The adventure is in the journey, not the destination.
Unless the destination is a strip club for a bachelor party. :)

Just sent a follow-up PM to Ralph, and asked him to please chime in and let us know his progress with 8.1 (Nikon). I know he has been recovering from an ailment, but it's been a month now since he told me he was preparing to take the last shot. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

The camera still managed to get snagged by the Highland spacetimewarp even after it arrived-not the first time I've had things get buried under a pile of other people's !"£$%%^% after they arrive here.........whoever's next on the list, please PM me with your address and it'll be on it's way out of here (cue X files theme)

Time to release the hounds (or sic the dogs, whatever you prefer) on Mr. Javins?
Ralph - please - if you are listening - give us an update on the camera (8.1 / Nikon).

Tim,
Mmmm, Sile was ok with us subbing Ralph for Lisa. You just want 8.1 never to return to home base... ;-)

I'm so excited... and I just can't hide it... I'm about to lose control and I think I like it.... :whistling:
Depends. I suggest Depends.
Anyhow... the camera 8.2 will soon be on its way to the penultimate shooter. Now let's get it done.

My first car was a 1967 Ford Galaxie convertible.
It had a 289 engine in it. That was one helluva 8 cylinder powerhouse.

Mine was 68 Fiat 124 Sport Coupe. 1348 cc of 4 power! But amazing in how it would handle the corn roads of central Illinois. Kick ass power sliding.
Now lets go ahead three years to my 66 Chevy van with a 327 sm block with camelback heads.... now that was pow...
Oh... wait, sorry.. wrong thread.

I had a '64 Galaxy 500 with a factory 401 and all the only factory options available at the time-- seat belts in the front seat and an AM radio. That lead sled would cruise at 100 all day without breaking a sweat. It was given to me by the original owner, a 70+ yo lady I did some carpentry work for. She kept a journal of everything ever done to the car from day one. I traded it for a Grand Wagoneer, a Datsun pick up and $1000 cash, in retrospect I got cheated.

Just sent a message via email to Mr. Javins. We'll see how it goes. If I don't hear from him by sometime in the morning, I'll give him a ring.

My first car was a 1969 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight with a Rocket 455 (7.5 L) with 365 horsepower. It had a 127 inch wheelbase and was nearly 20 feet long! I could (SHOULD) have put a darkroom in the trunk and still had room for the spare :)
Oh yeah, cameras, sorry... got distracted there by the side conversations :blink:

Yeah. Be careful.
