First and foremost, I would like to extend a warm welcome to Clay Perrine who has accepted a position with our Admin team. A 914 fanatic and having worked as a professional mechanic and shop manager, Clay brings a wealth of 914 knowledge to the Admin team. Clay also works for the Evil Empire (Microsoft), and his considerable computer skills will be a help with the "techie" side of running the board. Like his user info says, Clay is from the Dallas/Fort Worth area. He also is on the planning committee for the Mid US Ramble.

Some of you may have noticed that the team has gotten a little bigger lately. That's true. We are expanding the Admin team so we can get some more regional representation. Someone once joked that the 914world.com was "a California group." Well, we all know that's not true, but having leadership spread all over the map helps sell our cause a bit easier!

Welcome, Clay and thank you in advance for all the hard work and headaches you've volunteered for!

-Rusty

Welcome Clay!

Lawrence you told him about the initation fees, right? Did you give him my address for my check?

Let me be the first (edit.. crud the web squatter beat me to it) to abuse....ummm, welcome you....

Good Luck....ya gonna need it....

Thanks for volunteering for a (relatively) thankless job.

Don't the Admin guys get free trips to Germany to drive new Porsche models like them magazine guys......blasting around the "Ring" in the Carrera GT & all.....trophy girls, FREE BEER!!!

Congratulations and Thanks Clay.
Great benefit to this site.
Clay is almost morbid in his dedication to the 914 owners.
Now we can find you when we need some early morning 914vice eh.. advice!

The real reason why we tricked Clay into the admin team is because we need a new fall guy...
Someone we can blame when the members are b*tching again because we choose to remove or close a thread or to erase profanity.
Just so you know, next time this happens: IT WAS CLAY!!!

Kidding!

Welcome aboard Clay!

schweet!

welcome to the club!

I just called a tattoo parlor to see how much it costs to have "scapegoat" tattooed on my forhead.

Soon as MikeZ gets the vinyl machine thingy, bet he can cut you a great deal on a removable tattoo.
He may be limited on the size since an adminstrator plo could give a larger area forehead. :-) LOL

I would say congratulations but I’m not sure that would be appropriate. I’ve moderated forums in my past and it is truly a thankless job. Good luck. Yea, that’s better, good luck.

Paul:
I see your frame....I have Firefox.....WTF?

Good JP. By using Firefox, you are not vulnerable to this exploit. However, IE users may be. There is a flaw in IE that Microsoft has not patched.

Not an issue with XP if SP2 was installed. Right?

Andrew

that's what the article says.

yeah, i had an buffer overflow the other day, and i tell you, it was ugly!

Andy

You Texans .................. There you go with the goats again! The Cap'n

Oh no.....

I mean, Congrats Clay!

Welcome Clay. You're doing a great job so far.
You have been an administrator for 6 hours so far and you haven't even screwed up once. (yet) I think that's a new record.

LOL!

Don't waste your money, just place the letters upside-down on your desk, and let the face pounding do the work!

Hey....delete this......

Im not going to welcome a new admin, I am going to send congrats to the new admin. He was already a member and he still is, just has a little more power. Good job!!!

Andy

Atta boy Clay.....

Douche bag replaced my ass pic....that's a CLASSIC............

LMAO!~


laughin mike's ass off...

So George Bush walks into a bar.....runs into Redshift and his pimp....

W asks how much is a munch job.....the priest says....50 bucks, just like Cheney charges....

I am really sorry, I was stuck on an accident investigation for a client. I welcome you with open arms. I know that maintaining this board has to be a real pain in the a$), Sorry!! But anyway thanks!!!

Welcome Clay I'm sure this was a surprise to you... You share the same passion for these cars as all the other admins and help other 914 people every day... this will just be an extension of what you already do. I also know that you happen to be considered a leader for your area helping out people in NorTex.

Again Welcome..

LB will clue you in on the *benefits* real soon.



B

Oh.. BTW... Aaron .. your next.. or may be Howard... tough call.


B

Benefits? Admins don't get no stinkin' benefits!!

Jen

Is it a secret handshake? :finger2:

CLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When the Ecomm goes live... admins will benefit...



B

All Admins get a 5% discount at AA.

That Santa doggy is funny...whos dog is that then? Miles?

Actually, I think its time to get a political thread going..


Geoff

The only dog I have is in memory.

I love doggies though, I just can't have any. I miss them when they go, way too much.

Thanks, Clay, for taking on an incredibly important job. I'm sure keeping this zoo going is far more demanding than us normal folks realize. Hopefully we actually make it a fun job instead of making it a pain in the neck. The admins' hard work is very much appreciated!

It is now 6:45 AM central time. I am just now seeing the posts from yesterday evening. I went home yesterday after work and ACTUALLY WORKED ON MY 914!!!


Guys I appreciate the confidence and I am here during the day, but I am NOT here 24 hours. Got to have some time to work on the 914s. Whoever on the admin team replaced the pict of Zois' butt......THANK YOU!!!! I think that would probably make me go blind.



FYI.. I put new stainless steel fuel lines in my car on Saturday, and I took pictures of the process. So we should have a new How TO article soon. I just have to get in there and finish up the last details.

6:19 on the coast....laying wood floor planks......might be able to use my new bedroom and bath after two years of construction......

Wyld Thang gets thrown of the top rack and Manfred goes up this afternoon.....oil leak fix and we can terrorize the neighborhood....

Oh yeah...thank a vet.....

Can't wait. I've got at least a month before I'll need it.

The How-To on fuel lines is just in time. Right after I get my clutch tube fixed, new fuel lines are the next project. After that I put in the new engine and I'll be ready for WCC2005. Every time I think about it, it seems like I'm already short on time so the sooner you post it, the better for me. Thanks!
