The BAJA run - The Aftermath
What an amazing trip!
Breakdowns - none permanent. Accidents - none Policia - uh-huh! Jail ? Almost BUT we all made it back! More details later! A good time was had by all! James

Ummmm, let me guess, someone made a U-turn in Ensenada or some other silly thing like that???? Glad the trip went good and I bet the cars were a big hit?!

Speeding...
The Leader - Red Beard got tagged for 68 mph in a 90 kmph zone.. Of course I was doing 110 mph a minute before. We had to "leave" a guy at the boarder. He walked across. Immigration issues. Mike95125 is renamed smokey the gorillia. Had to fix leaking valve cover 4 times. Richard lost all power - Battery cable Had to push start Kevin a couple of times The Honda preformed flawlessly.... James

 The Laughing Buddha prays over his valve cover, hoping to excise the evil smoke demons.

 Kevin's Car contemplates going back to TJ or making the Run to Ensenada. With a little "push", it took the run.

 Waiting for Daniel and Chris - Just what were they trying to smuggle through customs? Special one time only offer by Customs - "Give me $195 and I'll let you through." Chris ended up "jumping and running" and walked across the boarder, no problem.

Yeah, the Honda's not the only one that didn't require any menchanical attention.
So, Rich and I logged about 468 miles. I'll have the pics and a few short videos up shortly.  -mike "Winner of the 2003 Socal Baja Run's most reliable porsche award." (Though, red-beard's car didn't have any issues I believe either. Musta been the wax he put on before we arrived.)

That trip looks AWESOME.
Kevin, your car is gorgeous. Mike pulled his valve covers 4 times on a smoking hot engine? That is hard core, man.
