Couldn't find any place to reply officially to RSVP.
Am I missing something other than what's usually missing? I'll be there Jim |

See you there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

QUOTE(rick 918-S @ Nov 25 2014, 09:53 PM) Love Palm Springs! Let's see if we can get the car out of the snow bank THIS year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) You serious Rick? I got as far as St Louis last time. Thought it was the starter but I think in the end it was the voltage regulator. Sent me limping home in the daylight without any electrics going. BTW. It may not have occurred to the organizers but Albuquerque is at the far WESTERN end of Rt 66. To say nothing of coastal California, which for me includes Palm Springs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) I know - it is your party. Nonetheless, the title implies a more country-wide venue. I don't trust the car that far quite yet. Last year I did, but I'm not so sure anymore. When I completely understand how it works I will come that far. Have a blast! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Does Hertz rent 914s? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Does Hertz rent 914s? I have had to bail once. Tracked down some local SCCA car guys and left the car with them in Lincoln NE. Rented a car to finish the drive to the event and flew home from Denver. The next weekend I went out an rescued the car with a trailer. stuff happens. You have to be ready to roll with the punches. The first trip we took with Sandy's car was to Moab last fall. We lost the starter on the way home. I push started the car the last day and didn't turn it off until we hit the garage. Think about it this way. Will the car run until the next oil change? That is all your really asking of the car. Get in and drive it like you stole it.

Regardless, maybe Eric's little buzz through town will inspire a little more local help/participation and we (being the NM folks in general and maybe the Texans ... HINT HINT) will pull together and host another Rt66 sometime in the future. Always has been one of my personal favorite events! I can't be there this year, but hope to see some of the same peeps at RRC! Have fun over in Palm Springs you guys n gals! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

My wife accompanies me on the runs from time to time, but not often.I stopped in at Pelican this afternoon as well ... I picked up the brake reservoir hose (for the hydraulic conversion Kent is going to do on the 'BB') (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I mounted and balanced the set of new Kumho's onto a set of crappy looking ATS Classics last night. Gonna try to clean them up before the run (IMG:style_emoticons/default/FERG.gif) - but having fresh rubber was a must. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Biggest problem for us guys and gals up north is the weather. I think I have signed up for every one since the start. Last year we had 6' of snow in the ground 14' long in front of the place we store cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) This is the first Route 66 event we are able to attend and the earliest we have ever be able to get the car out of storage. BUT! it doesn't mean we won't get hit with a massive snow storm before next Tuesday... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) See ya all in PS!!!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I gave it my all last year, but didn't get very far. Mostly I am pissing and moaning. Not only am I not sure about the car, but the broken vertebra from snow shoveling hasn't completely healed, so there is some question about the driver as well. As if there ever wasn't.

Damn it's coming quick. I leave either Sunday or Monday. Still deciding which depending on work. Then a good long drive to Vegas. 4 days of standing on my feet on those damn cement floors. Then blissfully Friday we leave for Route 66 & Palm springs.
Hell we even have a good caravan. We've got at least 3 of us. John, Brandt, Myself & ??? Rick we meeting up with you somewhere? How about Wills & Jason? |
