Well, we posted right at 275 miles and really had a terrific time! I think I won the bug contest, but they are all history now. We left at 7:15 and got home around 4:30.

Charlotte and I also had a really good time. I logged ~240 miles.
Great people. Great route. And Great weather. What more could you ask for. Thanks for everyone that helped put this together. When's the next one **) David |
Man am I tired. I should sleep well tonight.
After we left the pack for Rockwall, the shifting started to deteriorate. By the time we arrived home, the clutch stopped working and I had to pull it in garage in 3rd gear. I guess between the heat build up, and the clutch installed in November settling in, it's time to adjust the slave & fork. I let the car cool all the way down, and she peed all over the garage floor. Looks like the upper radiator hose at the radiator fitting is the culprit. I head to Texas World Speedway on Friday, so it looks as if I'll be under the car one night this week. Great idea Jim W., and excellent at point Larry. It looks like Yancey and I are each going to invest in some BOSE noise canceling headphones. They worked like a charm, and I have no ringing in the ears, even after 200+ miles. Thanks to all who participated. |
Great drive...I enjoyed myself.
Got back home about 3:00 since we got caught behind some slow moving bikers! How do bugs find all those places to kill themselves...sheeze!!! I'm with David whens the next trip? matt |
sneezed another zillion times on the way home... eyes red and itchy, and my voice is funny.
as far as i know, i didn't eat any bugs. the windshield, hood, fans, scoop and anything else facing forward seemed to offer themselves as sacrifice so i wouldn't inadvertantly get any extra protein!! :eek: great time. yup, when's the next one???? :D |
What a great idea, and great weather for it. We had a great time along a scenic East Texas route. I'm definitely in for the next one!
Here's Kristen following me (I followed her later) http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...Cruise_002.jpg Here's me following Steve..... http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...Cruise_001.jpg |
What A Great Time That Was. Perfect Temperature, No Sun, But Some How One Arm Got Sunburned. Since It Was The Left Arm It Might Have Been Wind Burn With The Speeds We Were Going.
Nathan's Car Did Great With The New Engine We Finished Putting In The Night Before. One Little Antifreeze Drip From A Freeze Plug Was It. What A Way To Break A New Engine In. The Oil Pan Sits Kinda Low So Nathan Was Pretty Busy Dodging Turtles. Hey Jim In Those Pictures You Posted Was That Girl Taking A Picture Of My Butt? Thanks To Everyone That Put It Together And I Can't Wait Until We Do It Again. |
Dittos on a GREAT DAY!!!
When we got home the passenger door opened & we ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER the damn door wouldn't open in Paris. Lots of bugs, loads of laughs, & let's do it again. How about a cruise to Waxahachie or to Bridgeport, Decatur with a lap around the new Eagle Canyon track? |
Waxahachie. :)
|
Nathan just needs to get that car setup so he can follow Kristen's recommendation.
STRADLE IT! We determined that's why she has so many kids :) Had to do it Kristen..sorry..remember Stradle that Turtle :D Matt |
Man..............WHAT A DAY!! As tail gunner I could see everyone (most of the time) and what a great sight it was. Little 22 run perfect all day and also collected a large bug display. Really fun trying to keep up with Matt on the way home (he likes bikers). I had a blast and wouldn't take anything for the day. Thanks to all of you for being a part of it.
P.S. Special thanks to Jim W., Steve and Larry.........You did GOOD |
Or, how about something down around Granbury, Glen Rose and Cleburne?
