Rog..the cart looks great.....you really did a lot of work in such a short period of time!

I have a top for it...but I havent painted it yet.....I really dont like the way the tops look on them...without a top it has a little bit of a doon buggy look...especially if I get the roll bar on back, and sport windshield on it....but no top during the winter will mean no full windshield to block the cold...so Im trying to decide what to do. Oh, and yeah...the rain doesnt bother me much, my head is waterproof!!!

KEWL KART!!!

POST 6000 FOR ME!!!!!

We go to Universal for one day about every 2 years. Although, unless they come out with something really awesome, we only have 2 days left on some passes we bought eons ago. (We bought 5-day non expiring passes through Shades of Green back in 2004.) We can see EVERYTHING we want to see in both parks in one weekday in October or December.

Like I said about coasters, I used to ride Dueling Dragons Fire & Ice back to back at least twice each time. I rode Ice once this last time and it just about ate my lunch, and B&M coasters are the smoooooothest out there. Don't know if Universal is not maintaining it, or like I said, I'm getting old.

Well, I probably won't be around much the next 3 days, have a long weekend, spending all day working on the house tomorrow, and then watching some March Madness (along with my friends Budweiser and Bacardi...heh).

Sunday get to spend all day with the familes, can't wait for that.

So have a happy easter all, say hi to the bunny if you see him

I was wondering 2 things here on these boards. First of all if say you log on and get to the new posts and you have no interest in reading or replying to them can you delete or hide it? If not I wish we could. There are some threads I don't ever open at all.

Second question is when I've been away for a while I log in and on the longer threads I usually go to the last page and the 1st post has the new yellow envelope so then I have to go back a page or 2 and the newest posts I haven't yet seen are not yellow anymore. I hope this didn't confuse you lol. Basically what I'm asking is how do you catch up where you left off?

 

[Rhonda]

The trick is........NEVER LEAVE!

I have no idea. Sorry. You might want to ask over on the Tech board! Maybe they have an easy answer for you!

 

[Brer Bear]

Nice cart! How many folks can you carry at one time?

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Ive never even noticed the yellow envelopes before...so you just brought me one step closer!! Thanks

My kids loved Universal...they love the thrill rides. I really liked the movie rides. My favorite part was Suessville. We were there over Thanksgiving and the Christmas tree was up and the Who's were singing. Jim Carrey's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" had just come out and the Grinch was featured all over the place. My youngest LOVED the Jurassic park area. I think we did one day at Universal and one day at Islands of Adventure. We are probably going to go back again next year.

I have one BIG pet peeve at Universal and that was that you had to pay extra for an upgraded pass that allows you wait less time on the rides. I think the whole thing is unfair. It's like if you have more money you can ride faster (and this is coming from someone who could afford the upgrade). I think the way WDW handles the past passes is MUCH better.

It looks great Rog !!

One step closer to being only as lost as Donnie, because if he's lost, Im too stupid to even realize Im lost!!! Thanks on the cart comp.

BEAR....Ive been cruising the neighborhood with four of us...wife holds the 5yo in lap, 11yo sits on access cover in back. Im looking at rear seats...but not sure I wanna add it or not...and sure dont have the extra $$$ right now. Im thinkin about making a pad on the access cover to match the front seat and keeping it like that....yes, as a matter of fact, I AM that cheap!!
