You are in direct violation of the Rt66 high jacking rule. If this kind of behavior continues, you will be dealt with severely. Uh oh! I guess I am as well. High jacking this thread I mean. Sorry I can't make it. Sounds like a good one.

Just checked the Wx forecast for Idyllwild. PERFECT! Nites=42-48-48 Days=72-73-73. Clear skies, 0% chance of rain!

Wow, Elliot - this would be the first time YOU didn't make one, wouldn't it?

He was there last week

Yeah, he's at the stage where he prefers a good parts meet over a drive with friends. Not really. You see Elliot is afraid his car will break down. That things is as reliable as a Texas weather forecast.

I'm not at all afraid my care will break down. I'm afraid it will break down and I won't be able to fix it.

People fix their own cars at this event? That's different from the others. I'd complain to the host about the rules

My car should be running Monday. Then I'm driving 5 hours away on Thursday. About 700 miles round trip. No pressure

Get your kicks on Route 6 6.

Are you bringing them with you?

I think it's that winery that boxes their wine for Walmart. Did you buy any for Rt66? See you stopped by to see Jimmy's last drive.....

I have room for the other one

You also had a much better day I went to the PickApart and got started on my farmers tan burn.

Sorry, I am not allowed to transport unregistered bunnies across state lines. Nine One Four.

It's big enough to probably belong to these folks. http://www.wonderful.com/who-we-are.html

Wrong again smart guy. I'll see you all tomorrow.

Next week?


I thought it was in Paso this week?

Elliot got the winery right.

Sunday bump.

Hey Jimmy, Are you staying at the usual place?
Are you driving or trailering?
9:14 am Thursday morning caravan departure?

Only a 6 hour drive with lunch, room won't even be ready yet for a nap

Unless there is something cool to do to kill some time besides get ticketed?

We could grab breakfast first?

Any AZ peeps?

Do we have a neato lunch spot?

I'll be driving Thursday from Phoenix but will be leaving early and stopping about 1/2 hour short of Temecula to visit my brother for a couple hours. It doesn't look like our routes will cross until Riverside so not much sense trying to meet up before the hotel in Temecula.
Who else is driving from/thru PHX?

Delia's Grinders on University in Riverside, is one of my local traditions. They make this kind of semi hard crunchy bread that is awesome. They are known for there ham grinders with oil on them.

The shirts have arrived.

Brady, Jamie, Joe, Mike and Rick: Your shirts will be in the mail tomorrow.

There is 1 extra shirt, size Medium available. First one to post gets it. $30. Sold.

Thanks JP - awesome job - can't wait to wear it, especially at Red Rock Classic this year!

I'll take it

The shirts look nice, John ... looks like 356 caliber apparel

I'm headed to LA on Sat so I'm planning on making a stop at the hotel in Idyllwild around 5:30-6.. I don't have a lot of time to stay but I'd like to see some of you even if it is for a half hour or so.

Would like to have made it this year but I am in the later stages of completion on the conversion and do not want to rush anything at this point.

I recieved Perry Keihl's work of art in the harness bundles and detailed instructions to mate the MSD to the harness and to the engine etc. Taking the shroud off of a 911 engine in a 914 after installation of the carbs, linkage, block off plates, bla bla is a real treat... just to get at the three wires that go to the back of the alternator....

Have fun and send out pix of the meet.

See ya maybe in a couple of years Forrest.

That is Beautiful Forrest!

Yep, may see it @ Rt66 2019 because he is banned from 2018 for Photo Bombing the current Rt66 Thread with his personal project.

When will I be able to attend another run?

Couldn't get the 914n6 running in time. No sparks or injectors firing so I must have missed something on the wiring or fried the ecu.

Good news I get a comfortable but slow ride with a great stereo and heater with plenty of room for all the raffle goodies I'm gonna win

2 days.

Leaving tomorrow morning, I'm ready to go.

1 1/2 days.

Guys and Gals........

I may not be able to attend this years R66 gathering due to the absolutely bitchen solar cell conversion that only I am performing on my 914.

Even though I haven't figured out the exact details of my conversion I am still waiting for a bitchen wiring harness to my polished aluminum microinverters from Jeff Bowlsby.

Due to some other alternative facts, I may be able to actually remove the panels and drive the car with the original motor that was engineered for it by NARPters known to have hung out at the time with the so called man named Ferry...er something like that.

Please see the attached pictures for your drooling pleasure.

If you put a panel on the rear truck lid also, the two panels will be the equalivant of a 1.8.....

Don't need to. Those be 325 watt panels....Solarworld...made in Merica.

The one panel is worth more than a running 1.7 I notion.

See ya guys up there...need to tighten the alt belt me thinks and sounds like, if I ditch the solar panel. It did fire right up.

Think I better put the wine bottle down and go to bed now. That Paso wine is pretty darn good. I'll bring a bottle with.

The big drawback with micro inverters is that they're only grid-tie - no battery back up when the grid goes down

Have you looked into the Tesla Power Wall? ... http://www.energysage.com/solar/solar-ener...l-home-battery/

Looks like my annual SCE bill will be a tad over $200. this fiscal year

Remember to bring the GO Pro's if you have one. There will be appx 4 hr's drive time in the mountains with lots and lots of twisties. A few strategically located cams within the line of cars could result in one Hell of a video once edited down to 5-10 min's.

Mine arrived today!

Looks AWESOME!!! Thank you

Good news bad news. First the good, I just sold my engine as a key step in the journey I am already well onto installing my 911 six 2.7 Ltr. Now the bad, I will not be able to attend "Route 66". I have a reservation ($174.90) at the Silver Pine Lodge for night of Sat. 22nd. Will not cancel until later today making it available to another Teener.
