Wait, now not "Blame Canda", but rather "Exclude Canada????" (and to think I wasted one of my two allowed daily clicks on that....Sorry Canada my ass...

In other news, tberk? Yeah, not just our group. the latest discussion on the Ercoupe list includes chest beating about whether the engine mount bolts are airframe or engine components. and whether they should be torqued wet or dry. Mechanic vs just a well read guy. Same stuff, different day. And I wonder if my coffee would taste better with a twisty straw....hmmmm.

Looks like a good day for convertible driving. I think I will ask the convertible what her opinion is. if not, it will be green. Few driving days left before the inevitable car covers.

And tberk, my contribution to the "discuss" of the video? it is a video!!!!! Therefore may as well be on another ****ing planet. Some day I will join the real virtual world. Until then, there is aluminum to deal with. In that house yet John? This may be a good race yet...

In other news, bracing for Beer Turkey this weekend.....

Thanksgiving in Canada : Monday, October 8th

My entire family went somewhere warm without me. That means I have to cook and eat an entire Turkey alllll by myself.

LOLZ!
You're a skinny bastard like me, though - I'm sure that you can manage to do it.


And, because it applies to our cars soooo much....
('stole' it from a fellow member at thegreenbutton):



Enjoy!!

[crazyaboutrocs]

A little progress this evening. Started the wainscotting and hung the heating system components on the wall.

[sure rock oh]

Hello. Im Mike or Norcalmike as im know on every other forum except this one because someone took it
First car I ever bought was a Brazil Brown 79. one year later, I traded it for a 65 bug
22 years years later, Im back. Just picked up a Platinum Metallic 79 with near perfect Red interior.
look forward to hanging out here and chatting with my fellow roccians

[cuppie]

Welcome!
Pics of said 'rocco are, ah, 'strongly recommended.' There's a thread for that, too (too lazy to find it right now, though... )


Painting nameplates is really, really tedious. Took over 45 minutes to do Das Quantum's buttocks today. But, these look sooo much better now!




Maybe I should offer this as a 'for-fee' service at Cincy next year?

[sure rock oh]

Posting my pics was my first post!

Well, welcome to the group! We are an odd bunch, but harmless enough. Or that's what we tell people anyway.

@cholland...why not come here for Beer Turkey. Just show up, if you are brave enough. never mind the gunfire. It got off to a rousing start last night with a big garage clean up. I suspect many golf cart burnouts will happen in there. I'm going to be doing a bit of detox today I think...the combo of beer and solvents from stripping aluminum are playing a bit nasty with my head this morning.

Okay, coffee, and then to secure the property...you can never be too careful for Beer Turkey.

One more thing...anyone have a 1600cc aircooler block they'd like to get rid of? In particular, Code AD, AE, AF, or AK. not sure if it even needs to have internals. LMK. it is for a worthy project.

I'll talk to my machine shop guy. IIRC he has a pile of Aircooled engine parts in his shop somewhere.

Good Morning

[scirocco*joe]

Good Morning

Good morning!

I have done nothing with the Scirocco. In my defense I have been busy with this guy.

[TBerk]

Man, Joe.... Leave the keyboard, right now, this minute- and go kiss The Woman.

Go on, go now....

Tell her what you will, but don't forget some nut on the Interwebs spurred you on, while listening to 'My One and Only, You...' in the background.

[Neptuno]

Joe gave us babys, now we need CatSS!!!!!

[crazyaboutrocs]

Joe, take lots of pics and enjoy it, because what starts out as this:

Grows quite quickly:

only two years and five months between the pics. Time does fly.

[Michael Bee]

[punchbug]

I have survived the weekend, and we came out of it with a new addition, which I will post pictures of at some point. I hope to dump a whole batch of them at some point, so stay posted. maybe today I will go hit up some free WIFI? cute baby Joe!

Eating Borscht at the moment. Got the bug aligned, got some bulbs planted, and. Next is the ever popular aluminum in some form or other. Supposed to rain the rest of the week. We need it, but it is nicer to garden when it isn't't raining.

Oh, and we have a new addition. She rattles.

[vwdaun]

So are you going to keep teasing us or post up some pics?

Oddly, I don't think I have any. And of course I can't get my pics off the camera anyway...my dongle got lost at Beer Turkey.

[punchbug]

What. Nothing all day? Slackers!

[punchbug]

Oh Hi!!! Brian, where IS everyone?

[85roccoZ400]

No idea! I was just saying . . . Been so busy!
