Tim Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I'm in. Just finished up the work on my vette...didn't get to the new shocks...spend my time putting in a new separater plate in the 700-R4 and cleaned the values - didn't ream them...only 47k on the car didn't seem to need it. While back I queried the group on the hard shift from 1st to 2nd, changed the fluid and at that time seemed to lesson it, but not enough.It's shifts as smooth as a Sam Adams Summer Ale goes down on a hot day. So you won't have a Mustang running with the pack on Sunday <grin> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Whats the weather supposed to be like?Scattered thunderstorms. High 72F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 50%.so I must submit pictures and fill out a questionaire to be able to go on these rides? thats what a message I recieved said. I would love to see who that message was from! thats a joke if I ever heard one... we welcome all... vette or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Poppa Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 so I must submit pictures and fill out a questionaire to be able to go on these rides? thats what a message I recieved said.Just like Eddie said... Absolutely not. You are more than welcome to join us on this or ANY other cruise. Just good times, no dues to pay, questions to answer, nuthin. Just show up and have a good time. Hell, for the most part, you aint even gotta bring a Vette. The only thing we ask you not bring is a shitty attitude, or my ex wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Poppa Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 I'm working on pictures now.... I'll start a new thread for that. Gotta say, that was one of my favorite rides so far. It was awesome today!!! Rain, sun, waterfalls, fog... We had it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagoff Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Did you take the Benz? How'd it do against the Vettes?Dude, pretty much i got bored following everyone else and made my way up behind chris. He was the only dude who kept a pace that made me smile driving the benz. props to Mercedes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Poppa Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 He was also the dood making sure to drive slow enough to not draw you into overshooting a corner in the wet. Still, props to MB, it didn't look like you were having a hard time of keeping up at any pace we set... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marana Rich Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Good run! Good to meet Tim, and see the rest of you again. Weather was kind of a damper, but we managed to run between raindrops for the most part.I managed to snap a few pictures while on the move, plus a shot of Poppa's true love.That was my first run up Mt. Lemmon, so this last month has been a good one, with Sedona and now this.I just got back to Yuma, and will try and sort them out and post soon. Good pics Chris!I noticed that my GPS gave me a good indication of when and how severe the curves were, was a big help for a first timer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Excellent time!!! Good to put faces and personalities with names.My old vette handled fairly well on the curves (still have all my tires)thanks..look forward to another run.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Poppa Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 Good to meet you Tim!! Now let's get your stereo squared away so you can rock out on the next run too!! And then see if we can find a way to introduce your front end to the bottom half of the atmosphere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Good to meet you Tim!! Now let's get your stereo squared away so you can rock out on the next run too!! And then see if we can find a way to introduce your front end to the bottom half of the atmosphere...Interesting about the stereo...no longer shows the clock only shows 14 ~.2..weird..still get a few stations....one of the replacement speakers..burned up....awful smell.My A/C had a bad port..got that fixed up and the tires spinning the right way.Can't explain the lift in the front end...glad to have another pair of eyes look it over...just say when.Thanks Chris.
