I think I may leave Christine at home

Lots of work being done to Dad's (dare I say 'my?') grey car..

Engine is being pulled out, new gaskets going in. 007 Smoke screen kit is finally being uninstalled.

New clutch and gas cable, brakes, etc.. His brother is covering the cost of all the work, Dad has most of the parts.

you may want to relocate the fuel pump to the front
it gave him problems with vapor locking every year
and he would say he was going to relocate it every year... but then never had the time.

a good chance it will vapor lock and give you problems also.

And it will be less likely to get knocked off the car when going slightly off-road.........

Can we vote on that? I think I speak for most of us when I say that we would rather have her there.

Oh no you didn't........

Yeah, I was thinking about that but it's a little above and beyond for the scope of the work right now. When I get out of PHX it will be less of an issue but the 6 hour drive here from So Cal might have unintended musical and smoking breaks.



Oh Dad...

She's all yours, good luck

Man, wonder what that is gonna be like to not be such a rough and stinky ride.

Hey! I sense poking sarcasm there.

I'm not sure the oil leak had anything to do with the stench..

With her bike and a couple bottles of tequila!

getting the shirt orders finalized right now
contact me... or post in the shirt thread if there are any changes


Also,
still looking for a room mate situation for Melba
if anyone has an extra bed it would be very very appreciated

Justin , I recall he was pissed he got a flat and had to buy 2 tires...may need two more..check check triple check...

I don't know why your Dad thought the fuel pump was gravity feed,,
they are , but not like a lawn mower...

I have other options don't temp me.. otherwise its up to you and wade besides I'm tired...

My son Mike will be headed to Flagstaff from Phoenix on Thursday at some point and we usually leave Flagstaff Friday morning about 8. You are more than welcome to come along!

26 days! (I think )

Yeah, 26 days ...

Whose handling all the raffle gifts?

I have a couple of ideas for SLITS tribute if anyone is interested.

Please fire away... that way if there's anything we can bring from home we'll be ready!!

Me!

Also, I'll vote for Saturday since I'll be there.

Well I was thinking we could do something like we did for Howard. And that is Tie a yellow ribbons on to the antennas. Also was thinking maybe we could do a balloon send off after the awards ceremony. We could write some thing on the balloons if we wanted to.

Since I'm pretty new to 914 issues, what needs to be in a basic "road trip" toolkit for these?

Common wrench sizes?
Common sockets and extensions?
Anything specialty?

My favorite tool is AAA Platinum Card. I'm not a very good wrench.

Just hope you are with Brant if anything breaks - he has a complete spare car in his trunk.

nice
I will bring ribbons!

Justin, everything that was in the Grey Ghost should be what you need. ;-)

Hopes and prayers were not in there, nor were the strippers and coke.

Hey Jim, we haven't really been doing a raffle at RRC for a while. However, if you want to contribute something, I'd be happy to hold onto it until the Saturday dinner.

I'm booked for Fri and Sat night

Ok sharon, I will give the gifts for sat. dinner when I see you there.

If you have the following combination and socket sizes, you have 99% of what you'll need to deal with anything:
10 mm
13 mm
17 mm

Like Toast said, you probably already have everything in the car.

Think I might be out. Motor is completely f'd, and pretty much no chance to have it rebuilt/swapped out in time. Dammit.

I've got a running 1.7 if you need one... a little far to travel though.

Didn't Russ have your car at one point?

Hey Folks, the attendee list is in Post #2. Please let us know if:
a) your name is listed there in error (you can't make it)
b) your name is NOT listed there in error (it should be there but isn't)
c) what day's you'll be at RRC if it's not Thurs 9/8 through Sun 9/11.

I'm trying to get a decent count for meals.

Thanks!

You could just borrow Nelson's car.

Brilliant - he did say it was running great!!

Can we add SLITS as an Honorary attendee? It hurts not to see his name listed.

He's got it now...or just the engine. In lots of pieces. Apparently, according to him, everything that could have gotten screwed up during the engine build and installation (none of it done by me) was. Sending it off to a machine shop to see if anything is salvageable. Wishing I had the cash for a 3.2 install about now.

Sorry to hear that.

Keep us updated - even if it is after the event.

Attendance list:

Mike Moorman coming solo - Mary will be in Texas at our daughter's baby shower.

I will be at the hotel Friday night and Saturday night and departing the crack of dawn on Sunday.

Two Moorman guests from Durango (maybe as many as 3 cars) will be at lunch in Silverton only on Friday. I will know more after our Durango Porsche get together this weekend.

Well, 1/2 of him is going

I'm going.. Will be there Fri-Sat night, leaving by 1 on Sun.

I will be there thursday & leaving sunday. Not sure at this point if my daughter will be making the trip with me or not. So I may be lone wolfing it
