Perhaps he is a perfectionist, not happy with his work? I don't know.
is he ever going to share those pics he took last time?

Sorry, I might be sitting this round out.

I found out today that there is some play in my timing chain. Looks like a lower guide has self-destructed. $$$$$$$$$

If I get there, I don't want to roll home on a trailer!

Zorro, you're killing me.

That would certainly beat pushing my car through Customs, though. LOL

We could stage another picture like the Porsche pulling the 500E!

Not that I condone this, of course, but couldn't you sell a child or two, fix the 500E, do some street races to win money, then buy the kid(s) back?

I'm just sayin....just a thought.

Just sayin....

Thinkin aloud....

Well too bad guys, the weatherman says today was the last time we will see the sun for the next 6 months! It is about that time.....

I'd be down for Chuckanut. There is a great resaurant in Mt. Vernon called Easy Rider Cafe just off the freeway but I'm sure you can get there by the back roads. I'll check it out this weekend if anyone is interested. Otherwise maybe a spot in Bellingham?

I would rather drive to Mt. Baker simply because it is a longer drive, but Chuckanut is fun too.

What about Edmonds area? It's nice and along the water. I think there is a park right by the ferry terminal we could meet at.
