ol yella lives again
Hi everyone I am looking forward to the 20th Meeting next week
I managed to be on the last plane out of Heathrow, UK on May 15th - I beat the ash..... I have been preparing the 86 #044 mule and I fired it up may 1 after its been dormant since 04 gathering (mental note : use STABIL) , the gas had turned to 'orrible stuff and I had to strip the injection system and clean - new pump, rebuild, mess with the wierd electrics and whhhooompphhh - at loud clatter and clouds of smoke - it lives again. I hope to meet all of you at Bowling Green it should be a blast to meet up with friends, new and old (Dwight are you attending my teeth need a clean). Some of you have spotted the unique phase 1 memorabilia on ebay - I will l have some items with me plus other items not listed - who wants a phase 3 or 2 cylinder head?? I hope you enjoy the Early days presentation on saturday. I am looking to gather more info on the early days - I intend to publish all my findings in a book as soon as I can get the time to do it. cheers from your UK Zed R one friend Keith Beschi |

Re: ol yella lives again
I will be at the welcome meet - good time to catch up an meet new friends.
I was going to bring the Gold car 86 #41 in its sorry state as a kind of before/after display but the NCCM do not have the room - it would have been one more proto in the 'biggest' gathering of early cars to date. Maybe next year....... Keith |

Re: ol yella lives again
You deserve the satisfaction. You guys worked pretty hard running down all the one-off parts, as I recall.
