Hey gang...it's been a while!
So it was 60 here in Cleveland yesterday, so I cut out of work early to take the teener out. Got home, put a charger on the battery...cranked up the ass to change the oil...filled the tires with air...fired right up! I let it idle for about 30min to check for any leaks or strangeness. Nothing... I hit the road and put 60 miles on her...life is good! Just thought I'd let you all know. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Nice to work like a dog on it last year, and then not have to do ANYTHING to it this past winter. |

Yeah, the part I forgot about was watching the weather! I've got to run home at lunch and switch cars...it's going to rain like hell, and I forgot I still have leaks from last year....and I think the targa top is in the garage. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

I'm thinking about it. I may even drive the teener out. If I can get a decent teener caravan from Cleveland, maybe we can make a run of it!
I'll keep you all in the loop. |

The Stand...you got it.
Yeah, All winter I'd think about it out in the garage all cold and lonely...then just when I forgot how much fun it is to drive, I convinced myself to go get her out of the garage. Man...I missed that car. What a blast. |

Doug, you're back (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
I can't believe I missed this thread yesterday. I'm going to be back in Cleveland the week before Easter. We should try to hook up. |
