I had a great time today, thanks to everyone that came out, you all made it fun for me. Great seeing some familiar faces and meeting new ones. Unfortunately, I didn't make any of the pix posted, I was hanging back with Howard waiting for the gas run. Apologies to everyone that got stuck behind my smoke... oil change yesterday and too much oil=oops!!! Can't wait to see Max's Pix, I should atleast be in one of those.

ahh, so that's the explanation. Unfortunately I was on your tail during the first part of the drive. When you guys zigged on Mulholland I zagged on Encinal and got some fresh air ;)
|
Yeah I blew most of it out on the run, had to take 2 quarts out yesterday after the change. I tell ya a 3.6, 2 oil coolers and about 30 feet of oil line find weird ways of hiding oil in the system, add to the fact that it's a '72 which don't have the most accurate dipstick readings, make it easy to overfill.

I don't think that had a hand in my copilot feeling off (I did too). That was courtesy of Yerba Buena. I flogged it damn hard up to the summit, and that was enough to leave us both a bit green around the gills.
|
So class, today we learned:
Don't trust non stock fuel gauge sending units Yerba Buena is Looooooooong Tommy's is the place for breakfast with its outdoor seating area And real friends 1] drive down the hill to buy a gas can, 2] keep you company while you wait, and 3] wait out in the middle of nowhere to take your picture. Thanks Guys! |

Todd, what happened to you and Philip. I didn't see you guys at Tommys. Did you break after Neptune's Net?
|
My copilot was getting cranky sitting around, so Philip, Kevin and I headed out from Neptune's before Howard got there. Once we got to feeling green I cruised down and Howard caught up (when I was trying to figure if going on Westlake was the right way. Then Philip came back the other direction. I got to Tommys, but neither Calvin nor I was up to eating, so we headed onto the freeway and back home.

Yeah, maybe I should have mentioned just how tight and twisty Yerba Buena is. I've never taken it downhill -- which would be scary. It reaches the highest point in LA county, I'm pretty sure. Nice views.
It also changes its name right before it empties onto Mulholland. I think the change comes where it crosses from Ventura County back into Los Angeles County. Sounds like I missed a fun run, unfortunately. When's the next one? :cool: |
Next weekend!!!! ;)

Max,
Thanks for the awesome photos. I looked back twice when I saw someone with a camera then I heard from the guys that you were taking pix. Chris |
Max, Great pix, thanks for doing it, we all appreciate it. Did you happen to capture the red 360 and the Silver GT-3 that passed by?

I drove by you three times there MAx - made a wrong turn back onto Mulholland and when I passed you I knew I was going the wrong way. All in all, I ran the route and showed up late - it was a blast and Yerba Bueane was a lot of fun - I don't know that I went very fast (don't like blind turns with bicyclists around) but it was fun. I really need to finish polishing my wheels... |
