David, David, David...You can't come now? Was up? Wouldn't be the same without you. I heard a rumor we're going to have a warm snap on Nov 19th and it will be sunny and beautiful for the "Meet" .

Hey Steve - Is this "event" still on? If so, I am in.

Ralph - The only way this event won't happen is if there's a:

1) Nuclear disaster
2) 3 Feet of Snow
3) Earthquake in Rockville MD
4) Tornado directly hovering over the meeting spot
5) Hurricane category 5

Otherwise, we'll be there! Look forward to meeting you both then.

Is Mark going to drag his bones down to see us this time???? Which car are you bringing???

BS911

Hey David - Will you be in town for this?

Mark in Baltimore

David,

I'm going to try. The 993 still has a broken sway bar mount and mushy brake pedal issues from the Summit race, so my steed will be the 997, assuming I don't have to work. I've had to show properties out at the Eastern shore for the past few weekends, the 997 having been a most willing and swift partner.

Yes it looks as though I will be here........Trinitony is coming over on teh Saturday and we are goiong to prepare our cars for the Sunday.......

Mark
I thought this date was arranged for you!!! Hope you can make it......so you will be one of many with the 997 rather one of one with the silver beast ..... hahahahaha .... look forward to seeing the 997 but really prefer your 993.........

Broken sway bar mount? WOT.

Mushy brake pedal? My Motive has been at the ready for weeks...

Well, considering that the broken front sway resulted in lap time-killing oversteer and a sway end that ground itself into the hub, resulting in me pulling out of the race and missing the enduro, yes, it was a waste of time by all meaning of the phrase.

I also think my mushy pedal has more to do with a mechanical issue than a fluid one, but I guess we'll see.

What's the definition of OCD? Started to clean and wax the exterior and detail the interior this weekend. I won't drive it for an entire week just to keep it clean as I will be busy next Saturday all day working and want it to be as clean as I can easily get it for next Sunday's "Meet" .

So I checked Yahoo Weather's extended forecast today to see if it would be even half as nice as was today outside (78 degrees and sunny, shorts and sandals weather in November). Yesterday it said 40% chance of rain next Sunday. Bummer.

Not sure how accurate the 6-10 day forecast could possibly be but today it says only 10% chance of rain and 53 degrees. Not too bad for November if the forecasts holds true. A rainy "Meet and Ride" day would be pretty bad. Turnout would probably be 20% at best of what a sunny day would bring.

For now, it's cross our fingers and hope that Yahoo weather is correct.
I just upped the lunch reservation a bit just in case alot of people show up.

November 19th, Sunday

Partly Cloudy
High 53°F
Low 35°F

Precip. 10 %

By the way, I was pulling into a parking garage spot the other day that I don't normally park in and ran my front bumper up on that darn parking concrete block a bit. Would a front protection bar have avoided this scraping to my front bumper? Man I was pi**ed off after I did that.

Cheers,

Did the same thing today


Unlikely. But you would have felt when the bar rammed into the concrete block. I've added numerous scars to the underside of my bumper from the exact same maneuvers.

This drive is landing on the perfect day for me! I can't wait. It will also probably be the last time I have the car out with my current tires!
