Donny, I don't think you want me to get start on cars.

. I actually used to race them. I have 2 lifts at the present house. The car I am trying to revive is 1997 Ferrari Spyder that I have had forever. My wife has been nagging me about selling it.

I go through cars every 6-8 months. The Supercharged Corvette is gone so is the Porsche. Now I am into domestics with LS swap. You guys need to come to the house for a barbecue one day.

Here is a picture of the engine of my race car. This was 10 years ago. I won ton of races with it at Commerce.

Trinh you are a man of many surprises. Low riders, race cars and airguns. I bet you are a wife's nightmare when it comes to hobbies.

Oh you guys are killing me. Do you know how bad I want to do this?

Someone said "Low Rider"?

Actually my wife thinks I have ADD. She said I can't sit still.

Glen, I actually want to race that before I die.

Trinh, Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't like you anymore,lol! I bet that Honda was a hoot, as long as no gears were missed, since the "fun" zone was only about 1500-2000rpms! I love high rpm turbos, since most you see nowadays run out of breath much sooner. Actually, I love high rpm engines in general. Why do you not have a new Shelby GT350R? I would really like to get my hands on that thing. I've heard some on the track, and a V8 that big turning over 8,000 rpms is a sweet sound

However, the sweetest sound I've ever got to hear at the track was the 6.0L v12 DB9s and the v12 550 Maranellos hands down... I used to work on a Formula BMW team, but decided I was more suited to the 8-5 life. You basically have to be nuts to work on a race team for a living.

So you never told me the details on what's up with the Ferrari? That would be the 3.5L V8, right?

I'm all in for a bbq at Trinh's house.

Holy screwed up post. I meant to say that I think I just bought my gun. I barely used Cricket for $890.

The Crickets are multiplying around here! They are some very nice guns though. Hopefully, it'll go through, and you'll have a very nice new toy! Everyone is getting new guns, except for me lately. That's not fair, I'm voting for Bernie, because I heard he's going to give everyone a free gun, LOL!

I'm just trying to figure out what I need to do to get put in Trinh's will, but I'm up for a BBQ too though

ptreemover37 · « **Reply #290 on:** May 28, 2016, 11:14:46 AM »

Just talked to him and I am getting it with 3 extra mags and cheek piece too. I am in, boys.

Congrats Chad! Cricket is a great gun, I really like Trinh's. I love the compactness of bullpups. I guess this puts you in the air tank camp, right? Not sure I'd want to pump up to 4200 psi.

holy &^^& I have missed a lot, sorry the in-lows are in town and i have not had a lot of time for hobby stuff.

GD Giles · « **Reply #293 on:** May 28, 2016, 01:53:24 PM »

It's all good. JC is totally MIA. Hope he's ok.

Chad, what scope will you be getting? What's Brian got his eye on?

Jesse it's great. I stretched it out to 103 yards too. It's making me want a 25 cal version. . Did you mount the Vector Optics scope on it?

I'm glad you are having fun with it, I think you can change out the barrel and probe and make it a .25. I did mount the vector on it but I have only got to put about 500 pellets through the at44 so far so I'm still getting to know her.

jc1234 · « **Reply #295 on:** May 28, 2016, 03:42:05 PM »

Norman, I'm not going to be able to make it tomorrow or next Sunday but I hope to make it down for a shoot in June some time.
Trinh, A bbq sounds like fun, I just hope it is on a day I can come.
Chad, That is awesome! Check out the SWFA fixed power scopes, the glass is amazing and you can't beet the price.

Make me want a 25 cal in addition to the 22 cal

GD Giles · « **Reply #297 on:** May 28, 2016, 07:58:23 PM »

I will not be coming tomorrow either.

Rallyshark · « **Reply #298 on:** May 28, 2016, 09:59:24 PM »

I will be there, so Norman can watch me miss stuff

ptreemover37 · « **Reply #299 on:** May 28, 2016, 10:17:45 PM »

Brian is looking for a FX Wildcat and I was fairly open. Nice bullpup or brocock compatto. Saw the deal on AN and went for it. Now ordering tank, connector and scope. thanks jesse for the swfa link. Cant wait.
