Welcome!
T&T is the best. I went there for almost 2 months in 2005 for carnival and played in the panorama. I wanted to stay! I miss you guys down there! Whereabouts are you in Trinidad?

Thanks so much ladies and guys for the warm welcome...
I am looking forward to practicing with my car..... I will let you all know how it goes...

Re: Trinidadian Here
good deal. is that a civic? i know the older civics used to have a similar trim level in other countries (outside the US). buena suerte en lo suyo y que nos deje saber si tiene mas preguntas (did you catch that coronel? ).
edit: just went back to the first page and saw it is a civic you're getting, rock on!!

Re: Trinidadian Here
Welcome welcome! I think my feelings are best expressed by this gem from the Big Band era:
If you ever go down Trinidad
They make you feel so very glad
Calypso sing and make up rhyme
Guarantee you one real good fine time
Drinkin' rum and CoCAAAA Cola
(something something, blah blah)*
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Can't wait to see pictures of your new ride!
* - I haven't heard it in years, so please excuse me for that one forgotten line
EDIT: So I looked it up and the line is "Go down Point Koomahnah"... no wonder I never got that one Do you ever go down Point Koomahnah?

My car is here... I drove it home (well the last 5%)... I didn't do so bad... My only problem is just pulling off in 1st gear... I did a lil practice in the yard with just reversing and going forward...
Tomorrow I am gonna practice some more... Pics will follow soon....

padauk_dust, thanks....
I really miss it... Wow... Even though the VTI isn't the fastest car, it for sure isn't the slowest lol.... My engine is the D16W7 with Simota Aero Form Intake...
