Just wanted to let everyone know, I will be headed out next week as a nasty civilian contractor :giggle:

More money to fund my build, which is about to get a whole not better now...

Tubular Control Arms/Subframe
Quaife Trans

Keep your stock subframe for me! I want a backup in case my first round with mine goes bad :p

Stay safe man. I'm starting a new job on the 23rd... wee bit more normal though.

Where'd you find the quaife trans?

Food service contractor or blowing some motherfuckers up contractor?

AWR has them last I checked, if not then I will just get a 6 speed. I think they discontinued the trans actually.

Fae, here is a picture of my last kit on deployment to Iraq to give and an idea of what 'type' of contractor I am.

Preemptive welcome to here, J.

I'm sure you know the deal with being over here (I remember you posting about being a Marine), but I have to say.. don't get a sense of false security because you're a contractor. We lost two last week. :(

Sorry to hear for your loss brother, no I have no sense of false security I know how things are, I have quite a few friends down-range. I have good faith in my training and my gear...as well as MRAPS. I will keep in touch, maybe we'll run into eachother.

I was a contractor in Iraq as well, and we lost a few contractors leaving the ECP they where Brits but it was pretty sad to hear, they where a bunch of good guys we'd always sit with at the DFAC.

So you know we all expect AK-47 in pieces shipped back to all of us.

buffon01 05-12-2011 03:12 PM

Elaborate on "contractor." KTB

PS: Don't forget what I asked.

PSS: I'll send you more jailbait pics ;)

FRT_Fun 05-12-2011 03:20 PM

Good luck. Stay safe. Not sure what type of contractor you are (can't see pictures, at work) but hopefully you kill some bad guys ;)

Bond 05-12-2011 03:29 PM

I'm gonna miss our late night chats and nude skyping. Good luck cutie pie.

I did work for Triple Canopy, however, I am no longer with them on this contract...I don't wish to disclose the name of the company I am working for ;) but either way I will still have the internet.

Good deal on still having internet. It means I can still give you shit for putting out fake dyno numbers. :giggle::giggle:
