GreenCactus Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 It's supposed to be really hot on Saturday. I'll be bringing bottled water to share with everyone.
271derboy Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 Thank you for that. I do not have A/C in the shop yet but I do have a large fan that realy helps. And remember no open toe shoes. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]MCS GP. Long tube header, Schrick Cam, 180deg T-Stat, Alta JCW air filter,
Edge Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 Just a heads up for those heading to Keith's tomorrow... Keith's address is roughly SSW from Manassas, VA (Google Maps link). That means many people will be likely planning to drive from I-66 through Manassas on Route 28S, or through Bull Run on Route 234S. From yesterday (Thursday) through this coming Sunday, Manassas is celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War and the Battle of First Manassas (Bull Run). It will almost certainly be very crowded. I would recommend allowing additional travel time and/or planning alternate routes that do not drive through or near Manassas or Bull Run, if you can help it. It's for this reason I think I'm going to brave I-95S down to Dumfries and North from there Route 234 instead. That way I won't be entering Manassas nor Bull Run at all. The other option for me is to take the scenic route through the middle (through Burke, towards Clifton, using Route 645 to start off). I'm not sure yet - but the point is, plan accordingly!

Kokopellie Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 Thank you for that. I do not have A/C in the shop yet but I do have a large fan that realy helps. And remember no open toe shoes. Might want to move that A/C thing up on the list. I can't thank you enough!!! :congrats: LOTs of great tips and tricks. Thank your wife for us too. You gave up your whole Saturday for us.

abdul28 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 Thanks for having us Keith, it was a pleasure. Learned a lot about my mini from a man that knows what he is doing.
