| Description: | The gang had a
grand old time at Jim's this weekend. Laura put out a great spread and
some of the wives brought there own goodies. Beer, soda, hotdogs and
burgers abounded. After a good lunch and lots of Lotus car talk.
Jim took the time to balance DomG's carbs with his expert hands before the
drive.
After we were all full, we took a 45 minute spirited drive through the
foothills of New Jersey lead by Joe Saturnia. At one point things got a
bit too spirited and we lost part of the caravan. Jim dropped back in
his Elan and cell phone in hand managed to find the lost crew and lead them
back on route. As you can see from the photos we passed a number on
bicycle riders as the day's weather was great. DomG had some trouble
with his gears as witnessed by some crunching noises during the drive.
Everyone made it back and more car talk continues. Jim made a few more
carb adjustments but neither he nor Dom looked for the crunching gear problem.
Coffee and cake and cookies were great and folks stated to head home by 5PM.
A few folks started a round of test driving each others cars while DomG headed
off into the sunset. About 10 minutes later he called for Jim to help as
his clutch petal went right to the floor at a light and the slave cylinder
pissed away his brake fluid. Tom Murry had been following him in his S2000 so
both searched for what appeared to be missing pieces. By the time Jim
and DomM arrived in DomM's Yellow S4s, Jim was holding a spare slave cylinder
and both were laughing at DomG's predicament. Thanks to the find of all
the missing pieces, the slave cylinder was put back together and, care of the
bottle of brake fluid on hand (DomG came prepared), it was properly bleed and
he was on his way.Who says LEO runs are uneventful?
