Hmmmm...Was it Bob's gaurded optimism or my mock pride?

Maybe I'm just nudging him so he'll feel obligated

The call I'm referring to is when Bob called me back last week. He was in the middle of his fact finding and had....an air about him. Could be all in my head. In fact, probably was.

Don't ask me why but I'm still optimistic.

I'm going to do my best imitation of Patrick and say that Sisyhus had more luck than you or us.

Although it's just hope, our best bet may be Fran. But at this point I think we're just using up Brent's server space for no good reason.

Rodknock,

Are you saying my actions would even put Elpis to the test?

Keep hope alive! Keep hope alive!

What I'm saying is that you would have had higher probability of picking Kentucky, UConn, VCU and Butler for the Final Four, before the tournament started, than ultimately getting these magnesium wheels made.

This thread now has 30 pages of air.

I wish the NOS magnesium Cobra II wheel hoarders would come out of the woodwork and offer up a set or two already. I would already have a set, but not for the fact that some ERA owners decided to machine their mag wheels and ruin them for MOI'.

If you would just machine your hubs to match the ERA specs then you'd be all set.

Might as well change out the round tube frame for ERA's boxed version while I'm at it. In fact, adding a 2nd roll bar to give my car some symmetry sounds awesome too. And, and, and.......painting it beige. oooh yeah!

Knockers-Just think how light my wheels got from me polishing them all these years.
I can hear them appreciating now...

That sounds like a euphemism for something else.

Alright, another weekly update, another "nothing new" post by Rodney. Great. Let's move on. I think I'm going to pull my version of Jeffy and Fullchat289 and just buy some Trigos and have them powdercoated to look like magnesium. That way, I don't have to polish them and I can just tell folks that they're real and/or original, not replicas.
