Install Vararam...... check
Well - I too made the pilgrimage to Manny's and like others on here..... yes it was worth it.... got me my vararam and now Manny has me thinking on some exhaust
Everything they say about Manny is true.... he is:
1. Short
2. Going Bald
More seriously:
1. A great guy
2. a great mechanic
3. knows a 5hit load about vettes
4. a great host
5. doesnt have time to eat or see his family :-0
looking forward to future visits... was nice to meet Brain and Colin as well.
I was only there for 2 hours and saw seven nice machines, from a 700 hP Monster Manny was working on to Brian's newly polished 88 to Colin's beast - I love the back end on that Grand Sport ! I think Manny's neighbors must love him and the show they get each night - Grant's 07 twin turbo departure was nice to listen to
Looking forward to meeting more of you on May 26th and Colin, I will send those pics I took last night off to you this evening. I was also wrong about my RPM on the highway - 1500 at 105 and 1800 at 120 kmph.

Hey guys, Running a little late today due to issues with a pup at home: Sid needed a vet visit, and a new addition to the family: A new adoption: Jacob who also needed to visit our friendly vet for a visit and some attention.
All is well and pups and adoptees are fine so on with the news and picture info:
Got all the pics Duff -- checked sizes, transferred to my PHotobucket, and am ready now to post in a thread about our visit to Manny's on Monday (April 2).
I'll make a new thread for you and ask Riley to please transfer any material from Wayne's thread to the new thread including posts, pictures and such if you would please Riley.
I'll also come back here when done and post a link to the new thread for all to read and for you to add to in whatever way you please and whenever you please. Its title will be April-2 visit to Manny's
EDIT.
http://www.canadiancorvetteforums.com/forums/general-corvette-discussion/2797-april-2-visit-mannys.html#post23326
Hope that's ok. I didn't want to take away from Wayne's (Ford Prefect)'s thread in any way and thought a new personal thread of yours might be best and appropriate.
Glad to pitch in. If I can make any changes to the thread in any way just holler and our buddy Riley won't mind (I hope) with moving any posts over for us and adjusting/changing titles etc. (he's usually pretty good if you grease his palm a little - If you know what I mean.)
Without any more chatter, I'll get to work with the picture transfer from photobucket to the new thread.
Cheers,
Colin.

I can move what ever. Just don't grease my palm too much or I won't be able to control the mouse! I'm glad you guys are having a great start to a great year out there.

More than two weeks to post three photos, thats a new record for me.
Consider these the before, during and after.
Had a great time as has everyone else apparently.

yeah Brian very close on that last number, I had been hoping for 666 but it didn't quite work out that way. FYI my phone extension at work was 666, always a bit of fun to pass that number onto people.

I am new to this Forum. I have heard a lot of good things about Manny. I have owned a C3 - 1980 Corvette for a few years but have also recently acquired a 1985 C4. Does Manny work on the older stuff as well. I would love to get some long tube headers and wake up this old L98

I too have have had an 85 vette and Manny worked on it several times. Infact, Manny had a set of headers I bought used powder coated and installed them on my 85. It was one of the best mods I did to the car.

Hey Flipr -- yes come to Cambridge and see Manny. You'll be glad you did.
Welcome to our forum btw -- let us know when you make the trek and we may see you at Manny's.

I have heard that the L98 responds really well to headers. That will be my first mod. I have already purchased some C5 wagon wheels for her. I machined the lip and powder coated the rest in black. the car is red (I know I need to post some pics) I have totally hijacked this thread - sorry.
Look forward to the meeting some of you guys in may. How many of you guys get to the Bayfield corvette show? that is where I live

I have attended the Bayfield show for the past 4 years and it is a definte must do. The event coincides with a fireman's breakfast which is worth attending for that alone and the 200+ cars are featured in beautifully manicured park. Local shopping helps entertain those passengers with limited car related interests.
Even though I was vetteless, having sold mine the evening before, I made the trip with several vette owners but left early to pick up my current vette. There is a Friday evening cruise that I have not done yet and depending on work schedule and weather, I may attend as well.
