Well, the weather did not cooperate but it does not stop Rennlisters....

I did not get in too many shots since I was busy with a whole day of BS'ing, wrenching and more BS'ing. We managed do a whole bunch of work including replacing a distributor belt, ISV cleans, steering rack bushing replacments, cap/rotor replacements, etc. Fantastic BBQ with Guy head Chef!

We started at 8:00AM and ended at 6:30PM....what a day!

Best of all was seeing all the fellow rennlisters, cathcing up and admiring all the great German machinery. I had the best time being able to play with my wrenches, thanks guys!





Cheers,

Mike

Mike...What a good time with old and new friends and great food as usual. You are right on the BS'ing...a lot of bench racing today. Thanks again for having us South of the border guys and your hospitality and thanks for the ISV flush lesson and help! We will plan on a Seattle area fall BBQ for you guys. It was fun seeing familiar faces.

What a day !!! Great to see everybody Dr. J great host Rob it was good to see your distributor overhaul . Randy your Iris Blue is beautiful , Shu your Arena red "S" is incredible I `ve driven my Cab in reverse more miles than yours have in total (19k miles) . Dennis the rain made your Polar Silver "S" blossom . Zack yet another Arena Red "S" your new exhaust tips sparkle . Hans
your Artic Silver C2 is a true contender in those Rallies . Louis your C4S has given some people Euro gears bug . Scot your blue 911 Dr.J said" let there be light" and now you can drive @ night again . Rich your "RS" (Richard Sanders ) 944 was the best looking 944 there and thanks for the help at the end with my seats, as my patience was wearing thin . Where was Dr. Feelgood red cab Danny ? My Cab was totally out number , before there was at least you Danny and Louis that I could count on to represent the "Cabs." To the other Rob the ribs were sure tasty !!!! . There were a few more folks James , Charlie , Dr.J`s friend and others , again it was great to see you all !!!

Cheers Guy

Cheers,

Mike

Maybe next trip we can complete the oil change...its much easier on the lift than on the ground. But if you have an oil change party at you house have fun!

Cheers,

Mike
