My transmission upgrade will not be done in time!
I took a risk with one week before the drive, and I bet wrong. I forgot about the torque tube change out and it cost two/three day delay with shipping and ordering.

What do you have with wheels on it and a working transmission?

Mmmmm......
BMW 528.....that number is really familiar.
Was all over the bumper of one that couldn't get away from my busted motor Euro.......
Anything else that'll keep up with your California buddies?

OK, the weather is cooperating, as it usually does in CA. See you guys in the morning. Gather at 8:30. Leave by 9. Route is pretty simple, but I will bring maps.
Andre - bring the M. Anyone else with a broken 928, bring your other ride.

Brian and Andre - we were expecting you guys.
There were 5 of us at the ride - small but dedicated.
Weather was perfect, essentially no traffic, roads clear and VERY twisty! No mishaps. My car handled well. Love the BFG KDW2s. Here's a pic after Jaime had to leave us for another engagement.
Charlie, Bill (Charlie's friend), Matt, Paul.

Dang! I knew that I should have gone.
We don't have a 928 but a 964 C4 could have kept up.
Next time I'm just going to go.
I really want to meet the rennlisters in the area, no matter what they drive.

Fantastic run! It was great putting faces with names.
Bill B. – I tried to find the dead cylinder but that doesn’t seem to be the problem. No matter which plug wire I pulled to test there was impact to the idle. If I have time this weekend I’ll pull the covers and check the timing marks to see they are off.
