Hopfully I will make it this year, and I won't be having issues with my car...

How did things go with the meet?

Anyone up to having another one anytime soon?

I see lots of stuff wrong, first the picture is probally from the 1960s or 1970s, second it looks like it's in Germany or France, not England, third, the image looks like it has be reversed.

I don't think I will be able to make it, I'm going to be very busy in June and doubt I will be able to get the time off needed to attend all 4 days.

I might be able to get one free day, and can do a day trip there (it's only a 3 hours drive from my house)

So this is June 17-20?

Maryhill is a nice place, but strange people camp there

Mine is the simplified chassis code for my old Mercedes= 123c

What's this High School people are talking about, I think I slightly remeber it. I enjoyed none of my Classes. However I enjoyed all of my classes in College

Mine is black, and I painted my scoop black too, because all the paint was falling off...

City Driving is which I mostly do, I get about 15-16mpg, Highway driving I get about 25-28 mpg...

Seafoam works great, i've fed it threw the PCV valve, dumped it into the crank case and into the fuel tank. Marval Mystery Oil works great too, and is a cheaper alternative...

My Crapsman tourque wrench crapped out, and I bought a $9.99 tourque wrench from Harbor Freight, and I have been happy with it...

Most cars with turbos aren't known to get excellent gas mileage, they will always get worse then their natuarally aspirated counterparts. Turbo Diesels are one exception to this rule that I can think of...

That might work for me, I might be able to take some vacation time then. Another factor for me would be if I still have my car, I might need to sell it so I can afford a Toyota Land Cruiser. I would probally look funny showing up in a Land Cruiser, unless I can talk my brother in going in his SS.

Only a few of the wires look chewed, others look like they are split. They easiest way to fix the light problem would probally to remove the CEL bulb all together . If I deciede to keep the car a little longer I might fix everything the right way and make new harnesses.

at one time there was a family of mice living in the engine bay, i found a few dead ones in there after i bought the car...

One of them is for the O2 sensor, one of them is for the knock sensor, just before the connection, one of them is for the temp sensor, another one of them is for the cam angle sensor, there are a few more I havn't identified yet

I'm sort of looking for the quick and easy fix, because I am sort of wanting to sell the car fairly soon, and don't want the CEL to lower the value. I am starting to hate the slush box tranny, eventhough mine is original and no problems...

It looks like there are places on some of the wiring where the insulation has been melted, chewed and cracked away. I am sure it's grounding out the sensors, causing the light. I am thinking that I can take some of that liquid electrical tape, and patch up the insulation. Is this the best way for go...

I don't really like to grow out beards, because I don't look that good in them...

South Beach has Yurts, those can be nice. Can't beat the nomadic Mongolian technology http://www.oregon.gov/OPRD/PARKS/rustic.shtml

I might be interested depending on time and location, mostly if I can get the time off from work...

ones from a wrecking yard should last a while if in good shape to start with...

I couldn't justify spendiing the extra $10, so I bought the Xtravisions, which i've had good luck with...

R5W sounds right for a city light...

What I am meaning is where the oil concaves, is that where I should be taking the reading at?
