I am in. Car a little funky right now but should be sorted out by then. Blown front wheel bearings all fixed. Please start as late as possible as I need as much sleep as possible....please don't ask why. This age thing has just got to stop!! Looking forward to it and appreciate the high energy organizers. Thank you very much. What time does Newcombs open??? 11:30am?
All the best,

I've got some chance of making this but have a lot going on at work so it's really iffy, will let ya'll know
Last time I went up there Newcombs restaurant was closed but it didn't diminish the great ACH drive at all. (Just be sure to do your call of nature business before heading up the mountain...)

Not a bar, even if it’s closed, is about the drive and the friendship.
Eat at Panera bring water.

Just heard that we may not be doing furloughs but we will find out tomorrow. That is supposed to be our first day.

Don.t count on it. I.d bring something with and water.
I was just there. I am in escrow with my properties there! I am no longer a landlord in California!
Jensen.s is open but that is about it.
I.m going to take the old R66 route right before the 138/15 split as it arcs back to the 210 and avoid any traffic from Pasadena. Did it at the last WCR it was a really nice drive.

Jul 2 2020, 10:07 AM
So now it’s official that Newcomb’s will be closed, I will make the drive tomorrow to see if the parking area has been blocked off.
As far a meet time, I reached out to Matty900 to provide this to the group. Remember he is the one traveling so courtesy dictates we work as close to his schedule as possible.

if this drive moves to Sat AM.
Chucky will most probably be sidelined for upgrades, but I have options.

Thank you for the picture Greg....please post more. I finally got my car started and trying to nail down the root cause of the problem. I found the cold start injector up plugged with the plug buried facing downward so I don't know if that was the culprit. Runs and starts fine now but not going to leave the driveway just yet. Sorry I missed the fun. More pictures please. Thank you and if you have any ideas on my snafu do tell. All the best,

Thanks for letting the Minis crash the party, my buddy is fully gung-ho about a 914 now. Mission accomplished!
Only took a few pics. Jonny Lieberman was quite excited to see you guys because he has a 914 undergoing some sort of restoration now and posted a bunch of pics of your cars on Instagram. Check out @jonnylieberman
