Yep! Through a bunch of oddball circumstances, I'm buying another M- in a couple weeks.
Seems like most of the Dippy.org guys have migrated over to here.

And you've been having fun with your car I see.

Yeah, bailed on Dippy a few years ago after Allpar was sold. The new owner, a media holdings firm, started injecting raunchy ads all over the place. That was it for me.

So you landed in Virginia? How has life been? Looking at an AHB?

Was getting tired of the 360 and decided if I was going to build something else it would be the largest short block I could put together. Took a couple years to get the budget and parts together, but I'm totally happy with how it turned out.

yep, it's a AHB missing a drivetrain.

Short/Long Story: I still (currently) have my Corolla Wagon, but I'm in the process of trying to sell it. Every time I try to schedule time at home to work on it, something random happens that keeps me from doing it. So, I threw all the parts I bought for it into the back, and stuck it up for sale. I can take a hint when the goddess above doesn't want me to have a specific car. At that same point, started looking at Mopars again, and even though I'm not a fan of the mid-'60's Monacos, I clicked on the ad for it, and he had a Dippy AHB he's trying to sell too. I've talked him into not including the "built" TCI 904 that's sitting in it.

I'm going to pick up where I left off all those years ago, and actually do what I was wanting to originally, which was get an M- to road course track days and hassle some BMW's.
