Yeah it was a great 2 days. The other 4 days were spent hauling kids and all the gear to the beach, applying sunscreen, changing diapers, fixing sliding glass doors at the house, cleaning the boat out from where other people just used it and never did anything to maintain it. That has to be my biggest gripe of the dissadvantages of owning a beach house with 3 other people. The other 3 don't do anything to help keep the boat in good working order. They just put it in the water and use it and then put it back. They don't wash anything or drain the gas out of the carb, or flush the motor and when it breaks they just send it off to the marina where they charge 1k just to replace the water pump. 4 days is just not long enough. You need a week. It takes 4 days just to get to the point of relaxing. Then it takes 3 hrs to pack the car up.

Do you want some cheese with your wine!

When they get older it gets easier since the kids are self sufficient. We had a great time at Jekyll, not much work, the kids even helped carry stuff and could go on longer walks, etc.

OK, Troll, wassup with the new avatar? I get the TEQ, but what's the three tuning forks?

 

[ClemsonCruiser]

TEQ, Rising sun, and the forks are also affilated with Toyota I believe

 

[GXO]

[99UZJay]

The tuning forks are the symbol for Yamaha, not sure what they have to do with Toyota, but I'm sure Marshall will enlighten us

 

[ClemsonCruiser]

yamaha and engines are I believe some how tied to Toyota

 

[Trollhole]

Check out the 2000GT then get back to me.

 

[ClemsonCruiser]

[BMThiker]

Check out the 2000GT then get back to me.

Is that a hint at a new project?

 

[Trollhole]

More than that.

 

[ClemsonCruiser]

the 2000 had a yamaha motorcyle engine in it, past that I don't know squat

 

[Trollhole]

A 6 cylinder motorcycle engine? Really? Who designed the prototype of the car?

 

[Trollhole]

Did you know it was almost a Nissan before it became a Toyota? Had nissan come out with it we probably would have never seen the 240z?

 

[Trollhole]

This was the Nissan 2000gt developed by Yamaha before they axed it. Once they did they went to Toyota.

 

[ClemsonCruiser]

A 6 cylinder motorcycle engine? Really?

Okay so the motor was tuned/ amped-up by Yamaha, not built..... so my memory was a little fuzzy but better than most

 

[Trollhole]

Was built by Yamaha.

So did you find one on craigslist or one of your many other Trollhole interweb finding places for like $5?
