mike, thanks. believe me, if i can do this work anyone can. i drove the car upto camano island yesterday (about 200 mi. + or -). freeway to marysville and then the backroads up to the island.the test of fire. it ran like your grandmothers old singer sewing machine. press down on the pedal, and it just hums along. if webers, triad, and removed sound panels could be considered humming one brief 2 mile blast at 100. i want to return your t handle hex set. email me your schedule for this coming week with your mailing address, i'll just go to expedia and print out directions.

dave, the wife is heading to nebraska for 6 days this week. i begged off. the humidity, heat, and air conditioning just tears me up. i'll send you my phone #, give me a ring, i'm game. i could swing by the office one day at lunch time so you can have a peek. the road over the purdy bridge and on to vaughn(?) would be a nice drive. around the side of the canal, and a milk shake at crazy eric's. if we got pulled over we could get over be time."your honor, the officer was mistaken, it was the OTHER silver 914 that was speeding". if neal c was along that would give us 3 silvers, sort of a 3 card monty with porsches. older(not old) farts in 30 year sports cars you have to love it.

geoff, just let me know when it's good for you, i know your're busy with jobs. when i come up you know the day will be shot. whats that road called that runs on the back side of capital hill? it's behind/below sacred heart on the lake side and real curvy. the dyno day was on my mind. thanks for reminding me. i need to contact the local pca chapter to reserve a slot if i still can. when i see you you get to laugh at me when you see what happened to my drivers side door. door vs seat. i just about soiled my jockeys. looks like scratch repair /color sanding is the next skill to work on. i mean the last thing i needed to do. i'm such a dope.

Interlake ave?? Over on Mercer Island is a better one, East Mercer Way. Tons of sharp banked curves, hairpins and cliffs to fall down if you miss.

like i said. the day will be shot. i was always partial to the road down to carkeek park. the old "snake road" between edmonds and the meadowdale area is nice too. when's the next breakfast? then do a driveabout instead of standing around b-sing

I took Korijo up the Carkeek Park road right after I got the Kuhmo's on. We blasted up there alittle fast enjoying the grip of the tires but not too fast as there is lots of kids biking and walking.

Don't know the Snake Road??

Lets do another Breakfast in August, maybe in Woodinville at the Brewery there. Then we can go on a drive on country roads?
