It's time for the Ortega Run. I want to change the meeting spot, however. It makes it easier on newbies to find us. The new rendezvous point is the Home Depot parking lot. The Home Depot is located on Lake Shore at the intersection of the 15 and 74/Ortega Hi way/Central exit, NW quadrant.
Let's meet up 0630, depart 0645. Make our run thru the pass. Have breakfast at Denny's at the Ortega/5 intersection. Then the return leg. Maybe Eric will tailgate the two wheelers again.

EDIT: I see that the WX man is forecasting the wet stuff for Saturday so keep an eye on this post for updates. It might by a Friday nite call. If necessary, the run will be bumped to the 26th.

Kent,
Sounds good! What day were you thinking about?
Cesar

Are you under your lift again Ceasar ? look at the title...Saturday, Nov.,19

Which one Al??

i am on it!! after a little
Dave

I'm in!

Dave you bringing the silver ghost?

Damn, Wish I could go... I have to fly out to St. Louis for a funeral unfortunately..

sorry to hear that Ethan, hope all is well.
Lou i am bringing the car, i only wish i could call it silver. thank god you cant see any part of the car while driving it....

I should make it assuming i have no work!

I should be in for this one too, unless I get off my @ss and start the brake project (see slackers thread)

Wow, 6:30am, with the time change that's going to be like sleepin in late!

Im in! Maybe this time my coil wont jump from the bracket and ground out the engine! HAHA!

Brian,
Is that what happened? I thought it was the hose from the PCV system that caused your problem. By the way, you are not the first person that has had the coil issue!
Cesar

Isn't this usually when Enrique proclaims he will "be there"?

I'll be there in place of him.

To tell the truth, It wouldn't surprise me one bit if you showed up Elliot. Now Enrique; well that's another story.

Nearly 2 months since his last project update and the engine was already in the car

Yes, closer inspection later showed that the coil had vibrated about half way out of the bracket, and one of the connectors was making contact where it shouldn't of been. One of the other guys that I met that day (Joe?) said to put some inner tube rubber around the coil, tighten it down and I can forget it. I was contemplating mounting the coil to the firewall but as long as it stays put, it shouldn't be an issue.

BTW, the hose is getting a clamp on it too! HA!

Fingers crossed!!

I will also make the effort to get up early and join you guys. Car still without an engine and Tranny but will bring the GTI.

I'll know by Thursday.

Well guys...this will be the first one I miss since moving to socal.

Work is sending me to the UK until christmas so no 914 action for awhile. BUT I'LL BE BAAAACK!!

I'm looking at going, any other Orange County teens going ?

see 1st post for WX update

Please bump it to the 26th! haha

Weather report this morning is showing rain Sat, Sun and Mon

Bump to the top for the DP'ers to read

So what's the call? Weather is ify...

Haha. I was looking for this thread on previous pages and here it is.
Anyway, I say go. Forcast is spotty if any showers. Chances increase as we get north of Orange Co and coastal areas. All in all it looks like it will hold north of us for the most part. That and we don't push it if the roads are wet. We won't get another chance this month. It just means I'll be in Whitey cause it has wipers Use your own judgement. If in doubt, park it. Otherwise, see ya'll @ home depot in the AM.

OK. Lew and I will see you there.

muchos gracias to good ole Cesear for the helping me get my valve train back on and adjusted unfortunately my car is not set up for any kind of water(no door or window seals whatsoever after all this is cali) so i wont be driving it. another passenger run for me car is actually running like a top though.. thanks Kent

My street is dry. Leaving in 15 min's

Sorry guys, had something come up last minute that I couldn't get out of...

Next time...

You should have been there Eric. We had a newer Carrera pull over to let us around (after tailgating him for 5 miles) The weather Gods cooperated with the forecaster so we had dry roads for %90 of the ride. Next run time to be posted this week. It will be Rice Canyon or Idyllwilde if we get a snow that makes it worthwhile.

Idyllwild!

Sorry i couldnt make it, i worked late last night and have another shift in two hours...

Just saw this.... I fail
