PDX Beers and Burgers second Wednesday every month

Very nice 'Merc'. That would be a nice driver on these sunny summer days.

Performance: Just remember it's not the horsepower number, it's the power/weight number. When I couldn't afford the work needed on my engine, I took a couple hundred pounds of weight out of the car. Later when I could afford the engine work I ended up with 9:1 without getting crazy in the engine.

first question - in the engine bay on the pass side by the firewall... do you see colored spaghetti?
this should be one of the ones with vacuum actuated heat and AC. If so, just assume youll only want to drive it when windows up or down are enough cooling/heat for you lol
that vac manifold is a killer, and then it just runs to a dozen different vac valves throughout the dash...

[Eric Hahl]

Yeah, she's not fast down low, that's for sure, lol. Fun cruiser though.

Depending on how you look at that, it means it's either "free" or comes with a 30 year mortgage.

Lol

Secret's out I guess.
I joined a long time ago when I was in Louisiana.
Did lots of auto crossing, club racing and Parades mostly.
Have not done a Parade since 1998.....blame it on the "ex."

One day I'll get a bit more active again hopefully.

Greetings!

It's coming up on the 2nd Thursday of the month again.

Who's up for meeting? Forecast looks good, and there is plenty of outdoor seating. Harry and I had a nice chat last month.

?!?!?!?

Garth:

Was great to see you last month. Hopefully others will chime in.

I Can't make it this month. In Ground Night School with CSCC for my Friday HPDE.

[skinnerd]

Won't make it. My postponed knee procedure is on Friday at 7:30am. I'll be hitting the sack early Thurs.

Hope it goes well. Where is the machine shop you are using for the work?

Ha
Providence Hospital off Glisan and about 48th I think.
Must be NASCAR trained, as I'll be back home before dinner.

[Doug&Julie]

FWIW I'm probably out of BnB until...well...vaccination.

Good luck with the knees Doug!

[Jim Horton]

I'm out due to work commitments this month, but I would like to bring El Jalapeno out to show you all next month. Don't think I will stay and eat (maybe a beer, though)...

Hope it goes really well. If it was me, I would pick a cute PT therapist as you will be seeing her for a long time. Do all the stupid exercises.

Nope. And I plan to keep it that way...

[pdxfj]

Guess we will try for next month.
