back from the rebuild and was not happy with the workmanship - he is now spending his own cash to ensure you get what he promised you! He did not want you to think he had forgotten. He's working it hard and should have your parts in the mail very soon!

He's doing a US tour in March to friends and family and will visit our home here in Nashville for a few days, so we need to get our KY and TN FGFers together for a night or two of car work, food and beer. I will gladly host this event if any of you are available!
