41 days left

Booked!
I've signed up for a double just in case some CSOB like myself wants to save some cash...
I'll also be looking for a passenger seat as usual. Yes - the car is coming along slowly but surely.

Booked FRI and SAT nights. I don't think I can get there for the Friday drive, bumma! I should be there for parking lot shenanigans.

5 weeks and counting.

Final Warning. Only a few days left to get your order in for an event shirt. shirt order thread.

Chit, I forgetted. Uno extra largo, Señior. Anyone got an idea how we can get this thread highlighted? I've sent 2 requests to an admin! I could try making a Poitical comment to draw Clay's attention to this thread.

Highlights?! I loved that magazine as a child.

4 weeks to get your car ready...

Me too ! They had them at the doctors offices and hospitals.
Mom and I would read them while waiting for the doctors.

The Shirt Order Thread is Closed. This is the final art.

3 weeks

Thanks for the new grey hairs man

Spent all weekend on the car still haven't found the no spark/squirt problem. In the process of documenting every element of the conversion harness so I can redo the redo

Do you know any good mechanics?

You know, it's not a proper conversion without odd problems

Lesson learned.

I've been using the jump box lately, finally put in a real battery. Turns out the voltage was dropping below the ECUs minimum to operate with the starter engaged. Yay 911 starter

Still have a few big things to get done but it's promising.

Alright Chris!

Countdown 18 days....

Time to get the "Mother's" out this weekend & polish those wheels.

I haven’t seen my car for a month. Need to visit my SIL and bring it home. But hey, it ran when parked!

OKAY!!!!

I'm set, making my final arrangements to attend.

Looking forward to meeting up with you all again.


@olsib914 I've got a car waiting for you.

My trip to Texas this past weekend in the Bumblebee has put my attendance in question due to a starter issue...only have four days to sort that out.

Jump that thing Steve and come on out. We'll fix it in the parking lot 914 Style.

My co-pilot bailed on me so I'm looking for someone to split the room with.

I didn’t get a chance to predrive the Saturday route and so I’m planning to drive it Thursday late morning on my way to Lake Havasu. Let me know if you want to meet in Parker around 10AM and come along.

Starter replaced, just need to change the oil tomorrow...and get rid some of that Texas dirt

Countdown = 13 days

I'm heading west tomorrow morning...plan on arriving Santa Barbara Wed morning

Shoot me a PM if plan to be in Phoenix and want to get together.

Thanks, I'm planning on spending some time north of Phoenix on Tuesday, but you know how plans can always change.

So far knocking on whatever wood I can find has worked. Kingman, AZ tonight & Santa Barbara tomorrow afternoon. Frozen car two mornings in a row wasn't fun though.

Wow Steve....you've got us all beat on SEAT TIME!!!

Oscar

Steve, hope you're having a good drive. If you're going I40 to Cali, remember to stop at Topac for a BLT, on the way. About 7 miles west of SH95, (the turn-off to Lake Havasu City), on the west bound side. If not you can always stop on the way back to LHC. Just a thought, one of my favorite places to stop while in the area. Have a good time. Jon

The Saturday drive route seems a little unsorted. Having used Black Meadow Landing as a hideout camp and departure for many a SeeDoo excursion in decades past, I can tell you the road sucks and the route has many turns and twists that, if a boat trailer gets in the mix, the fun is over. 14 mph for miles of unseen drunks on the road in every direction.

Just a thought / always have two ways out at all times - and preferably cell connection / BML has none of that AAA backup. That road is one way in and one way out.

jBut, I will go anywhere.

just a thought....

And hopefully a certain somebody won't need to fill up 15 min's into the drive.

Sat drive is definitely unsorted. Having received no input until now I picked the route based solely on Google Maps. I plan to predrive it Thursday morning. If it really sucks we can head out to Oatman again or drink beer and hang out at the beach.

I will not make it this time, I have to head up to WA to pickup a GTO to bring back to AZ. I will be driving through on Sunday if anyone is still around.

What year Goat?

2006 6.0 liter with a manual. It's my dad's car and he is freeing up some garage space.

Part 1 of trip in the books. Arrived Santa Barbara 3pm. Having a drink or three at the reception party.

Way to go Steve. Wring it out!

ONE WEEK!

I made reservations for dinner on Saturday at 6. Javelina Cafe 1420 N McCulloch Blvd. We’ll order off the menu please bring cash if you can to make payment easier. See you in a week

Already hungry



Oscar

Well that's that.

Sorta good that I have a system.
The oil lite didn't want to turn off.
Drop the filter... no flow.
Reason... unknown at this moment, but with all the cranking I've been doing it would be a miracle if the bearings weren't damaged.

Now I need to decide how much I want to spend to get the bastard to WCR in 2 months. I will not be renting a Fiat

Countdown = 6 days

Hey Oscar: are you towing your car for this event? If so can you throw the seats and rails in the pickup bed and i will pay for your gas - both ways....

if not, no worries / i may return to California someday and sort it out then....

Is it too late to join in on the fun? I am thinking of flying in to Las Vegas and driving down to join for the weekend.

Never too late. Not sure of hotel room availability.

Cmon down. We’ll find you a bed if the hotel is full.
