Nice looking machine. What is it? how much?, and.....how much beer was involed? lol (the pic downing a beer by SOMEONE is impressive and disconcerting at the same time!)

are you interested in selling that scoop?

« **Reply #6 on:** May 26, 2009, 12:20:37 AM »

The one downing the beer is 78 Cent in person, and the scoop actually belongs to Busby69tahita, who might be willing to trade for some So Cal Stickers if available in a timely fashion.....

I would first start off by talking to some other people whom have successfully ran tahiti's like this one.
Run their set-up as a starting point.
Let me know when I can cruise by so we can talk about running that pump through the Team Cold Beer mill.
BTW , I have a bunch of wedges n shit you can barrow for a weekend if thats your flavor.

« **Reply #23 on:** June 09, 2009, 04:07:52 AM »

Easy Andy, lol. Calm down, take a deep breath. Then tell us exactly how you feel!

The Chickenfoot album is out now, maybe that'll calm you down???

Ray

« **Reply #24 on:** June 09, 2009, 08:20:41 AM »

FWIW - I'm not impressed w/ Chickenfoot. Haven't found a single cut that I would listen to twice.

Now what was this thread about again???
