Lunch on Friday will be at Boulder Dam Brewing Company. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)
This weekend I plan to pre-run our Saturday route and determine if lunch will be in Kingman or Topock. |

QUOTE(VegasRacer @ Apr 18 2024, 07:57 PM) This weekend I plan to pre-run our Saturday route and determine if lunch will be in Kingman or Topock. The short answer is 'Neither'. Lunch on Saturday will be in Henderson at the El Torito Cafe.  I am glad I took the opportunity to burn a tank of gas, kill bugs and do a reconnaissance run. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) 1.) Most the road to Kingman is in poor condition. It was uncomfortable in the Cayman, and would have been brutal in a 914. 2.) Someone stole our plan and Rt66 Kingman/Oatman/Topoch will be clogged with a bike rally. 3.) There is no time and no good reason to include Needles. 4.)Because of what I learned, there have been modifications to our schedule and route. 5.) Most of you have plenty of driving to do on Sunday. We will now have more time to explore and enjoy Boulder City and the other interesting areas. Please see the first post on this thread for all the up-to-date information and schedule changes. *(Yes. This means Oatman Rt66 is out.) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) **(No. We will not be reprinting the shirts.) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/splat.gif) |

I'm starting to receive goodies for the swag bags. If you're coming and can bring stuff to add, that's great. If you can't make it, this is a way you can leave your mark on the folks who will be there. Send me a PM if you want to mail stuff to me directly. Time is short and the mailman is slowwwww

Went on Oscar's So Cal drive Saturday and it did not end well for me. Looks like I lost a front wheel bearing. The ride back to my trailer in Riverside was in the cab of a flat bed. Looks like the spindle did not get hurt, but I'm struggling getting whats left of the outer bearing off. Off to The 900 Series Porsche shop with the spindle to have them remove it. All that said I may have to cancel the RT66 this year, I'll be showing up in a Honda this year. Bob @bkrantz your still covered for trailer parking.

QUOTE(mgp4591 @ Apr 22 2024, 08:37 PM) Mixkinn, how many miles were on those bearings? Not totally sure, had them installed about 3 1/2 years ago (The 900 Series, guys that only work on air cooled Porsche's), so my guess is under 8-10k. Passenger side is perfect. I almost never drive with the top on and usually have ear pods in so if they were make noise I wouldn't and/or didn't hear it. I will be checking on a regular basis going forward, I have no excuses since I don't work anymore. |

I think I need some solid German food before the driving starts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge6.gif) I will be having lunch at Cafe Berlin (4850 W. Sunset Rd.) at 1:00 before the caravan. The restaurant is 2 miles east from the Gaudin dealership. Join me if you are able.

That bolt is fine and looks like you can file the edge and flip the washer. Kinda surprised the shop didn't have one.
I should have 4 washers someplace but not likely to find the hiding spot in the next 9 days. They're behind 20 years of new QUOTE(mxkinn01 @ Apr 23 2024, 10:48 AM) Okay Folks, I semi scolded Myself about taking a Honda or Toyota on this run.
