Richard--yup, take him out and direct him to an area to take care of business.

Took him to the vet and he got a clean bill of health. Starting the heartworm regimen now.

I tried to bleed it (weird procedure. They made the clutch system use the brake master reservoir and the clutch system has no return spring. As a result, you connect the bleed nipples of the clutch slave and right front caliper and pump the brakes to bleed) I disconnected the supply line for the clutch master and dropped it in a plastic bottle. What came out was closer in consistency to water than DOT3/4 and had the appearance of well used motor oil...then it froze up entirely. New slave and master will be here wednesday, along with new radiator hoses, thermostat, oil filter and air filter.



So you bought a new drag racer right. 0 to 60 in under a minute?

Thanks Glen. The computer guy told me he couldn't read on a running computer so I guess it's gone. Nothing earth shattering on it but had lots of pics from the last couple of years.

Should I be saving them on a flashdrive in the future?

i have a bit of experience recovering hard drives. if you are willing to send it to me, i will give it a big try. i like that kind of challenge.

does the hard drive still spin up? how did it get corrupted?

I was going for humor! ;)

I have been watching the F1 practice. Practice 1 and now P2. They said they were going to show P3 but I don't see it on my DVR.

The alternator in Mrs Noah's minivan is on its way out, so I ordered one online and have been waiting for the past two weeks to put it in. Finally got the part this week, went to pull her van out of the garage this morning...and the battery's dead.

OK, There are overhead cabinets which prevent me from Working on it where it sits in the garage, and the configuration of the driveway is such that I need to steer it out to avoid a fence while backing out so I can't just push it straight back. So lemme pull out the 911 next to it and just roll the van back 4 feet to work on it in the garage.

911 battery's dead, too.

At least I can push the Porsche straight out into the driveway and not hit anything.

RKDinOKC 10-22-2016 10:06 AM

You are more determined than me. Would have just put a charger on it and gone on to something else till it was up enough to fire it off.

It's a real conundrum figuring which to put the charge on first though.

Put the Cayenne S on Craigslist last night. See Here

Within 15 minutes got 2 different texts from some scammer's robots asking if sold yet and to gmail them. One even said something about being in the military and the use of their phone was restricted. Could easily tell because the texts only came to my iPhone and real texts come to all my devices. Replied with my email, the spam filter will tell me what country they actually came from if they reply.

No real hits yet though.

RKDinOKC 10-22-2016 10:24 AM

Oh boy... This was in my spam filter... it was from a gmail server in Finland...in comic sans no less.

​Thank you for getting back to me.Can you assure me that it is in good state and that i will not be disappointed with it i read the conditions as stated on the advert,and I'd like to have a proper look of it, but I may not be able to come for inspection and pay you by cash due to the nature of my job and current location , the issue is I'm with the US MARINE and I'm not in my own state now I'm at the Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia and use of mobile phone is not allowed at the military base . But I'm able to access my email anytime as we do make use of laptop so my only and quickest payment option is PayPal as i can send money via PayPal anytime.Since I'm requesting this transaction to be done via PayPal I'm willing to pay what is good for you Thx (Mason)............

The text I replied to had a 5 digit number. This means it is a computer generated text not an actual phone.
When I get text notifications from Walgreen about my prescription being ready it is computer generated and comes from a 5 digit number.
If he had a laptop why didn't he reply to the Craigslist ad using email link on Craigslist instead with of a computer generated text?
Would think a US MARINE would have a better command of the English language and punctuation.
And would a Marine say the were a Marine and not "I am with the US MARINE."
Bet this was composed by a robot as well as the text.

You shouldn't be burdened by that extra car. Here's what I'll do: To save the shipping costs I will fly out to CA and take it back to MI where it will spend a nice life with me. This will solve your issue of not being able to get to the van. Win-win for all!

You are welcome!:D

Stijn!!
 
We had a great car show. A new picture of my car. Not that old green car, the reflection in the paint. ;)

The AC was working great on the trip home.

Send it. He is an alpha nerd or king geek. And brews some pretty good beer to boot.

yup, mine is an 83.

I've been drenching all of the pertinent bolts in PB blaster twice a day. Once the parts get here, I'll hopefully get it all done in an afternoon. Then I have to unfuch the stereo that some imbecile kinda wired in...

I'm closer and I can be of service, too. You'd even have visitation rights. :D
