There has been a home school association/convention the past several years. Interesting to have neighbors in town the same weekend for a very different affair!

Oh jeez, I forgot about the home schoolers. I've heard hotel and restaurant people say they are zero fun.

Michelle and I will be going. We are competing in the rally for the first time. The rally will be stopping at a drag strip and everyone will be able to make a run. That sounds like it would be a lot of fun. We are joining the group on Rolling the Twisties after the event. I just bought a 6 sp. transmission that I am going to try to get installed before the event.

You got my message about wanting the room, right?

Is anyone coming up from or through the Atlanta area with a larger vehicle or trailer? I'm looking at some Corbeau TRS seats near Duluth and it would be really convenient if I could pick them up at Vintage. I'm not sure if these will come apart easily or not.

I just looked at my seats. There is a solid rod that runs through the hinge point on the seat. You could contact Corbeau and find out how easily they come apart. I called them with questions when I was installing my seats. They were very helpful. If you want to look me up at Vintage you can look at my install job. I used the factory manual brackets. Love the seats and they come in two different sizes depending on how big your butt is. The larger ones are if I am remembering right are 2" wider.

Yeah, I plan on getting the factory brackets as well. Which seats do you have? I plan to sit in one at a local store to test if my butt will fit. :)

I have the TRS in black microfiber. I put them in my car in 07 and they still look new. I am very pleased. I put about 10 to 15,000 miles on the car each year. When I talked about factory brackets I meant BMW manual brackets. They were the original brackets that came in the car.

Oh I see. I've got some of those. Corbeau actually makes brackets for the e28, surprisingly enough.

Absolutely, along with autocross shirts, more cool toys, some posters, and a line of gifts for the ladies handmade by my lovely wife. Plus, you know, car parts.
