Todd I will be out of town as of this time. If you go to user cp you can get messages. There's a guy in woodacre looking to hook up too. Just bad timing on my nieces part I guess
Hi Dicktator,
Well Well, I guess I will have the chance to get you that shot of Capt Morgan !
And I may have to owe you a few more ??
Unfortunately, My Black R seems to have some ghost knocks in the engine.( Thought it was just me ,hearing things, yet, when the Chevy Dealer (they have had it for a week now) heard the knock ,my heart sank.
I have scoured the Fanatics and read tons of posts and mag articles. Gotten some good info and will put it to use when the dealer opens , monday. I've posted a few help threads and gotten some feedback.
My head is still spinning on this one?? I think, hoping I can find something... , other than a complete rebuild or a crate install. Either is quite pricey!!
Any ideas from you , or others are helpful.
Nonetheless, I will look forward to meeting you in May, and getting you that Morgan shot.
Guess we will all get together sooner than later and with the Dicktator as well, all the way from FLA !
This sounds like a great time. Please be sure to include me on this one.
Let me know the time , date and location, you are thinking. I will help out and bring whatever, in any form I can.
I'm thinking 1 PM until 4ish or later, on Monday May 16th. Monday is the only day that works for me.
I am still employed but will take off early that day. Not sure how many of you are still employed. I'm thinking afternoon so we can avoid traffic as much as possible. Please let know what works for those wanting to attend. Or as Dictator offered, he is willing to do multiple events.
Chris, Thanks for the offer. I'll let you know.
Updating post 1 with attendees.
I'll PM all of you with final time and my address once we agree on a window that works for all/most.
Hi Dick: just reading your post of a visit and I live in Pacific Grove, dead center between Carmel and Monterey. Additionally, I have a hangar (car storage) at the Monterey airport. I am definitely interested so let me know if my places would be helpful. Bob
I am aware of the Captain Morgan, but what does he mix it with, if anything? Not aware of the ice cream. Please share more details so I can have both on hand.
Not to sure I can find "Your Brand" of Capt. Yet I will do my best. May have to have it flown in from FLA.
I also see , from the pics , you and Chuck are Vanilla guys. Never done a shot like that ? Am more than willing to try !
The Left Coast will be ready !
Looking forward to it.
I'm thinking a hands on seminar on fixing the fuse box issue on '05-06 SSRs. Although I am an electronics kind of guy, it still makes me nervous.
I also want to know if Monday from 1 PM til ? works for attendees.
So far, I've only heard from 2 people I am not on Facebook, Linkin In or any other social media site. Would love to have more people attend, but Monday is the only day that works for me.
Calling abaddssr, anyone in your facebook group want to attend?
Monday , 1pm, works for me. I will take the time off to be there! Please PM the location and help needed. Thanks !
Nowandthen,
Do not let the fuse box ,give you the willies. Its an easy thing to do ! And SOOOOO worth it ! It seems like it gives the R, a new lease on life.
For me, many things began to work, which were not working prior, or which were intermittent. These things , in our minds , are not/could not, be electrical issues. Yet, its surprising, the results I got , and you may get.
I just posted the Dicktator visit on the NorCal Facebook SSR page to Lawrence.
I do not know any of them and am brand new to Facebook thru the SSR's. NorCal.
I would say we will have some takers from them.
Ps Glad to see you are looking into the C6 pan ! Muey importante. (I speak spanish every day all day).
Thanks Chris. I have resisted joining Facebook, Twitter, Linked In etc. Dicktator suggested I start a new post in the Northern California section titled Tech Day with Dicktator, or something like that in hopes of getting more participants. I think tech day is a great idea. I likely have most, if not all tools people would need. Multiple SAE and metric ratchets and wrenches, screw drivers, floor jack and stands, air wrenches etc. Probably room for 6 or more R's in the driveway. Can go as late as Dicktator or others care to stay. Will need to set up dinner if we do. No big deal.
Hi Nowandthen,
This Tech visit sounds great !
Please stay in touch, as I will help out, with what I can do. I will bring some tools, also.
Sounds like you have the major bases covered.
Looking forward to it.
Thanks,
Chris

I just saw this announcement - Jim and I went to Dicktator's last tech session in Milpitas a couple years ago, lots of good info. Count us in and let me know the details, please. Thanks - Cindy
Hmmm, everyone seems to have disappeared on Dicktator's extremely kind offer to do a tech session. I know nowandthen has a tire issue, but where'd everyone else go?
Spoke to Dicktator an hour or so ago. I am stilling willing to host a my place on Monday. 1 PM until whenever. We can do some tech stuff and Dicktator can present, and we can sit around and BS. There are numerous restaurants nearby, so dinner is not a problem.
Please reply to confirm your attendance. And spread the word! The more the merrier!
