Mine is not running either, I will be sanding all weekend so the hood, scoop, and wing can go in for painting next week.

With luck I will be able to drive the car to our next club meeting :lol:

I won't go either. Weather isn't on my side and tourism isn't fun in rain (it's currently raining hard here and in the mountains). And it might snow a little bit. If I absolutly had to go, I would, but it's just for pleasure, so I'll pass my turn this weekend and will try again next weekend.

Yup! Canmore. Then a litte detour to Radium Hot Spring to take a bath to refresh me and go home after.

It's therapeutic. I need to get out of my apart and doing nothing else but driving. It's good for my mental health to have nothing else to think than to drive my car and to enjoy the scenery. :)

Werd to teh auto the- rapist. Luckily I find DOING mechanical work theraputic as well as driving. I'll sure be glad when i dont' have to spend every weekend in the garage and I can spend some time on the ROAD!

Like real therapy though, driving is getting expensive!

Therapy...well, I enjoy mechanical work but my real therapy is flyfishing...nothing more relaxing in my humble opinion...

Expensive? What is still cheap nowaday? Yes it is, but it's worth it from time to time. Of course, it was working better last winter. Nothing is more fun than 230km of drifting on a deserted Icefield Parkway when it's snowing! 8)

thats depressing to me...although my car is running now...fixed everything up...fixed the RR tailight which was F'd...but now one bright lamp doesn't work...and i have no clue why

new bulb tested and it workes, fuse is fine???? any suggestions

other than that the oil return line work pretty decent, i'll have to JB weld a lil more in one area for safety but yeah it works

athal i check my lower rad hose...it's doing the same thing, lets see what we can get for heat wrap shall we? i am thinking 850 wheels money :wink:

by the way with the black/blue bumper on the car, the black hood actually suits it...i like it! cant wait for the spoiler to go on, hopefully in the next week or so

Steph coming to Calgary will be a sinch for you for May long weekend...man i cant wait!!! first cruise of the year...Dale you planned a route yet?

ciao
