As it says, anyone passing through Lexington on the way to the challenge with room for a Miata engine?

Found one on miataturbo.net that I want, just need to figure out how to get it south.

Thanks guys

But, if history repeats itself, he will pass through about 1 am.

Not sure yet, I may get away earlier this year

Look out for the car on a trailer with the guy on a harness wrenching on it traveling south on 75 at 70 mph

Stan should be coming through louisville, as should concealer, Do you know the name of the guy that has the engine? I might know him. I might be able to get it and hand it off at an odd hour if that helps.

I have no idea where in cyberspace pm's from this forum go, I have never recieved a pm through this board. Anyhow, I have met the seller, Mike, good guy and reputable seller, works at a very well known local race support shop that among other things builds and supports spec miatas. If Stan or Ben rolls through Louisville at an odd hour I'll be happy to play go between. You can email me direct at evildky@yahoo.com

I'd love to help, but i'm out for this year after a severe electrical failure on Sautrday, and as such, need help moving my own stuff from Gainesville back up to Indy.

Le sigh.

Dang no I feel bad for joking about you not making it. I am a bit confused about how you already have stuff in Gainesville?

So do I have any volunteers to snag this thing on the way by since swank is out? Though I still say he needs to rent a minivan and make the trip. Can crash in the van to save $$.

Hey Swank Force One... my last attempt @ trying to convince you to come down and drag a motor with you. I've got a sun faded/peeling red miata trunk, and good passenger door. As well as a drivers door that needs a sail window and glass. You drag that motor down and their yours. AND I'll throw you some gas money.

Otherwise they're going out to the track for the swap meet.
