Final Effort Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I know, I've made this trip with a rental car, my PU, the C4 and my Harley. And every time, I wanted to stop in Amarillo for a Steak Dinner. But it's always at some odd hour and I never stop. I'm planning on having a steak dinner this trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two customers vettes in the back that I'm detailing now but I'll finish them up by Friday. If anyone hasn't seen the garage, you should come out. A lift and space for 4 or 5 cars to to work on in the cool air. Sure beats the heat. See ya Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been playin' around with different springs in the FPR and last Saturday I had a pass TB blow out on the comp bladder and fuel was going everywhere, FP spiked over 35lbs...OUCH! Had both TBs apart and decided to replace everything and was waiting for the parts to arrive that I ordered. They came in today and I just finished putting everything together again, adjusted and works fine again and now I can wash it and get ready for Saturday.

I heard you had to work today, I know that's hard to believe...jus stick to it no matter what though. We missed you, the good half and your sister/sister's vette. The "T-town clique" had a good time reminiscing the good years and there were some funny stories of racing. You'll never guess who the last three ACEholes were to leave the shop?

Guest badbobs95 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I know because I was one of them. Great turnout, 45 vettes representing all generations. A 2009 Callaway 616 RWHP, a 2011 supercharged Ron Fellows Edition 625 RWHP, a pot load of Z06's and Grand Sports, an original 63 that just won its Top Flight award, and a Grape Ape!

What more could a guy ask for? Then I would guess and say it was Tom and...uh,..Tom! ha, dam, at least you had fun, I spent the day going house to houses with my appraisers to look at the condition dads rented ones were in...the last one of the day had about 40 cats, flies, bowls of food, piss smells, and more flies. I walk in the house to help measure but immediately turned around and walked out trying not to puke O M G. poor appraisers, one was rolling up his big tape so fast to get out of there that he got it all f'd up and tangled... they came out smelling like the house.

Buccaneer Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 All non-participating "T-town" clique members were missed, but a couple were carrying the flag. Hope to see you all next month July 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final Effort Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Yep I had the Steak 10 oz. size LOL Got stopped in Oklahoma City. Every time I come through there a LEO is sitting at the same Gore point. So I slowed to only 5 over and passed about 6 cars. I guessed that pissed him off so about a mile past he started to tail me. Then the lights came on. Got stopped for drivers side brake light out. I was given a warning and sent on my way. That was the highlight of the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
