Project: Find Brandini a Project

[Graystroke]

it has coils on four corners ....

of the seats?

[Jackasic]

Andy's Scout?

[BMFScout]

Is that a wink as in I nailed it, or a wink as in yeah, right I'll never spend that much on a trail rig?

I wanted St. John's dad to buy it. Pretty good deal, would fit a big guy well, has the kind of power he likes, turnkey ready to rock. I'm glad it's staying in the club if that is what's going down.

[Jackasic]

wink that you nailed it. Andy is in the process of moving so we haven't had time to meet up to collect the scout. Probably go pick it up after I get back from Vegas.

[BMFScout]

This is going to be HIGHLY entertaining. Thumper had 200 hp or so, and it was always fun to watch Brandon wheel. I can't wait to see him bury the hammer on Andy's Scout. The only problem is that you know it will never be "Brandon's Scout" It will always be "Andy's old Scout."

Did my clever hints help with the guess?

[Jackasic]

Maybe not, but they did generate some funny responces.

The only problem is that you know it will never be "Brandon's Scout" It will always be "Andy's old Scout."

I'm cool with that. I told him he can borrow it any time and he is welcome to buy it back if he wants it. I see myself as more of a custodian.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Cool beans for sure! Congrats (and glad to see it stay in the family).

[uglyota]

YES!!! This is gonna be a GREAT time. Where's the (born-again) maiden voyage gonna be?

[Seth]

Jimmy, I am with you. I think what I told brandon was "wow, that's a lot of rig man"

I am also entertained by how much some of you guys stress about it, I mean would really be let down if it were something you didnt like?!

[AggieTJ2007]

sweet, that scout rocks. Its going to be awesome to wheel with you again

[Jackasic]

I'd be down for something this summer, but for the heat. Seemed like it was going to cost 5k to build a Yota that would do 70% of what I wanted, for a little more I could be driving a finished rig that could do 100%.

[JB]

I have not seen that Scout in a while. Pics?
