No camera here.

The steering is not drama, just a welding opportunity. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)

OK, so anyway... We've been having some stress... Nico, for those of you who have met him I do not have to explain, is a big individual. We are looking for racing seats that might fit his, ummm, largesse. It seems that we need something that will hold a frame with a 43 or 44 inch waist. Are there any suggestions? Does anyone have something that they would recommend?

My sweetheart just doesn't know his mass, and the impact that it can have on our build... as well as Joe and Lauren's couch!!!!!


f=ma, dood!!!
