Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

lmfao!

I was going to say... he's driven like 10 miles on the gears since he finished the break in.

 

You’re not wrong...


But really, I’ve got two trips in and I’ve been driving this bitch a bunch to work. That’s at least 12 miles. The people of CA seem to love my VA plate.

 

Peanut butter stout, damn this thing is strong. First time, I like it!

 

Spotted @Dex__43 in my driveway ( back visiting from Missouri). Got a lot done with him today. Replaced CV/Diff dust seal (was leaking), drilled through my bruteforcefab bumper to install the BAMF bumper reinforcement brackets, drilled through sliders and frame to finally install the bamf tcase skid and complete the trilogy after getting my exhaust reroute earlier this week, installed durobump front bumpstops, greased driveline, and removed the sway bar.

 

What's up yall, I am looking for a swing out to fab up to my rear tube bumper. Does anyone have an extra from a dual swing out or have one they decided to take off of their rear?

 

Fuck, its quiet in here. California finally fall off the face of the earth?

 

Anyone recommend a place San Jose or Santa Cruz the specialize in alloy rim repair and powder coat? Looking for a one stop place that can remove the tires, sandblast, paint and reinstall. Paint on the BMW wheels is peeling off in sheets

 

That wheel may already have been repaired. BMW doesn’t paint, they usually powder coat.

if it’s been repaired, you may not be able to repair it again.

Wheel Techniques in Santa Clara. 408-496-6363.

There’s another place, Brothers Wheel Repair also I n Santa Clara. 650-921-9763.

I’ve used Wheel Techniques in the past. They’re pretty good.

 

How's big tex sound? I can't hear it from nor cal!

 

Anyone have any tips on getting Blanton’s for anywhere near retail in Sac? Aha

Just found some at a Bourbon / Liquor store for $150 + tax and he wouldn’t budge.

 

Thanks!, I take it over to both to get a quote.

 

It’s definitely a touchy subject I’ve found

 

You just interested in trying it? I’ve got a few bottles if you want a pour

 

I appreciate that.

I have some friends coming to town and was hoping to break open a bottle with them as a celebration. Just wasn’t hoping to pay over 2x msrp for it.

 

Hell I will. Love to try good whiskeys.

 

So, I and going to get tires soon. What size can I get away with if I hammer the pinch and cmc this bitch.

 

I’ll be heading to the Bay Area tomorrow for work. I’ll call some of my old honey holes and see if they’ve got any

37s or bust

 

Thanks man I appreciate it, let me know

 

No such luck.
Last time I was in M&B off El Camino, they had John J Bowman Single Barrel which is the same mash bill as Blantons - but distilled in VA and sits at a higher proof (100 proof vs 93 proof). Lots of similar tasting notes as Blantons seeing that it's the same ingredients - but a little more flavor because of the higher proof. I always like sipping them back to back, and pick the Bowman over Blantons in a blind test.
Might be worth a shot if you can't find any Blantons.
