Prob not till he gets to a hotel with wi-fi.
He's probably going to post a pic of him posing with his foot up on a trans like Captain Morgan......

WOW.. what a day That was WELL worth the trip.. What an incredible experience.. Sorry guys, but I don't have many pictures I can post right now. I can't download off my good camera right now.. but I did get a few from my cell phone too..

Here's Brian & Jeremy putting my new BTS Tranny in.[IMG]<a href="http://s950.photobucket.com/albums/ad344/ghig1967/?action=view&current=1005001537.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad344/ghig1967/1005001537.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG]

Here's one of my TC.. Kinda hard to tell in the pic.. but there wasn't a lot of life left in it.. You can see discoloration just inside the bolts from it getting hot

Man.. you guys are rough.. its a long *** drive from lead hill to western pa ya know ??? lol I didn't leave Brians until a little after 5:00 last nite & drove to Effingham Illinois. I wanted to be at least east of St Louis before I stopped to avoid the morning traffic.. Then, of course finding a motel that was reasonable & wasnt a roach motel to catch a few hours sleep added put us 100+ miles past St Louis. It was 1:00 am when we stopped.. I saw everyone was posting, but I was exhausted so I just did the short post.. I didn't get back home until almost 7:00 tonite.. what a journey
