Brunch Run Saturday Oct. 21
Since I worked so hard to set up the Coronado Trail Run and didn't get to go, I'm working just as hard to set up a make up run on Saturday QOt. 21 for lunch at Lupe's at Oracle Junction. Leave the Chevron station at us 60 and Idaho Rd nice and early on Saturday at say 10:30 and run to Superior. Turn south toward Winkleman on 177 to the intersection at 77. We can add fuel and use pottys as necessary. Proceed right (west) on Az 77 and run to just past the intersection at Az 79 (Florence hwy) to Lupe's Cafe. Anyone from Tucson who wishes to join in can meet us in Winkleman. After Lupes, we can split up and either go back to Phoenix via I 10, Florence Hwy, or back to Tucson via best choice. Hope to see everyone on Saturday.

Sorry Mike...Rob, get a faster wrench and a bigger hammer. Hope you make it. Where Are the two Chevette guys? Y'all know PV Squatty and I Da Ho Karlos? Don't know how to behave without some kind of flack from one of them.

Previous engagement. Have fun!
|
I'd like to go but can't commit. Still in recovery from last 2 runs. :JEKYLHYDE
|
You must be gettin old Scott.. What happened to "I wanna drive.. I wanna drive"?
|
I'll probably be following in the Corvette. Mrs. Sweetness will be out of town and if she forgets and leaves the keys, I'll sneak the car out.
I'll bring gloves and bags to pick up the parts that fall off. |
Not gonna be able to make this one Dan.

Well... No Lupe's run for my car.
I got it running right again (it turned out to be a misfire caused by a bad spark plug, of all things- a bad spark plug :JEKYLHYDE) But, I noticed a shimmy in the steering during my test drive, and when I got under there to take a look I found that one of the big bronze bushings in my steering rack was all hogged out, and the rack was really loose inside there... :CRY: HOWEVER, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that an entire, brand new MGB steering rack for my car was only $220, including shipping. I was all puckered up, expecting it to be $600-$800. So the new parts are ordered. Not happy that the car has to sit for another week or so, but VERY happy that I'm not broke, either. :3DSMILE: |
The Cobra Gods are not my friends this year. I took the car out for a drive yesterday in preparation for tomorrows run. Got two miles from the barn and it began sputtering and smoking and bucking. Then it quit. I managed to get it started and limped home. I had a lunch date with some friends from California so did not have time to work on it yesterday. I'm going to try to find a distributor gear or a distributor today. If that does not work, I don't think we will make the make up run that Adriana and I were both looking forward to so much. I wonder if the Gods are trying to tell me something.??

Man, broken cars are the common theme of 2017, it seems.... :CRY:

Dan: The Tucson Classic Car Show is that same date. The Tucson Cobra Club is going up Mt. Lemmon on Sunday at 9:00am for brunch at the Iron Door. Sorry can't meet you guys at Lupe's
