Looks pretty cool. Who makes them?

I think Scott said he had a red one that he'd 'give' me. Now if that means no charge or he was holding it for me to pay him later, I have yet to figure out.

But I'd be interested in checking them out anyway. Oh, and welcome!

I would appreciate it if you would contribute more than just advertising to the forum. If your only interest here is to sell your toys - Ill have to ask you to not consume my bandwidth ...

As it says on the forum this is for TALON Members to sell things NOT for vendors to sell things to TALON members

Thanks

LOL! Madness:D The only thing worse than someone's first post selling stuff outside the guidlines is doing it in CAPS! All three of LOUIE'S posts are right here to sell his MINI trucks. I don't mind as long as it stops here but the second I see commercial performance parts being moved:flaming: Since I am here anyone want a flaming deal on an Accufab:D Doug is a tolerant and merciful Moderator:twitch:

He's a newbie for chrissakes. Can we cut the guy some slack? All caps drives me nuts too, but it's not something that's gonna make me flame him. Maybe a reminder that's more subtle than Madness's suggestion.

I somewhat agree that someone's first post shouldn't be trying to peddle some wares, but does it require bashing the dude? Just my opinion. I'd be willing to kick in another $10 or $15 for the bandwith fund to make a newbie feel more welcome.

Unfortunately Louie there is a fee. You can send your check for $200 made out to Red2002 in care of TALON. It's a fund that was set up for unemployed college students that helps them with their mods. :D

J/J! No fee required. Just show up at a TALON GTG with your L and you're golden.

Madness here's the one you're looking for. Pretty funny (watch the smileys). heh

Louie

I have a little experience moderating boards like this ( I even have a hate forum dedicated to me and the other board I moderate ) and have found that about 95% of the time that when someone uses their first 3 posts to market products and little else that they are here to take from TALON rather than contribute. I never asked you to contribute cash - I simply asked that you do more than hawk the die cast.

I have been in bed all day with either an allergy attack from hell or a cold - I am not in a good mood. Please understand that if I was a member I wouldn't want random vendors circling the TALON site and meetings to sell stuff. I run this site the way I would want to be treated if I were just a member, rather than the administrator god that I am.
:D
Need more Nyquil....

You post from your bed???? Doug, that's kinda' scary.

Louie, TALON meets on the first Thursday of each month 6:00ish at the Pappa's BBQ on NW Hwy. That means our next meeting is day after tomorrow. If you show, and if you have a white one, you might make a sale. :tu:
