Haven't had time to get the buggy running and insured... I'll see if I can jump in with Jag. Looks like great weather for today!

DarrenE · « **Reply #70 on:** March 20, 2011, 09:10:43 AM »

That's a great route Joel.

Better than the straight lines we were originally going to drive.

Jodasa · « **Reply #71 on:** March 20, 2011, 09:19:32 AM »

Well we are all out there to drive our cars, celebrate the first day of Spring

, and make some noise... no?

You've got 3 parrallel roads there and 2 don't even connect to 176 (hwy 15), that left turn onto 32 ave off of 172 is going to be interesting as well, why the detour through the quiet subdivision? got some neighbors to piss off?

Right @ 32 from 176 would be far better.

Jodasa · « **Reply #73 on:** March 20, 2011, 09:34:13 AM »

lol... Ack... Thanks for catching that.

32nd was supposed to be the turn off... from 176th... nice smooth road.
Google maps "readjusted the route for me on it's own" I guess.
Nice catch, Thanks... I was doing this really late last night after a LONG day.

I was going to say.... But I thought we were cruising past Grandma's house.

willson12 · « **Reply #75 on:** March 20, 2011, 10:12:42 AM »

Ah on side of road changing carb lol good way to start morning off

Jodasa · « **Reply #76 on:** March 20, 2011, 11:16:26 AM »

Get her fixed man! You know my number if you need a hand!

willson12 · « **Reply #77 on:** March 20, 2011, 07:01:58 PM »

Hey All,

She is all good now, haha, I was rushed to make it to the meeting so I really didnt let the motor warm fully up to adjust the carb. Also I forgot to bring my mini screw driver, so I had to make a judgement call, so I turned around due to keep stalling at the lights, and went to a buds house got a mini screw driver adjusted the carb, now she runs like she used to.

, but it happened to be that the cruise would of been well over by the time I got out. I will be out to more so see you all around, and I look forward to the next meeting that I will actually make on time,

cheers

Thank you!

Great job guys! I counted 20+ cars at the start and 20 during the cruise. Perfect way to start spring!

Good to hear the Cruise was a success. So far the Cali trip hasn't been! We've had tempest-like rains and hail since arriving. I've discovered that rust-free in Nor-Cal is pretty similar to "rust free" in Vancouver...a complete lie. I may have found Rob's new Bay window bus...if I can't find me a Beetle I might just have to drive a Sierra Yellow bus home.

Way to get everybody out.

Jodasa · « **Reply #88 on:** March 20, 2011, 11:23:46 PM »

Absolutely wicked to see so many people out there!
Sorry for the mix up in the route. I've learned that with 20 cars in a cruise that you have to hand out maps/directions that day, or have people giving directions at each turn/corner along the route!
Cool that we all ended up at 8th ave anyways! LOL.
Seriously an awesome 1st day of spring. Thanks to everyone for coming out!
