Will be coming down. First event for me. '89 GT Black on Black. Was in storage for 14 years from a well-known (at least to me) owner. Looking forward to it!

I drive electrically every day now, and find it totally addictive. It will be odd to get back into the 928 again and "vibrate" and "scream" down to the event...

I need a quieter exhaust - might put the stock muffler back on.
Tesla or Volt?

Thanks. Looking forward to meeting folks and seeing more cars. I did get to meet Nicole when I ordered my sun shades as we work right next to each other and met up in the parking lot to compare cars!

I have been pounding my car down to LA and back, once a week. My debt to Chevron is over the top. I have to do it again this weekend as well, sorry to miss everyone.
Sometimes I go down 5 and others 101. I have seen at least 2 to 3 Tesla's on Hwy 5 every trip and a few have smoked by me and amazing speeds. They seem to be the "in car" in LA.
Maybe George and I can get one up to 200mph next September or we could buy a 918...

Have fun everyone....miss you all

Another annual event is a great idea. I'm going to try to make it, providing my clutch hydro sys stops being bitch and decides to work on Saturday.

Is it a bleed issue? Bill Ball had a reverse bleeder that fix this problem for me.
In my opinion our cars are bullet proof if it's screwed together right. If I can keep
running my car back and forth to LA on a weekly basis, my sponsor's (Red Bull and Chevron) and getting 19.5 mpg....
One thing which I think we all agree on is that if they sit in the garage for any period of time, everything starts to fall apart and dry up. With these long hours of driving, my car has never run better.

I agree, once you get all of the NPO stuff fixed. Yes it does, I also think there was a contaminated fluid issue. I just drained and replaced the reservoir now I have to bleed the system, but I need an extra foot.

How are you bleeding it? Remember it's the reverse from normal bleeding
