The Cat's Meow?? No, I thought it was the Bee's Knees! At least that's what Cole Porter told me. Anyway .. yes, I'd agree .. truth be known .. it's easy because it's aerosol and smells like oranges .. other than that, even some mineral spirits and a wire brush will work just as well .. and I suspect even just hot water and a LOT of elbow grease will do the trick!

Hi Mike
Sorry the date conflicts with a elopement party and I can`t make it . I ran into Tony from Galiano Island and he had not heard about this event . So maybe you should post it on Pelican`s forum .

Cheers Guy

Hey Mike I was just told by Charlie and Al this weekend (at John Walkers Swap meet) that you are putting this on. I'm the black Targa from Galiano that has been to your event couple of times. Is there time to do a brake fluid change? Your set up is SO sweet, I just have to ask. I'd be in for cleaning the bottom but since I live with a long dirt driveway I may have to shovel before power washing...LOL.

Sorry, I am attempting something different this year, and so the shop will be setup for washing - that means plastic will be up and things will be wet - so no mechanical work. The guys can do something small on the side if they want, but the lift will be tied up.

However, just contact me via a PM and I am sure we can arrange something when you are in town.

Cheers,

Mike

Mike, I will be up for the event, so let me know if you need any parts aside from the belts and filters that I already have. Anyone up for a group drive up via Chuckanut Drive?

I'll takes some underside cleaning, but it will only need a light one.

Did you get my PM about the other stuff?

Ok, will put you on the list. Not sure about the bagging, you mean speeding tickets? I have been really busy and have not driven the Turbo for a few weeks.

Nope - just checked. Mike, send it again.

Cheers,

Mike
