Maxicooper Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I have some info from our run leader, SpitfireMKI, that the run is going to be a really fun one and will last ~1.5 hrs. The route will be good for both first timers and old timers. He said you w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxicooper Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Wow, what prompted these repairs? Were there any signs or sounds that alerted you? That's what I'm going to ask as well.

SpitfireMkI Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 There was a knocking sound coming from under the bonnet. When I would just ease the clutch out (in gear) it would go away. It also was making the sound it did before when they replaced it the first time.

Maxicooper Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Sorry to hear about the ding. I hope they can fix it and make it as good as new. Actually, 2010 JCW wasn't a bad idea at all. See you tomorrow. :wavey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpitfireMkI Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Thanks Chris for doing all the "paperwork" to make the run happen :congrats: Those roads are quite a bit of fun, watching the video I see that my pace was a weee slow but then those are Howard County's finest 30 mph back country roads :stupid: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "There are 200 hour pilots who fly like they have 2000 hours and there are 2000 hour pilots who fly like they have 200..."
