Sunday shake-down cruise to the Rudder room

Chrysler/Fiat Performance Representative aka David holds a parking lot sermon for the inauguarl outing of Vince's VS. It looked great but we could not stop on the loop through the mountains because he was afraid local goats would try to rescue their deceased relative's skin adorning the interior of his car. Humans all gave thumbs up though.

WOW
SOUNDS LIKE I MISSED OUT ON A GOOD TIME
JOHN WHAT IS THAT LAWYERS NAME IN THOUSAND OAKS
IM GONNA LAUGH MY ASS OFF IF IT IS THE LADY WE KNOW

Gerd... I'll tell you when I see you. She was driving a silver 500SL if that narrows the field.

Anyway - two flatbeds in one week, and the car hasn't fallen off once.

Vince - thanks. Always good to get a recommendation locally. See you soon.

OK SO THE NEXT EVENTS ARE PISMO WHICH I CANT MAKE
AND BLAKES BIRTHDAY BASH ON CATALINA WHICH I ALSO CANT MAKE
WHAT ELSE IS UP FOR THIS SUMMER
WE SHOULD DO A GROUP DODGER GAME NO CARS JUST A BUNCH HAVING FUN

During lunch at the Rudder Room purchases of GPS was discussed. I did some research on line and found this unusual notice...(:-)

Gerd: You Are going to provide the San Francisco jerseys Right?????

What a day and what a tub.. Vince's super wide body is awesome, and the car isn't that bad either... Great turn out for a half-day run up the coast.. except for the "getting lost" thing unfreaking believable... Tri-tip sandwiches are ALWAYS good and GERD actually bought me a beer. This was a super day... All we gotta do know is clear up the skies over L.A. and were set...

GERD, thanks for the bra attachments, I'll try them ASAP...

Hey guys, great day yesterday! It was a bummer we had to peel off early and didn't even make it to the rudder room. It was great to see you all and get the Speedy out.

John, here's a few pics of your day...

Jen,

Thanks for that - I knew it wouldn't go uncatalogued. At least I was sitting in the driving seat, not pushing the car... Thanks Blake, thanks Jim.

Weird thing is - it started last night, after getting the car back on the flatbed. It's a strange intermittent ignition fault, as it wouldn't start again this morning. Will get on it this week.

THEM DAMN FOREIGN CARS. :)

Sorry to have missed this one. Johnny, here is some information about coil compatibility with electronic ignition. http://www.ratwell.com/technical/BlueCoil.html If your new coil is not correct it can cause failure of your Pertronix or Compufire electronic module in the distributor. Just a thought to help troubleshoot your no fire situation.

Guys, Thanks for helping John out. I still have feelings for the car and called and talked to John for 15-20 minutes. I hope you wiped the finger prints off the paint!

I hope to see you all in June.

Dale

John,
Check the connections on all the cables to the distributor and to the coil. I had similar problem which turn out one of the connector was not crimped well enough causing intermittent connection.

Good luck
Eddy

TAKE VINCES ADVICE
SEE HIS MECHANIC, YOU REALLY DONT WANT ALL THESE VS OWNERS PUSHING AN IM IN MORE PICTURES. HELL HENRY WILL PROBABLY PAY FOR THE FIXES TO ELIMINATE THE PICS


WHATS THE ATTORNEY'S NAME

You can pay me NOW or you can pay me LATER...

Just do it .... RIGHT!

For the right price, I'm sure I can make these pics disappear ;-)

Jen..I'm thinking we blow that pic up of the Vintage guys pushing the IM and give it to Kirk and Mary for their office

You guys bustin my builders stones? That car is 10 years old and needs a tune up. I got to give Kirk and VS their dues. I drove my car to Tail of the Dragon and Carlisle without a hiccup. I was Vibrating like something out of an Adam and Eve catalouge, but I did make it home. Party on Wayne...

Party on, Garth...

Mioprimo, yeah why...

Shoot I am over 50 years old, have had 4 heart attacks, get up 3-times a night to piss and currently on medication everyday and I STILL made the run!

10 years and a tune-up... give me a brake...GEEZ that anit SH#T

BBBBAAAAAA HHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Uh Dave, the ten year thing was a joke, but, I am glad you can have heart attacks, piss alot, take lots of medication, and still drive your speedy.

Marty
Tread carefully
David is one focken crazy Mexican
Dusty outlawed him from morro bay after he outdrank all the canadian boys two years ago and all they were drinking was Canada Dry
That is a great pic of u and Sandy

I like em I little older Gerd, that was my neice.

OK Marty, I take 3 of you and the niece and half a dozen of the wife on the bed.....

Marty, take a a breath... LOL.. (that's a joke too) that's what I took it as when I replied and added the BAAAHAAA laugh at the end..

I thank you for your clarification here...

and yes of course we were busting your builders chops here... that's what we do...

P.S. Listen to GERD he is a wise man!

BAAAAAAWAAAAHAAAAAAA

Ok my Mexican brother! My mom is Garcia by the way. I am the only Polish Mexican I know(beside my brothers:)

No worries Mi Primo...

My dads mom was a Garcia also. I'm sure they're a few Garcia's still around... Now as for the Mex-Polish mix... As you stated earlier... You are my first too! too funny... With a bloodline like that you gotta have a thick skin growing up in Chicago IL...

Stay righteous!

Speedster "D"

U F'N MEXICANS GET BACK TO WORK

Not to bad Dave. 20 years ago I was an anomaly but now we are overrun by Mexicans and Polish/Eastern Europeans. No one used to be able to say my last name and now I get business calls daily from the Eastern Europeans and they say my name perfectly. I have nothing against the different nationalalitys and cultures. The only difference is that today they all try to cheat or short cut the system. It just drives me crazy.

My Grandpa ran with Poncho Villa in the early 1900's. He was acctually Spanish and his wife was American Indian/Mexican born in NM. They had a farm in central Mexico. Then he migrated over legally to work the mines. He had 15 kids and all the men served in the US Military. They all raised families here and have kids working and running businesses here. True story but I wont bore you anymore. Gerd, I am on siesta.

Marty---we are definitely a "mutt" nation and proud of it--right?

I am half English and half Italian. My Great Grandfather who was 100% English from Darbyshire married Victoria Raggio. That's a pretty odd blend---but I think you have me slightly beat.

Back to Vinny's shakedown cruise.

Hey Jack...Shake this down...

I CANT MAKE IT

Sounds like business as usual with this bunch. Never a dull moment.

Sad but true, Warren.
