DirtyComanche Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I don't know when the last time I dropped in was... So, I figured I'd pop by and say Hi. I sold my Comanche last year, I might have stopped in when I did, I honestly don't remember. It was too bad, but I was never going to get back to working on it :( Unfortunately I don't know if I people I sold it to will do much with it either. They had big dreams to compete in Highriders (an Alberta competition that's fairly relaxed) with my chassis. Anyways, moving forwards with my life I finally bought a house. If everything goes as planned I get possession on Feb 3rd. No shop, but it wasn't expensive and there's space to build one! So, hopefully I'll get my recreational life back on track and maybe I'll be back to contribute something to this forum again. So, hello everybody :wavey: What have I missed? Juicy gossip? Did Pete's neighbours make him get rid of all of his 'extra' MJs? Who is still around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 :waving: the city won't let me park them in the empty parking lot, won't let me park them in the street, but I went to court and won and can at least park them in my driveway as long as I want. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Congrats on the home purchase. way better to own then rent Thanks! It's fairly ridiculous, I rent a crappy room for $500/month, plus I had been renting a shop for $300/month on top of that, mortgage payment on this house is $415.01/month :eek: And that gets me 1900sqft and .54 of an acre. Sure, I'm going to sink some money into the place to build a shop and make the house a little nicer, but at least it's mine and hopefully it won't ever be worth less than it is now :clapping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I imagine the driveway has absolutely zero exposed surface area now? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyComanche Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 no pics of your new digs? and when are you getting that next comanche? :D Pictures I took for the insurance. She's a '64 model, so she's not exactly perfect anymore, but the yard is nice and mostly private (only one neighbour, and there's most of a green break between us, might consider a fence). Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Sorry, my finger kinda wound up in a few of them, I was using my phone and I never take pictures with it :ack: Edit, 'Rick' looks like he's taking a leak in the last picture too! But he's not. Next MJ... Hmm. I don't know. Now that I have some space I'll be watching Craigslist and Kijiji. I could use a nice driver, then I could park my Chevy/Duramax for a while (it's a little overdue for a servicing). Cost to run either of them around town is probably about the same. I might even *gasp* consider a 4cyl. Probably should get my shop built and equipped before I start collecting though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, there's some good deals to be had if you catch the right break. This one has been listed for 120 days without much interest at all, and certainly not an offer, so they were happy when I was even willing to play ball.

DirtyComanche Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Hey Dirt, real good to hear from you again. :cheers: Still in the helo business? Good to see you're still around! Yeah, still fixing choppers, it's been busy, and looks like it's going to be really busy this year. We've already got as much work booked as we reasonably can take on.
