That special oil slick feature is how I kept all you guys behind me. Almost backfired when Radu came bombing up with the brakes locked up.

I did notice mine isn't leaking anymore and for some reason my oil level and pressure guages are both broken. Must be a fuse!?

sure Jeremy, I must have a the same fuse problem- My car is leaking also

My rear brake lock up is a trick I learned in my childhood behind the Iron curtain- It's psychological warfare intended to make the others want to stay away from you. Is it working?

Me too, and I'm going to try and bring Stevo in his Beemer although I don't think the guy he brought last time as his passenger will be joining us anymore.

Please re-state time and place ... I ride the short bus and need things stated clearly.

Thanks.

BTW Radu,

No oil leaking from my car while working on it in my parents garage Saturday. Although, on a slightly disturbing note, I found some oil in the top around the oil warning light switch. I replaced that stuff last year. Was hard to tell, I need to take the air box and elbow off to see where it is coming from. The never ending 911 project.

Dave

I wonder if "Paris" will give me a call

I went to Ventura and Laurel...I told you I ride the short bus.

I did do a run from Laurel to the 405 anyway ... that old road is HAGGARD. Time for some new asphalt.

It was a... uh-hmmm... spirited run today.
Chris brought his Cayman S.
Alex brought his Elise.
Kiley brought his "German Camaro"

Good times.

Yeah, we waited for a while, but you obviously weren't coming.
