Re: Mountain Run 2
You guys are making me even MORE excited about the road trip ... I may have to get a couple of take-out mother's day lunch coupons for my wife & mom and meet you guys in Winchester for the caravan to Blowing Rock :wink:

Re: Mountain Run 2

8AM should be early enough to beat MD crowds.
I'm looking forward to this too, haven't had a real weeks vaca in a few years! |
Re: Mountain Run 2
One more week! In preparation ZR1 is going on the lift today for inspection, oil change and whatever she needs to be healthy for the trip!

Re: Mountain Run 2
Well, I got the Purple Aerobody ready for the run last weekend. After much deliberation and what the weather looks like I am going to be getting the Ruby ready on Friday.

An AAA card is not a bad idea either. FWIW: I carry a scissor jack, tire plug kit (a good "gun" type w/mushroom plugs), a can of Green Slime, tire guage, wire cutters (to pull out the nail or whatever), a small 12v compressor, gloves, flashlite and a breaker bar w/deep socket (for jack and lugs). It all fits in the compartment behind the right seat. Unless I tear a hole in a tire, with this maybe I can keep going. Check the air in your spare too, even though I'd try to avoid using it if at all possible. See ya Sunday! |
Re: Mountain Run 2
What Doug said ... plus
if you have a spare serpentine belt, it's a good idea to keep it in the compartment behind the seat. I usually carry a small array of sockets, extensions, ratchets, wrenches, torx bits, etc. I picked up a couple of plastic tool boxes from Sears that hold most of what I need and are compact enough to carry easily ... I believe they are compact truck boxes Item # 00965117000P Model # 65117. The nice thing about this trip is the number of knowledgeable "mechanics" available should anyone need some help. |
Re: Mountain Run 2
Thanks for the suggestions. Your right about the knowledgeable mechanics, sad to say i am not one of them.

Last nite you said you couldn't make the trip, this morning you're coming in your motorhome and trailer? Where did you get the trailer? Will the LM be on it? D |
Re: Mountain Run 2
Hey Gunny, have you made reservation's at the restraunts? 20 people is bit of a hit.

Re: Mountain Run 2
re: reservations
Doug will take care of Sun nite in Blowing Rock Mon lunch in Marion we should be OK & I don't think they take reservations ... I may make a "head's up" warning call Mon AM prior to our arrival Mon evening ... generally no reservations but I will give a warning call when we get to Dillard ... we should be able to get seating together & going early will be a plus. more info at Sunday's meeting Tue lunch ... no reservations but I've already called & will call again so that we will have seating together. It's important that we arrive before the noon rush Tue evening ... TBA when we get to Alcoa Wed lunch ... BBQ no reservations ... we can give a warning call |
