Welcome to CEG!! I know you will love you contour! You will have to come to this side of the state some time to have a meet or we could have one half way

Right on. My brother lives out that way, so I get to visit occasionally. The drive on SR20 North Cascades Highway rules! US2 isn't too bad either.

Have a drink at the Viking for me!

I am game for a meet and greet. Need to meet the Northwest guys. As long as we let my car warm up I should be able to keep up with the SVT's.

In the past, the SVTs have hardly kept up with the SE's. SOME PEOPLE (like DDV) baby their cars too much!

There there is tbjugs...his overheating problem slowed us ALL DOWN.

That is OK, you would have probably pushed tbjugs over a cliff with as many problems as he had that trip.

Very nice!

I have a lot of work ahead of me if I'm making any sort of fun run. I have to remove my trans and get it repaired, installing a new clutch at the same time. I also desperately need a UIM/LIM cleaning and probably a tune up. Trying to come up with some rims too. I could see it happening by May.

When do you guys think the spring meet will be?

Hey, let's not talk about him like he's not here!!

Besides, the SVT now has over 46K on it!! (And some ditch digging experience.)

WSDOT expects to have Hwy 20 open by mid April, but waiting a bit after that shoudl ensure the roadway is in better condition. May/June would probably be best. No reason we couldn't get together before then, though.

He must have been hanging out behind Tyson somewhere.

Wow. 46K. try 128K. And how much did you get from your insurance company?

This time I�m up for it! The car is running well right now but I still don�t like to speed like you guys do; did. But for a short time I was in front, had to max her out to pass you guys but I did it.
Posted By: Trademark Re: I gots me a newish tour.. - 03/24/06 08:44 PM
nice photos.. I need to get something other than these hubcaps if I'm goin to roll with you guys.. looks like it was a great day though.

Oops.

That was a fun run despite my car issues.
Posted By: Beowulf Re: I gots me a newish tour.. - 03/25/06 01:46 AM
I was just giving you [censored] becuase I can.

It was fun.
Posted By: DDV Re: I gots me a newish tour.. - 03/25/06 02:33 PM
Yeah, we definitely need a get together and a fun run this summer.

After it was all said and done, the insurance co. gave me just over $6200 for the car, that included deducting my deductible ($500), deducting the amount of the buy-back ($430) and other stuff. The repairs cost just under $3400, which was surprising in itself. But, I ended up with some change in my pocket and I got my car back. It's all like new again!

And yes, I will STILL baby it to some extent!
