Now, dunno if y'all know this - but I don't watch TV....in fact, I mostly despise TV, between monica, OJ, and Jerry Springer I hear too damn much about it anyhow, and it's nothin I really pay a mind to.....anyhows...
I got badgered into watchin this junkyard wars show, right...
The whole time I am sittin there critiqueing, bitching, and pointing out the DUMBass flaws in the constructions (like, not makin sure it RUNS before you build a vehicle around it...) and thinkin some of us would do a far, far better job.
And the more I thought about it, the more it occurred to me that we should indeed at least make the attempt to field a team.
Mopeds, believe it or not, ain't my specialty, nor computers...imma gadgeteer, I mean hell, I designed the prosthetic I wear, more or less - and believe me, it's quite superior to anything else you'd find.
Not to mention handbuilding a cross-brand airconditioner unit, moped engine crossovers, etc...I figure most moped folks are fellow gadgeteers.
So here lies the point - I wanna field a team.
For preference, I'd like Me, Fred and Wayne on it...but that's if all are interested, have the time, and would wish to get into this insanity.
Me..imma up for it, obviously..and regardless of who, I'd sure like to draw the entire team from this forum....cause I bet we'd kick ass.
So...Fred, Wayne...anyone else...you up for it ?
I am quite wholly serious, and the link to last years application page is here.

They'll be lookin for more yahoo's for the show around Jan 3rd 2002, and I fully intend to be in that running.
So how about it, folks ?
