Fixing my oil leaks....
Looking for help re: my chains and more

If this does not work, I'm going to submerge the engine in epoxy. That'll fix all of the leaks!!!

Alex,

Glad to see you are in. I think it has been since January since the group has driven together. Kind of like a family reunion.

Ok guys, just a few updates. I think the best planned meet point for us OC guys would be the 91/5 interchange at 7 am, leave around 7:15 once we have gathered everyone. General admission is at 8 am but the halls don't open until 9am, I think if we get there around 9:30-10:00, we should be fine. The drive to the valley will take us around 45 minutes driving a safe pace so if we meet you guys at 8:15/8:30 at the latest, we can head out from there. Remember we are driving on Sunday, September 9th.

Dave, if you have an address to the Starbucks, will you post it and I will chart our route from the OC.

I have driven my car once in the past 3 weeks so she really needs this drive.

Any questions/objections, please let me know.

Starbucks Coffee: Encino

It's on the corner of Havenhurst and Ventura. Only problem with that spot, is that there is no freeway onramp going West. Last year we met in the parking lot for Ralph's. Basically at White Oak and Ventura. Anyway, either place is fine.

91/5 interchange at the Fullerton Park & Ride, just off the 5fwy at Magnolia. Magnolia & Orangethorpe being the cross streets. 7 sounds good to me. Arrive before 7, & shoot the sheet for a few , leaving no later than 715. Let's try to get a list of who is meeting where ao as not to leave anyone behind!

Red 69 - it would be a PLEASURE for you and your's in your fine '69 to join us! You might consider giving your cell number to Chris (84P) by PM. We can give you a call as we depart the P&R, and we should be to the 5/605 within 5-10 minutes of departure... Or, you could always just meet at the P&R. We will likely be going 5 to the 101...

It's easy enough to go over to Balboa and then pick-up the westbound 101.

So, are those meeting in the SFV in agreement that we'll meet at the Starbucks at Hayvenhurst and Ventura, in Encino? If so, what time?

[PatrickB]

Hey Scott~ Might be a stretch, but the SOCG should be up there by ~8???

[scottb]

So shall we meet at Starbuck's at 8:00 with a "drop dead" departure time of 8:30?

Gostraight and I might be in on this as well.
I'll confirm later.
8:00 at Starbucks (Havenhurst) sounds good to me.

[craigyirush]

Will be at the Starbucks in the Valley Sunday am.

A note for you guys in the Valley, there is a little known west bound on ramp on Haskell. Thats maybe one block east of Havenhurst. Just turn toward the frwy. from Ventura blvd. A FUN 180 sweeper awaits!

[Pkaaso]

I'm in.

I think I got the rings seated well enough. Car is ready for a nice long run.

Paul

[scottb]

Do the OC guys think they can make Encino by 8:00 am?

[84porsche]

If the traffic is good, we should be able to - I figured a 45 minute drive at acomfortable pace. My guess is we will hit a little traffic and the 5/101/10 interchange but after that we should be ok. We will probably use part of that 1/2 hour window to leave the valley no later than 8:30am.

I'm planning on going up on Saturday. Not sure about Sunday. (Belmont Shore Car Show with Dad). So who's going up on Saturday?

A man with his priorities straight. I knew I liked you Ralph!

Don't let the show slide too much, I know of an '84 Targa that will probably be based there by next summer (keep those house prices depressed for me), and would like to join in then.

[scsteve1]

Hey Joe, I'm going Saturday early so I can leave by 11:00a.

[PAUL RODELO]

Hi Joe,

A group of us have planned to drive up early on Saturday.

See the link.

Who's driving a 930 to Ventura on Saturday????

BTW...that Belmont Shore Show is Awesome.
