I'm with you Jim. There's always a zillion clocks around, so I never worry what time it is. Plus, I'm going for the lightweight "Joe" approach & streamlining. The watch would add a pound or something.

 

Dude.....that is **smokin** hott. I had to bookmark that page.

 

Link quartz with the silver face.

 

Good morning Sir Bradley!
Did we get our other rotor? I'm anxious to jump back in the cockpit of the Frackmobile. Oh, take a picture of the Tiburon shift boot on your head & post it. That'd be **sweet**.

 

Rotor just arrived (and is correct.) I'm assembling the hat and rotor now.

Steve

 

Who got the Tiburon boot?

 

well, the battery is finished. I had to overnight the battery leads but the car is ready for the meet tomorrow. Tonight I will fab up the lexan cover. Wish me luck!

 

That will happen.

 

Has anybody ran Panoche road between Hollister and Mercy HotSprings lately? I haven't been on it in years. I going to Salinas tomorrow and comming back in the afternoon and wanted to take a nice drive. Any ideas?

 

Dr.Steve & Sir Bradley: Do you think the Frackmobile will be ready for pickup later this afternoon?

 

Wheels are on, and Steve is about to take it for a test drive.

 

Brakes after test drive. Still a little warm.

 

The battery box delete protected by lexan. I'm probably going to skin it in the carpet i used on my interior.



And my new watch

 

TEST

 

ran it about 1.5 years ago. not bad. some parts were very narrow. good twistys. from i5 to panoche was fast and smooth, then from the corner up to piecenes was narrow. i was going to sugest 198 from colinga, that road is nice, but forgot you are father north. the run down 25 from hollister to 198 is really fun and i have never had any traffic.

 

thanks for the info. As long as I get out of Salinas fairly early I will take it, hope there is cell coverage there .

 

Where is everybody?

 

let's see, brad is with the girls; steve is hopefully working on his house; jim is in salinas or on his way home; chris is in modesto; kevin is doing chores so he can hopefully go on the eastbay run tommorow; i'm here and i dont know about the rest of the folks

 

Busy weekend I guess.

 

Kevin & I were at his house all day today detailing the Frackmobile. I'm posting pictures in my Picture album for people to check out. Also, Kevin's an absolute detailing genius. Thank you ***very*** much Kevin!!!

 

I just heard a MINI comercial on the radio for "MOTORTOBER" on 99.7
It sounded like one of those racing commercials, "SUNDAY,SUNDAY,SUNDAY"

 

Hi all, snapped some pics. of the drive home today. This is on J25 between Hollister and Hwy. 5. Unfortunately its kinda bumpy and rough in spots, so I can't recommend it. But it does have some very nice twistys, would be great if the whole road was smooth. Also no cell coverage back there, very remote. Anyways, I hope I get the pics in here right.

 

dont we wish all roads were smooth as silk.
sometimes the twisty bumpy roads are the most fun and they test and improve our skills.
I would like to do a run over in that area to some of the wineries.

 

Sweet pictures Jim!
How's your new suspension & brakes working out. Could you tell you were "tighter" in the corners? It'd be neat to hear your first & current impressions of your latest upgrades.

 

Hey Joe, isn't that a Jimmi Hendrix song, yea its pretty tight handling with all that camber in the back. But i'm hitting the fenders, luckily i'm getting my new shoes tomorrow . Should be better then. How are your brakes? Can you feel a difference?
