New England Gathering: Update (with date)

[Steve Chryssos]

It ain't cheap. Like $30 each way--maybe more. Plus you GOTTA get a ferry hot dog or two for breakfast. Yeah 95 degrees tomorrow. I figure it will be 110 in my car.

Damn, $60+ round trip? If this thing wasn't so early, I'd drive around to CT. At 30mpg, it's gotta be cheaper, heh. Thanks, but I'll pass on the Ferry Hot Dog. With temps that hot, I need to keep the stomach running smoothly, lol. It's raining out right now, I hope it's clear for tomorrow.

youse guys be careful now you hear.
Be sure to get plenty pictures. It would be nice to see a group shot of some northeastern protouring cars.

Ralph , for future reference you should be able to get from the throgs neck to the dairy in under an hour.throgs neck to 95 north to 287 west to 684 north to 84 east.

Ralph, wait untill you see what pulls in behind me, Its red and has 12 cylinders.(no, its not six ducatis in a row)

Bill, I will get some photos and video.

Lol on the six ducatis. Hmm, wonder what it is? Must be an exotic.

The route you suggested sounds good. The ferry is really convenient, I just thought it was more like $15 each way. I guess that's what I get for being young and dumb, and having never brought a car on the ferry. No worries, though. I mostly asked because I had a feeling it was more than I thought and wanted to make sure I brought enough money. I'll see you guys in CT in the morning. I added your nextel ID to my phone. I'll two way you when we get off the ferry.

To the LI crew, I'll see you guys at the Ferry around 6:15-6:30!

Well guys, bad news for me -

I am a no go for tomorrow. I just got back from the garage, it is now 11pm - I have been there since 3pm and we still have not sorted the brakes out on the Charger yet. We replaced the power booster with a re-manufactured one and yes, it works... BUT we are still not getting enough pressure to the brakes - we have a rock hard pedal so we "think" now that it may be problem with the proportioning valve or that the master cylinder that was supplied by BAER is bad. The car had two proportioning valves. The original that routes to the rear and the one BAER supplied - we have to pull the original and run straight lines... this advice actually came from Steve Strope at Pure Vision Design. It just isn't going to happen for me tonight.

I'm really sorry I can't be there tomorrow - right now I just pissed off and frustrated at all the problems this installation has given me. Please take some pics and post them and drive safe - I'll see ya'll at the next get together -

Cheers - Mike

Hey Mike,

Sorry to hear about the car trouble. If you still want to attend, you can ride with me during the event. I know you're pissed about the brake problems, so I understand if you wanna sit this one out.

[vanzuuk1]

ralph, any word on mr angry?

And I am probably buying that dse stuff on the island so give it a look if you pick up the rear for mr quick.

[Ralph LoGrasso]

I'm pretty sure Mr. Angry is meeting us at the ferry tomorrow. I'm going to give Steevo a call on my way over there. I REALLY hope I wake up in time. I'm one of those people who is always late, and I'll probably be doing 90mph down the highway trying to get there in time.

Will do on the DSE.

[vanzuuk1]

Ralph, I will give you some advice from an old guy, Dont hope you are gonna wake up, just wake up. Its all in how you look at it. Also get off the computer and go to sleep! Thanks on the dse stuff.

I'll be there, it's just a matter of how early / late I'll get to the ferry, lol. I'm waking up at 5:45 (hopefully) and the Ferry is only 20 minutes away max, so it shouldn't be too bad. I'm going to sleep very soon, lol.

[YoungGun]

ITS A GO!!!!!

Everything seems clear, but it will be a hot one!

See ya soon! :3gears:

[vanzuuk1]

hey mr angry , sorry you cant make it but I am always down for the next one.When the trees turn a little and the airs a little cooler it will be even better.I will take some photos.

goodnight!

[MrAngry]

Thanks guys -

Honestly, I just really bummed. I took last Friday off to try and rectify this and we thought all was well but then we found the booster was bad, then all this past week I went nuts trying to find a rebuilt 36 year old booster and now that I found a good one and installed it I find yet another problem... so I took 2 days off of work and still no brakes. Again, just really frustrated.

On a good note though, I did manage to heat wrap my fuel lines and put on new ceramic spacer, so I think my vapor locking problem is solved and hopefully within' a weeks time we WILL have the rest of the car sorted.

As for tomorrow, I am unfornately going to bow out - again, just pissed and annoyed. I will be there for the next one though even if I have to ride a friggin' bicycle there... I'll also have a brief write-up about how the previous owner of this car did some stuff REALLY wrong.... right now though - I'm going to bed.

Enjoy your day tomorrow fellas' - I'll be there in spirit.

Cheers- Mike

[vanzuuk1]

See you there.
