Default Coming soon!!

Hey hello everyone, I will be moving up there in a few months and was wondering what is happening. I just got orders to Whidbye Island, but will be living in Poulsbo again for a while. Is there any fellow f-body's out there? I just got my car about 5 months ago and have done a little work on it so far. but I wanna soon put some heads and cam in it. Was wondering if any one has a good shop in mind? Well thanks hope to see some badass cars on the road....

Most of us are just starting our mod lists for next year.

Speed Secrets is the local know it all shop for Fbodies.

You will find lots to do when it comes to activities. We try to have get togethers about once a month either at Hooters or someone's house.

I'm in Oak Harbor with VP-46. I can give you a hand with heads/cam swap if you front some pizza and beers.

There are a few of us in Oak Harbor with some decent cars that enjoy cruising and doing a little spirited driving if ya know what I mean.

What command are you going to?

Nate

Sounds good. I've done a few LSX cam swaps so we'll be alright with a few beers. I transfer to VQ-1 right after I get back from this deployment in December so we'll be in the same hangar. So what rate is that, MMS? I'm a brown shoe guy here and EP-3's don't go to the boat. Per Diem rules though.

But it is a sweet *** jeep. Well talk at you later man
