Latest forecast (1pm Friday) is no rain for Sunday, so back to plan 'A'.
Please understand that this is their run, but all are invited to tag along.

Run will start from TRE No Hollywood 8am ish.
I won't be there, but will be at first stop, Gelsons Calabasas 9am ish.
Twisty tour from there, TRE will provide route.
Pack your own picnic lunch and beverages!!
Lunch location is Tapia Park on Malibu Cyn/Las Virgenes

In case it does rain, we can go back to my place.

I'm all for running our own way. Some of those guys took things a little TOO seriously last year. A certain MINI driver comes to mind. But I'll go along either way.

There was also this M3 which Slits was not going to let go of............

Oh...it wasn't racing.....it was "spirited driving"

Posted by: drew365 Dec 19 2005, 10:30 AM

I've never done this run and TRE is fairly close to me, so if I can get the car into street attire before then, I plan on being at TRE at 8. Hope to see you guys somewhere along the way. Hopefully, not with flashing blue lights parked behind you. Is Slits going?

I am not fixing the pushrod tubes leaks so I can "blind" the blue meanies with oil all over their windshields.

At least you waited until you got to the straightaway, and dind't insist on passing through blind corners on Mulholland.

I'll probably go with the TRE group. we were just talking about it yesterday. I've done the run with this group several times, it's fun.
It's really fun when your stock 2.0 914 is sticking right on the ass of a 50K Ferrari and the guy gets out of his car to come back and see what engine you have...

I'm in. I've got nothing planned for New Years eve, so I'll bust up O'dark thirty and join at least one of the groups. I'll either bring the Boxster or the RUF RGT.

Posted by: Brad Roberts Dec 26 2005, 03:44 PM

The Boxster I can replace *if* something happens.. I cannot replace the RGT.. much less have the nose painted if I scuff it

The Boxster doesnt have a soft top anymore.. could be a chilly ride up..

Well, the latest on the news is that Sunday will be clear. Subject to change, of course, and the roads will be damp, at least.

Unless it's raining hard, I'll be at Gelsons around 8:30. So pack a picnic lunch, we'll go on the run or at worst go back to my place, tell bad jokes, and wrench or watch movies. Somebody bring CV joints and rear wheel bearings. Moby is howling and I'm not sure what the problem is.

Didn't think of that. It is coming from the back end...

Posted by: SLITS Dec 29 2005, 09:39 AM

Hmmmmmmm....

1.) Lack of gear oil in the tranny

2.) Intermediate plate bearing taking a Sound would possibly change with changing gears

3.) One of the wheel bearings going south Sound would change with speed, but not with gears.

4.) CV joints would make a clicking / clunking sound mainly on turns, but if bad enough, most anytime

If you don't have the **gasp** Porsche tool for the wheel bearings, you don't want to try and change them just before a fun run.

CV joints would be easy...swap the entire axle

901s do not like V8 power, but you already know that. I have a G50/G64, rebuilt, but the installation would require that you sell your house, Suzi, Atilla and your body (which no one wants anyway).

so I said "wanna get up at 5am and go on a porsche run?"

we're coming, as long as i get my car in satisfactory running condition by then.

no 5 bolt or new exhuast most likely, but the valves should be adjusted by then.

I put my street tires on, license plates, windshield wipers. I even put RainX on the windshield. So if it's not raining at 7am I'm good to go. We're having company for New Years Eve so I expect to be a little crisp around the edges.
Howard, (knower or all things), where is Tapia Park? And are there any fees to get in?

Posted by: Howard Dec 30 2005, 08:03 PM

Andy, go http://www.google.com and enter tapia park.

Then you can try TRE, Duke's Malibu, etc. It's a miracle!

Come rain, head to Howie's for BBQ. Got it.

Anyone want to ride shotgun? I'll probably leave Riverside at 7AM. I need a copilot/cameraperson.

I just got home and had a blast. I got broken off from the group about 4 times. Eventually made it to PCH and had a previous engagement at about 2PM so I didn't meet up with the guys at Duke's. I feel bad for those who were leading the packs, as they got CHiP'd and one lady was a bit over-zealos and ate a wall with her 996/GT2(?). That was a bad sight to see

Posted by: SLITS Jan 1 2006, 10:51 PM

Sorry we missed ya Brandon...I had left my phone in the car and got your message as I was leaving to head for home in the rain. At least I found out where all the leaks are in the teener.

Posted by: Brando Jan 2 2006, 02:18 AM

No problem Ron, Howie. I had a blast. I even went back and helped out that kid with the 924 after he ran out of gas. Well, helped him call AAA (no idea where nearest station was). The most fun was riding the bumpers of those Mini Coopers the ass-draggers were complaining about losing in the turns... The whole while thinking "C'mon, use the damn turnout..." See what happens when you hang with Ron too long?
