Useless Facts/Chit Chat Thread

[daddyscooltv]

We're doing Universal in May....we havent been in about 12 years...I am pretty excited and hope I dont come away disappointed.

I finally got around to taking some pics of my cart today....I think it came out OK....I really need to get rid of the brace holding my seat-backs but dont really know what to shop for!!!!

Nice looking cart!!! You did a good job, now it's time to save for a new motor and controller!!!

 

[BigDaddyRog]

I agree on US's front of the line passes.......Disney makes it fair for everyone...and prevents greed from taking over. US doesnt even try to hide the fact that money makes you more important.

I know!!!!...Pete offered me his old motor at a VERY fair price, but the ol'lady wont budge...she says im cut off of cart cash for at least a month...I guess thats fair (I hate her and all her stupid logic!!!)

Rog Cool looking cart. I can't wait to get one!!

 

[RvUsa]

Rog, been away all day, cart looks awesome. You said something about getting rid or the seat braces, wouldnt a back seat do that???

The cart looks like it should have grave digger written on the side. LOL I mailed that musket mickey to ya yesterday, you should get it soon. It is the right color, but I don't think it would match the "theme", you will have to find a better place than on the cart.

I have a question for you, you would understand about 100 lbs ago, is that steering column adjustable, looks a little close to the seat for us gravity challanged.

later

 

[BigDaddyRog]

No, its not adjustable. but the actual steering wheel is really small, so I have plenty of room....the one we rented at disney was really close to the gut though...but Ive dropped a few pounds since then as well.

About the rear seat getting rid of the current braces...I dont know. Would it? Is that the answer? Ive looked at every pic I can find of a rear seat, and they definately have different brackest, but Im not sure if thats something you have to purchase WITH the rear seat...or if thats how a rear seat is made(made to eliminate the brackets holding the front seats back rest)

whew.....all this front back rear stuff is confussing to type!!

 

[RvUsa]

Yep, wore a white tshirt one day, and after driving the cart, had a steering wheel mark on it....

Hey guys trying to catch up I never have enough time to chat, in fact my DH is doing some subtle grunting right now.

Well, I forget who brought it up, but the one who goes Woo-Hoo on SM to freak out the new people is a genius. I remember the first time me and DD rode it together we were in awe at the whole ride and then waiting for the HUGE drop that we had heard about was a bit nerve racking we kept thinking without any encouragement - Oh this is it! I think we may have screamed once or twice. Fun Times.

The Spiderman ride at Universal is the most awesome ride I have ever been on and I am a loyal Disney Fan. Haven't been since my son, who just graduated last year, was in 5th grade! Would like to go back but I always end up at Disney.

Rog - Your cart looks great!

Have a great night everyone.

Rog good job on the cart. Now you will fill important riding threw the fort as kids point at you and dads drool over your paint job.(I know its a wrap)
So how hard was it to wrap it? How long did it take? Where did you get it? What did it cost? Thank's I had been thanking about doing this to my cart. I painted mine to match my truck but I am tired of the color now.

the cart is sweet Rog..

 

[BigDaddyRog]

I got it from golfcargraphics.com for $336+$12s&h. It took me a few hours to put on but would have been MUCH faster if I had left the body on the cart...it requires alot of stretchin of the heated vinyl and the body is so flimsy, it would have been easier to have left the body ON, also would have been nice to have had some help....four hands are better than two!! There are several seems I wish I could have avoided...and probably COULD have avoided now that Im finished and know the techniques...it was a good practice, now that I KNOW how to do it, I wish I could start over, but it looks good enough...(from a distance)

 

[AuburnJen92]

it looks just fine, i don't think you messed up at all......maybe i can cut you a lime green musket mickey to go on it with the vinyl cutter, spring break is soon and i will have some time...gotta go find some lime green vinyl...all i found this evening is pink...

Thanks Rog

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?

On the main camping boards page beside the topics which have new posts (the title is in bold letters) there is a small blue box with an arrow pointing down. Click that arrow and it will take you to the first new post in that thread. I do that on the one lowest on the page, then from there I use the "next thread" link at the bottom of the page to go to the next one. On the top of that thread I click on "View first unread" which takes me to the new posts.
I don't know how to ignore specific topics other than to just fast forward by using the button at the bottom of the post.

Rog, I finally saw the cart last night. Neat. Now you need to paint your head matching colors. That will also help to repel the rain! I agree it looks better without the top and a roll bar would be awesome!

 

[PolynesianPixie]

...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!!

That's not cheap! Its resourceful!

I love it..... you are a dis god!!! It used to take a week to find the last unread post in here, specially when everyone got gabbing together.

What is really sad, is when I did it the first time, I left my cursor over the icon of the envelope at the far left, and it tells you how many posts you have on each thread. It said I have 215 in here, Yikes, I need a life.

 

[RvUsa]

now it says 216....

 

[RvUsa]

now it says 217.... when will it stop WHEN WILL IT STOP????
