Lobby I’m hosting tonight

 

[coryclifford]

Trying to get the car going.
I doesn’t want to.
I don’t blame it.

 

[coryclifford]

Oh ho holy heck we broke a garage door. I’ll spare the details, but, it was like an episode of the barn find show. And four of us can lift a 1697 lb car. I was surprised I didn’t forget how to drive a stick. And man oh man is it loud, low, no ABS or power steering and I still, hours later, cannot stop smiling. Very memorable day.

Good morning Geezers, I apologize for leaving the room AGAIN .I received a message from the Divebomber (Luke).‘sorry for the bump I have left the room you can rejoin’.BUMP??? He wrecked me into the wall and KEPT ON GOING!!! . I normally let this reckless guy pass me and wreck someone else .
But I felt like racing last night.So , I’m taking a break from racing and hosting the Geezers lobbies.I have had A great time racing with you guys.But I just don’t have the patience anymore. I’ll see you guys soon except for Luke 🤬

 

[MasterGT]

A few weeks ago, I offered to help drivers with driving skills or racing rules and ethics, to help make the Geezers a safer, more fun, place to race. Nobody took me up on this, so far, so I restate the offer.

Apparently, I will have Sunday off, so I could open a private lobby after the Geezer racing is done. Usually I did this one on one, but I would be willing to help two, maybe three at once to see how it works out. It will probably take at least an hour (for 1, not sure about more).

If anyone is interested, please let me know soon. If you need different hours or days, let me know.

 

[Luiz Frota]

Hello everyone. This weekend I'll be installing my new tooth (#21) and will be off Sat and Sunday. This way I will not open the room. See you guys next week

 

[MasterGT]

Hello everyone. This weekend I'll be installing my new tooth (#21)

So teeth are programs that we can install to replace our bad teeth? That's awesome!🤪

Good luck, Luiz.
