I love road trips! Have a good one!

Hope it goes well for you. Just took a ride up to NE Mass on Tuesday for a better side shift trans. 14 hour round trip. Came back with a whole lot of shiny extra parts - Thanks Tommy. Great weather, sights , and quality "thinking time". Trip down to Scotty B's was more work. Trailering a car in mentlally taxing. Especially going through Baltimore, DC and Richmond. Drivers don't give you a break. They'll hit the brakes and not care about the extra weight of your trailer pushing you forward into their bumper. See you at Hershey

This entire month has been testing me & trying to bring me down. I refuse to ket a run of bad luck get the better of me & ruin my last road trip before I hit the half century mark on Tuesday. I will continue to

I wonder if the Trunk Monkey will reimburse me for my gas money if I claim to be an ambassador for MUSR 11 on a mission to personally invite all the northeast guys to the Teeners on the Tail in October.

Just another 600 miles to Scotty' place.

Are you driving a truck? If so, bring Scotty's BMW up so I can fix it for him

At least you forgot the parts that can be shipped.

Posted by: hot_shoe914 Apr 23 2010, 04:01 AM

356 miles to Scotty's. Yeah Mike, I'm driving a truck.

That trip will be a walk in the park for you! I bet the truck has comfier seats than Christine, too! Have a great weekend, and a great birthday!!!!!

It will all be worth it once you get there.

PS Keep your windows rolled-up and your targa top on, or the flares won't be the only thing that you will be leaving behind....like your windsheild.

The shoe is still rolling & 75 miles out from Scotty's.

The Shoe should be getting close to ScottyB's...Was about 110 miles out at around 10 central.

Rick's right...we need some pics of the car in TOW...

Just enjoyed a nice hour long nap after dropping the car off at Scotty's. Now to tackle rush hour traffic in D.C. On the way to Hershey. Got 3 slabs of Memphis style ribs to share with the northern folks.

Shoe,

I'm right with you in a couple of weeks. It seems like it keeps getting better each year, and probably especially better with all of the 914s you have! May you have another great 50 years!

Your frequent road trips are fascinating and it seems like you really enjoy them.

Looking forward to seeing you for the MUSR11. Let me know if Scotty gets your car ready in time and you have an extra 914 that needs to be exercised. I'll be very interested to see the bumblebee after Scotty is finished with it.

Yep... he's nuts alright folks.... totally nuts.... yee haw!

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Apr 25 2010, 09:27 PM

BTW - the ribs (even though we devoured them cold ~ 2AM between shots of tequila) were TOTALLY awesome.

Cold ribs that are tasty. THAT says a lot. Can only imagine what they were like hot.

You need to head back over to Doc's Zach, left 2 slabs in the refrigerator if he hasn't gobbled them all up. Most likely gone by now though. Come on down to theMUSR 11 and I will make sure to bring more.

Posted by: Dr Evil Apr 27 2010, 12:30 PM

Only one left. I ate one whole slab for dinner last night

Best I can do on the pics.

Posted by: RobW Apr 27 2010, 01:04 PM

Hey Shoe, PM TomT for help on how to post pictures...

Posted by: zymurgist Apr 27 2010, 01:11 PM

West Coasters get all the rust free cars. You really want to trade?

Posted by: Dr Evil Apr 28 2010, 04:11 PM

Just had another half a slab of ribs for lunch

I am trying to see how long I can protract my session of mud butt

Posted by: hot_shoe914 Apr 28 2010, 07:33 PM

Glad you are enjoying the ribs Mike, let me know if you need me to send you some more.

Posted by: jt914-6 Apr 28 2010, 11:59 PM

You must be getting Altheimers......As my ex would say...."we've had this conversation" ....I leave about 10:00am Fri. for Hallett.....Leave what you have with Ron if you two can hook up....No problem as I'll be sure and not wreck the car so I would wish I had them on the car......
