Hey Patrick, You should visit for a beer soon, time and funds into our home reno, and this week I am now out of work, it's kinda a good thing for change, just need to make some adjustments on cash flow. I have not started my girl since last year, I hope to go and fire her up but I know I needed to do that clutch line flush from the idiots who did my trans, they put in dot3 when I had dot5 in...I'll know soon. I will come out and support as I do miss you guys and the car, but as you can see, I have other concerns at this time...especailly with the new kick ass track you know I want to get out there...soon, I just need to see how the car is. Give me a call, I am around:) ------------- Brian (Bassman) 86 GT Fastback 3.2L 2013 Mazda3 Sport GS SkyActive [IMG]http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u243/Bassman68/BassmanSignature.png"> |

I'm sorry to hear that.
If you need a second set of hands to help with flushing the line (or simply need some moral support!), just let me know.
I've had a challenging last few months as well. Invite me over for that beer and we'll compare notes.

Of course we'd prefer you were driving the Fiero, but it'll be good to have you out with the Mazda nevertheless. Anytime (except Wednesday) you'd like to get together this week to discuss world affairs, just let me know (phone/email/PM).

O/T Patrick when you guys came and got the 4cyl motor from my place, did you take my dolley with you? If so do you still have it? I was looking for it the other day and can't seem to find it. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

Yes, I have it. Sorry Dave. Shortly after I brought the engine here you were back and forth to Oregon and I didn't know when to bring the dolly back. Then the months just sort of slipped away. So it's been here soaking up the ambience of east Van ever since. Let me know when it's convenient for you and I'll bring it right over.

Lots of sun and a fast course today. It's becoming more and more obvious though with the higher sustained speeds (on the new double skid-pad) that a 90 HP Fiero with street tires is rather out of its element. I'm not complaining (as I still have fun out there), but being a competitive guy I don't particularly like trailing most of the pack every weekend at the track. More power would be nice, but yeah, proper track tires would make the biggest difference. Hmmm... It was great to see Brian, Colby, and Riley (Colby's brother) out there today.

Yep, it was a nice day for autocross. I felt like I left a bit too much time out there, but I still had a good time. Video is up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lUueu7lKy4 - here . ------------- 88 Formula 5 speed |

It was a great morning...I am glad I came home to help Kerstin, I also got too much sun. Chat with you guys soon...and need to plan for the next event. ------------- Brian (Bassman) 86 GT Fastback 3.2L 2013 Mazda3 Sport GS SkyActive [IMG]http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u243/Bassman68/BassmanSignature.png"> |

That's the problem with our climate... We get several months of rain, and then when the sun finally does come out our pale white skin gets scorched!
I'm aiming for the next PCA event on May 27th, and I'm hoping we'll have more than two Fieros out for that one. Seriously, for anyone reading this who hasn't tried autocrossing yet, ya gotta drag your butt out to the new enlarged track at Pitt Meadows and experience what it's like to legally push you and your car to their limits (at speeds approaching 100 kph). It's educational and a lotta fun!

Fingers crossed. Gary, it'll be great to see you and the car out on the track again! There may as well be another Johanson out there to kick my butt.

All we need now is for Al to come out.
