Thanks Derek, Everyone meeting @ 2:00 still?

yep.. 2:00

Derek, I was taking a couple of pictures for someone earlier in the week and decided to give a twist on one of the manifold barrel nuts and it loosened right up, as did a couple other ones. I have new gaskets, but I will probably just tighten up all the nuts this afternoon for tomorrow and deal with the gaskets this week.

Dave

got the new springs installed so I'll be there.

Tightened up the barrel nuts this afternoon, cut the plastic e-brake handle off and installed a leather e-brake boot. Hacked my airbox cover in two - Can we say whoosh at full throttle! I left the frame so I can secure the filter. I'll be there, but still may stall 1 or 2 times.

Dave

The Lotus can't make it. Oh well. Hopefully we'll have a good turnout today. (hint hint)

Another fun day.
Had some regulars, and some new people.
Kevin brought up some friends in the 3-series from OC, Kevin (Automotive Innovations) showed in the Turbo Corvair, and Joe Payne came over from Hollywood with his stripped down black SC.
Oh, and Jeremy Cottrell showed up all of us in an old Jetta.

BTW - Kevin and Joe... where did you go??? Saw you behind me as we came down to Studio City, then ???

Hey Derek,

I followed Kevin into the Starbucks parking lot from hell after a wait for traffic to pass, looked around and everyone vanished. I headed for the nearest restroom and jammed back home.
Traffic on the run was a bit of a bummer. Too many Sunday drivers.
Had fun though.
Nice picture of me pulling my butt out of my seat. Talk to you soon.

ok then. yeah, we went to the fox and hounds, so instead of a right on ventura, it was about half a block down on the left.

.
I lost sight of you going downhill into Studio City I forgot you guys went to the Fox and Hound so I went back to Starbucks. Noone there so we went home.

i looked back after i turned and i thought you saw where we went.
damn, sorry about that. :rolleyes:

Oh well, theres always next time.

This is where they make you park if you show up the whole damn crew in your watercooled VW.

That may be the last stand for the old Jetta. I don't think the automatic trans enjoyed that kind of punishment. She is not shifting well today. Taking very long to upshift!

Maybe that wasn't cooking brake pads that we were smellin!

Dude, You're car is a quick learner....she's got the idea yesterday. No shifting before 6K

hey Pelicans, it's that time again! Who's in for Sunday?

i'll be there, dude.

I'm still injured.

Radu did you get your leaks all fixed?

What leaks?......It's not leaking any more!!http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/clap.gif
