Morgan we are glad that nothing more than the tire got damaged. Had it been a front you might have been forced off the road. Blessings in disguise.

It sure felt like the end of the world when the stuff was squirting out faster than it could be put in. It looked like John had been milking a Cow without a bucket.

Our prayers for Richards Dad. Please pass that on to him. There will always be another drive.

Morgan that was a great idea for a drive, something I would never have thought of. Yea, I think the longest straight was maybe 1000 ft? But it was a totally different type of drive, and just terrific.

The pictures would have looked even better with Richards green beauty in them. We'll get him in there next time. Keep us posted on his Father, thats some serious stuff.

Lets start thinking of another cool drive for the July meet, oh man would the coast sound good right about now or what? Maybe the high country? Lets hear some ideas soon! They just keep getting better!

The trunk is now restocked!! Heck I should keep a fully stocked ice chest in there too.........

Default FIX-A-FLAT!!! Don't leave home without it!!!

Hi All,

I hope all is well with Richard's Dad and please keep us posted on his progress.

Once we all finally caught up to Richard, Deborah, and Morgan, up at Bass Lake and after much confusion, Morgan and Cindy wanted to explore some godforsaken old paved logging road that was more suited to an Evo or Subaru Impreza WRC Prototype. Morgan said he felt bad that Rick and I had traveled so far for what was ending up to be such an uneventful get-together. So off we went up into god’s country, leaving Bass Lake, with Morg and Cindy driving like pursued criminals. Rick and I tagged along at a safer pace not realizing that Morgan was about to provide more than enough entertainment to make our trip worthwhile and more.


After what seemed to be too far up the twisty uninhabited mountain road we finally stopped for a break and a discussion about narrow blind turns, semi trucks, and medevac helicopters. We decided to head back down:


The theme for this get-together soon became “Fixaflat” as Morg’s right rear Goodyear was severed by a small twig half way down the mountain:



Fortunately between the four cars, we had a total of four cans of Fixaflat which got us down the hill but that was it. The gooey white “spooge” just couldn’t fill that big hole. Even Charlie was thinking no amount of this stuff was going to fix that big friggin hole! :


Happily gesturing with an empty can, we finally got Morg down the mountain:


Charlie, Morgan, and Rick giving the "sh!t happens" gesture:


"FIXAFLAT"! Don't leave home without it!!!


Thanks for all the excitement Morgan. You CVCC folks really know how to have fun! I can't wait for my next visit!

Hope all is well and talk soon, John

Default Thanks for the great pictures and commentary

John you have been elected club photographer. These adventure should be even more fun when Rick installs Webbers on his FIA. Thanks again for all your help. The Cobra now wears new rear rubber. Thinking of having a front tire mounted on a rim to use as a spare for these future adventures.
