Good news folks. The White One was spitting up blood for the last few days, my precious MPG's taking a nose dive. But Crit and Deena were out at the house on Friday and Crit took a look down the White One's throat and diagnosed an infected progression circuit, kind of like swollen tonsils in a Nikki.

So me not wanting to rebuild the carb in this weather stopped at the AutoZone on the way home an purchased a spray can of their prescription only carb cleaner, which I used to coat the White One's poor swollen tonsils, nearly gagged the poor girl.

And it worked! Progression is just fine, I'll be there tomorrow evening after all (after voting).

Ray

PS, Frank, the guy with that meticulously nice, heavily altered SA might be there too, he keeps threatening to show up again.

Here's Frank and his SA:







Frank's the second dude from the left:

Yup, Michael I'll give you a real nice "You're my Boy Blue" T-shirt if you make it, for the longest commute.

I'll be there! In Grace, though. I don't know if I can trust Sabine to stay startable. Unless someone is willing to possibly loan me a battery in case she floods while at the meet to the point where it nearly kills my battery trying to start her.

I thought about giving you the battery in the 'vert to use, but if I get another car soon I'll need a new battery. But it sitting in the car not being used isn't doing any good to it- you can borrow it until I get another car or need it back, or until you buy another one yourself But you're *** has to come and get it!

Anything for you Michael, it would be great to see you.

Collin I have some jumper cables I'll bring, should work as long as you don't stall the car.

Who needs OG@TA cards, I'm going to print some up today and need an idea of how many.

Let's try to line them up tonight like we did in that photo up above, FBs in one line, FCs and other stuff (lotuses, FDs, etc) in another. Makes counting and photography easier.

Chris, you bringing your camera for some pro shots?

I forgot to mention, let's shoot for a little earlier starting time, say around 6:00-6:30 instead of 6:30-7:00 so we can get some more day light.

It's been a good week for decongesting Nikkis. I tracked down a couple of vacuum leaks that were the cause of coughing in my car and then tunned the carb. The old guy (mines a guy) is running much leanner and smoother. I think it could use a little more work, but it is noticeably stronger and smoother. It also seems to have addressed a fuel starvation problem I was having.

Chris you need some daylight to get the good pics!

Thanks for bringing the shield Billy, I'll paypal your website when I get home.

Colin, you can show up early with the rest of us no-life's.

Mike it might be a good thing if you laid hands on the White One's Nikki, it's still not behaving quite right.

Here's December's OG@TA cards, printed in a limited edition. Which might be a good thing.

Tim, did you pass me on 285 westbound near Riverside on the way home? I saw a black lotus with no tags.

75-80? He passed at a good 10mph faster maybe more, and the exhaust note makes me think he had a fairly open throttle.

Great meeting guys. Here's my 12A count, Holly please check the math:

2 SAs = 3 12As
xFBs = x 12As (Holly, figure this out for me, OK?)
1SE = 1 12 A
3Fcs = 1.5 12As

Total 12As = 5.5 + the FBs

Not a bad turn out for December.

Here's some pics. I forgot to get photos of Tim's new lotus. In fact I didn't even see it on the way out. Tim you sure this lotus is real? Also we need an engine/head shot of Frank and the Silver SA, Hollywood stuff there. And Chris II's blonde on black. So you guys bring the same dates next time, OK?
