Re: Why not start the discussion. Rausch Spring 2020

Re: Why not start the discussion. Rausch Spring 2020

I was originally going to be going, but my bother has scheduled his daughter's Christening on that weekend. Pushing to a different date raises my chances of going if this CV stuff has dissipated.

Re: Insurance companies who insure unregistered jeeps?

Not sure that they do it for off-road vehicles, but you could also check out the collector car companies as well like Haggerty and Grundy, etc.

I read that they intend to continue as online mags. This was posted on FB by David Freiburger on Dec 6th: Today is a day we’ve all...

Re: Rausch Creek 10/2 to 10/6

Not looking very promising for me. I'm probably going to have to come back to DC next week. This unit is kicking ******, every time I get a sub-system up, the next level up has an issue.
