Hi All: Tripler and I are bringing our Z down to Dempsey's October 13th for fluid changes. Haven't found anybody in the Toronto area yet who is familiar with the LT5. I'm sure there are folks just haven't found them yet and it is a good excuse to take her on a road trip. Just wondering if any WAZOO members close to Evolution are interested in getting together for a beverage. We should be arriving on October 12th and staying until the 14th.

If I am in town, would be great to get together. My car is getting some love at Dempsey's right now.

I am located in Alexandria, VA about 15 miles south of the Capital Beltway (495). With some notice I could host a late afternoon gathering at my place, throw some burgers on the grill and have some adult beverages. I am about an hour 20 minutes north of Dempsey's shop.

Thank you Rich for that kind and generous offer. Barring unforeseen circumstances we should be in the Fredericksburg area Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, although Thursday could be iffy depending on how long it takes to do all the fluid changes on our Z and fingers crossed nothing horrible pops up.

Cool, we can play it by ear. If your car is tied up on the lift we could also maybe meet up somewhere down near Dempsey. The traffic going south from my area to Fredericksburg can be a real bite at rush hour. I work in Quantico so if I left from work, I could get down 95 before it gets too ugly. Rich

Hey all,!,..alright so!!, maybe we can shut down operations and have a gathering like we wanted to plan earlier...!...Rich just take 95 to 234-west to 28-to 17 south and your good to go!.
If a gathering sounds good-post it elsewhere on the sights(ZR1 and Corvette forum) and we'll plan it up right!!!!

Be careful with the beer and our friends to the South/East West. Be sure to have snacks on hand.

Absolutely!! Also, taking those Canadian staples - Ketchup Chips and Dill Pickle Chips

Ohh, Ketchup chips, be sure to declare them, so you don't get into trouble in case the sniffer dogs pick up on them at the border.
There is so much right about a country that sells beer at a lower cost than pop.
:USFlag:
Hope you guys have a blast.

Guys are doing a great job so far on our 1995 ZR-1 . Radiator and brake fluid definitely needed changing and trans and diff looked fine . Bottom of car has zero oil and looks pretty darn clean . Car has 27,000 plus miles on it . Getting Amzoil with lots of zinc in it . Sweet ..

Hey guys . In a bit of a bind . The car won't start . Talked to Jim Voter on the phone and he says it is probably the solenoid. Just waiting to get a boost as I can't push start it where I am parked with the car right now . Not much of a hill .

K . Just got a boost and it started right away .
. On our way back to Canada now . On a sad note also Deslie's brother passed away on Thursday or Friday as they only found him on Sat ... As you can guess Des with the car not starting she was more upset ...

Hey Dempsy . Were good . We are in Bradford PA spending the night . Car would not start in Breezwood. I had forgotten how to boost the Z . This happened once before when we left BG. I gave a call to Jim Voter as I could not find your number quickly . Jim said to jump start the car you have to go to the neg post . Thanks Jim ...That worked for boosting it . Now I am just parking it on a hill in case it wont start again but so far it keeps starting .
Thanks ...
