SoCal update. Rain and wind last night really made it pretty today. Cool, high 40's, took Suzi for a quick Mulholland blast and stopped at Rock Store. Damn, I love this place.
Hi, Vinnie!

Had some more but got error message something like 'exceeded the limit set for your group' what ever that means. AAAAAAAAAAron, if I could just straighten it out it would reach your house. Gonna try to make AX next weekend.

Was that Qarl's Lotus taking the long way to Florida?

are you sure that this was the french national color ...
I always thought it was a kind of blue metallic, like this baby:

Alpine = french car
Alpine body = fiberglass => NO rust

That R5 is a giant killer.. I always wanted one of them (still do)!!
Posted by: redshift Nov 21 2004, 03:16 PM
Gustl The only thing I can say in defense of the French, is that their export cars rusted so badly, that by 1987, I never had to see another Citroen up close..

Gustl, we know it's blue. We're just going through a phase of France bashing here, as in French Surrender White (flag). We don't speak English here, it's American. It must be tough to understand some of our bad jokes, so keep asking.

does some japanese or chinese guy own that RS?

Yesterday was my day of birth.
It was a day without mirth,
Bright and sunny all day thru,
Warm as toast and skies of blue.
Went to bed sometime last night,
After playing halo, I fought the fight,
Had a beer or maybe two,
Glot laid real good too!
Woke up this morning, boy it was chilly,
2 1/2" feet of snow, now isn't this silly,
Was it the diety's revenge for this plight?
5 hours I shoveled that damn stuuf that's white.
My toes are frozen, my face is a block of ice,
For this day after, I was gonna be nice,
But this storm unannounced it blew in,
Screw the weather channel and all their kin!

I drove a 914!!!!
My car is finally back together, so I took it to a top secret testing facility (disguised as an empty parking lot). I got to play for an hour and finally start to learn the car and the gear shift. Its been a wonderful weekend weatherwise in the Bay Area.
Now I have a new oil leak to fix.

one more.
My wife even drove it for around 10 minutes so now I have to fix the seat to either adjust or have an insert - maybe I'll get her to AX next year?

Met my first club member in person, Jeff Dixon. He was out for a nice sunday drive up from K-Falls and on to the Cascade Lakes hwy, it closes tommorow for the winter.
He took me for a ride in his 6cyl and even let me drive. 
Thanks Jeff.
Yeah it was fun, and yes I want a six now.
But for now it's back to work on the 2.0L

I just got home from Okla City (AQha Worlds horse show )where it was wet and cold, BUT when I got home here in Temecula there was SNOW everywhere in the hills. I have lived here for 30 years and never saw snow that low and it is cold.

Worked this morning, shopped, and did more Thanksgiving planning this afternoon. I'm about to settle down in front of the TV for a while with a cup of tea. I hate that the weekend is almost over.

Put a new floor in my 6 x 8 trailer, old wood was more than rotten. Also got to stick weld for the first tim ever Now I can add that to the list of half ass things I can do.

Jacked up the car for the winter.
Spent an hour & a half digging rocks outta my AX tiars.
Sat on my skinny ass trying to figure out the best place to dump money into the car.....er...use my budget wisely.....that was a bust. 
Lots to do ( I have a vivid imagination) & not enough cash.
Looks like the Lazy B is gonna be sucking up a lot of my weekends this winter.

Took my medication and played Half-Life 2 all day.

Well I went out and found this little project car to bring back to CAMP.
Then I went and looked at a FORD MUSTANG. Thanks for the tip Bruce.

Recap of the weekend
Built shelves to store more stuff. Engines and transaxles and big parts boxes.
Fixed the drivers window winder. re- timmed the motor. Bumped a few more degrees. Built new work bench to put Rob's motor together on. Now I just need some parts.
Oh and put a fiberglass front bumper on.

Dinner, drinks, and clubbin with friends friday and saturday night
Sunday, drove in a scavenger hunt with the local Mini Club (minicci.org). Relaxed sunday evening with a few Guinness. Woke up this morning to a giant mess in the kitchen -- somehow the plastic bottle of wesson oil lost structural integrity during the night and 
contents (~ 1-2 cups) all over the cabinet. That crap has dripped all over my countertop and sink areas 
Nothing motivates like knowing you get to come home from work to a big a$$ mess...
Posted by: crash914 Nov 22 2004, 11:28 AM
YEA!!!!
Got the new rocker arm and shaft installed....fired that sucker up.....
HOT DAMN....that is until the wrench under the fan stopped it cold.....shi#....

This motor revs quick and I can't wait for a trip around the block....in spring....
