: But thats how boards are. People are busy, involved, preoccupied and sometimes a persons messages just don't get acknowledged unless it truly seems urgent or highly important in some way. I'm sure most people here appreciated his enthusiastic remarks as well as your Welcome!!!just as I did. Ain't life interesting.
: Thanks, Kurt

Thank you all for the welcome. I could understand everyone being busy. I was pretty excited to find other fellow E-31 owners.

I'm going to have the intake gaskets/valve cover gaskets replaced next week. It's good to hear that my car has "normal" items that wear out, and nothing out of the ordinary.
