I guess when you look at a world wide forum ,,then 300 miles is still in my neck of the woods ,. I was thinking that spiderrider and I being 50 miles apart ,give or take a mile or two was my neck of the woods.. My mistake .. Sorry .
Don't want to give the impression that he is all alone do I .. LOL Ld

You mean there are two points in Oregon that are 300 miles apart? :shock:
I have to drive 700 miles north just to get out of California into Oregon!
Seriously, I guess I was confused about what part of your beautiful state you do live in.

Ron ,we may have to agree to disagree ,,with no hard feelings of course ..LOL I will try and explain it better what I meant about "in my neck of the woods" ..
I was referring to Spiderrider and I liveing 50 miles apart and how He is the only one that I know that lives in what I call "my neck of the woods"
The good folks you talked about down in Medford is close to 300 miles from me so to say they are in my neck of the woods is just a tad to far me to call it that..
Thats the whole thought I was saying ,,hope this clarifies what I was meaning .. and if I ever get to one of those get-to-geathers I would for sure be proud to shake your hand a tell you that It's a pleasure to know you ..
Doctors appointment today so will stop in later ,,,,,,,,,,,LD

No disagreement at all LD, I totally understood what you meant. It is true, 300 miles is a bit far to be considered in your neck of the wood. You're fortunate to have someone within 50 miles of you, when I run over to see Alvon it's a 100 mile drive. (It's worth it though, they always feed me.) I go about 80 miles to visit Mark. I don't go there as often though, he doesn't feed me. I was just razzing you on the size of your state, but then it is bigger that Rhode Island I guess.

I paid $3000 for my car, that looks like its right out of the factory compared to mine. I'm very happy with my purchase though. I'd say you did superbly.

That clock may not be bad, I noticed you had low mileage possibly the car was only driven in the summer months, that clock would run down the battery if the car was not attended to and It may just be disconnected to save a few electrons.
I have yet to see a state that does not have some truly awesome country; I just wish most of them were not so blinking cold.
Nice looking car however, I expect I have invested about as much as you have and yet I still have a long way to go before it will look as good as yours. Do get the timing belt changed however, it beats sitting on the side of the road admiring the interior work while waiting for the tow truck.
