OK MIkiec, what IS the status of your transmission ?

mikiec · #42 (**permalink**) 02-26-2008, 09:53 PM

Supposed to be ready this week. If it is I'll install it on Saturday.

I've been out of the loop for a while and would like to know if the Globe cruise is still on for april 12. Hopefully my radiator will be in because I am really looking forward to making it and meeting some of the guys who are in the az club. Not only the cruise will be good but ice cream is always better when someone else buys. The last time I checked Tucson money is as good as anyone elses.

024, The trip to Globe is still on, last I heard. Keep an eye on the AZcc site to see where and when we'll hook up. I might take a drive up the mountain to scope out where we all might want to meet in Globe. I doubt that the folks puttin on the show would want a bunch of gate crashers taking up their parking spaces, when we haven't given them their registration fee. We just might happen to cruise through their show, if for some reason there's a traffic impedance, forcing us to go that way.

Hey Karl, Are we going to crash the car show or participate in it ? I'd been under the impression that we'd get in the show and donate a few bucks to the Fire Dept. The Tucson guys will meet you guys along Hiway 60. Lonestar 024, you don't have to rush getting that radiator in. Take your time, in fact we may be able to come over after the Challange drive and help you install it.

I appreciate the offer, although I'm afraid that if I miss this cruise, and the phoenix group just happens to be 1 car short, I don't think I could live with myself. At this point the only thing that could stop me from being there would be if U.P.S. went out of business and didn't deliver my parts.
Also I have to decline the extra help as I have plenty from the banjo player. Ha Ha.

Hey Lonestar 024, Your radiator is being delivered by Dale Jarratt ( UPS) and he is presently in 29th Place at Atlanta.

You sound like a fun guy. I'm looking forward to meeting you in Globe.

Dan, I think I might have talked Gordon, out here in Maricopa, to pull one of his cobras out and join us in Globe. So you can count on at least 1, possibly 2, more cobras that John is going to have to find in Tucson. Good luck John.

024, you are right about John, he is a fun guy. Very enjoyaboe to watch him pass out the DQ money. He really has fun then.

Gee 024.. Does Gordon really have a Cobra..?? ...besides that green one that sits in his yard? You would think if he really had one, he'd show up to some events occassionally.

Hey Gordon, do you REALLY have a Cobra? Bring it out and show us..

Gordon Levy · #51 (**permalink**) 03-10-2008, 09:15 AM

How do I get dragged into this?

mikiec · #52 (**permalink**) 03-10-2008, 09:56 AM

No one is safe.....

Danr55 · #53 (**permalink**) 03-10-2008, 10:27 AM

and nothing is sacred.. Some of us are just luckier than others (to have friends like Lonestar).. Com'on Gordon. Show yourself so we all know your still around.

Gordon Levy · #54 (**permalink**) 03-10-2008, 11:30 AM

If I'm not racing somewhere, I will be there. I have 3 cars here and can bring any one of them.

John-Tucson · #55 (**permalink**) 03-10-2008, 05:16 PM

Gordon, I think that there is a race that day. I hope that you can make some other event with us later in the year. (TEEEEEE HEEEEEEE HEEEEEEE) PS. I'm just funning with 'ya.

Scotty C · #56 (**permalink**) 03-11-2008, 08:51 AM

Gonna have the car checked out .....have not had her out in awhile.......clutch slave cylinder is seeping. She is chomping at the bit. I hope to see you all soon........

John-Tucson · #57 (**permalink**) 03-11-2008, 08:54 AM

Scotty, is that really you ? Where have you been for the last 9 months ? Glad to have you back. Are you sure that you want to attempt another cruise in Phoenix ? Oh, I see, the cruise is in Mesa and the cops don't know you YET.

Scotty C · #58 (**permalink**) 03-11-2008, 09:03 AM

Still around ......just been working my tail off for AJ's. They dont let me loose very often. Its been hell trying to find someone trustworthy who understands the XKE drivetrain!! I found a retired british mechanic who is willing to take a look at my car. The last time I had her out she was talking back a little bit.......Hummmm...........Inspection??
All is well.....I drove by Redmans the other day and shop was open and could see his baby.........gettin close!!! Look forward to seeing all the guys soon........peace..............

Scotty....

It's about time you got back in the game. Hope to see you there.

Mike

Danr55 · #60 (**permalink**) 03-11-2008, 11:47 AM

Scotty, If you need a mechanic who understands Contemporary drive trains, let me know. I just finished overhauling mine with some help from a good mech. I'll pass his name and number along to you if you're interested.
