Has anyone been to Redbull Global Rally Cross up at Dirtfish when it comes around? I remember going a few years ago and it was so awesome.

Anyway, they're coming to Seattle to a race August 30th, they havn't announced a track yet but i'm really hoping it's Dirtfish again.

I went last year. It was pretty good. Watched it from a paddock side. Not only could you see all the cars, you didn't have to listen to the shitty announcers.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good, quality exhaust shop in the Portland area? I'm talking mandrel bends, SS material, etc.

I'm curious to see what you find out. I know Brent Kemi can build a nice mandrel exhaust, but it's difficult to get him to agree to build it. Plus he apparently hates E30's

I wouldn't really go that far...he's just very particular on what jobs he takes as of late.

Haha he's told me a few times that he doesn't like E30's

Anybody have a hankerin' to brew some beer at Gallagher's in Edmonds? I'm thinking of brewing some down there ... I did it 18+ years ago for my wedding and haven't been back since. Thought it might be fun to get a group together for a Saturday brew fest?

I only have enough free time to drink beer

So we have a beer connoisseur, and a beer connoisseumer. right arm!

You know that you want to Kris ... you do know they have a tasting room ... and I don't consider myself a beer snob. At my age I want to enjoy my consumption. I drank enough animal beer in my 20's.

To level with you, I refuse to drink light beers, or pretty much anything that is considered a cheaper beer, they just don't have the flavor im looking for.. blue moon is about as light as it gets..That being said I'd be down for that kind of shindig, a nice piney crisp IPA sounds good.

Putting together an estimate for an Audi Allroad with 4.2L V8.

Heads are off and at the machine shop, car has been consuming oil for quite a while now, customer is now deciding to tackle it.

New engine from University Audi/VAG - just over 13,000. Fucking nuts!!

Yeah.. I don't think i'll ever buy an Audi, or anything newer for that matter!

[kid325e]

Always down to drink some craft beers with the E30 guys. Keeping my eyes peeled! Also, we should brew a beer together Kevin. There's a homebrew spot right off Bothell Way!

[the imitator]

Phew thats a drive, not unless I stay a night up there and do some crabbin the next day haha, IM coming up between the 31st and the 7th just for a family visit, so chances are I'm probably a no go anyways.

Why would you buy a brand new 4.2 from Audi for a 10 year old all road?
