Reading not to be
 

Well the meet monster struck early this year. I have been having tranny problem again and was hoping that It would make it until after Reading. It was not to be. I am having my 5th tranny installed in 4 years. :eek: The first one was a salvage one, lasted a year, the 2nd one lasted a year, 4rd and 4th were junk from the start. and the 4th was a 3k rebuild. the 5th is a warranty rebuild. I told them I do not want the car back until it runs right and NO flaring. I had to order a flex plate, cracked, and a new radiator to make my warranty guy happy. What is 170 dollars for a new tranny. The rad was cracked anyway.

It sucks that I am just in North York and still can not manage to make a Reading meet. I will spend this Saturday doing something just as important. My 2 year old daughter is getting her first swing set. I get to build it. :D
It should last as there are no transmissions or timing belts involved with the swing set. :eek: :D

Hope that all have a blast at Reading. I can always try to make next year.

How far away is North York?

45 minutes, 30 if Di is driving:D

Sorry you can't make it Steve.

Steve, I can pick you up, and drop you off!:D

You can build the swingset Sunday!

Cracked flexplate? Missing one of the guidepins by any chance?:eek:

Tom that sounds great, I do need to check with the boss first. I also have to make sure my dad is available to help on Sunday instead of Saturday.

I will let you know one way or the other.

Steve

You have my #.:)

i might be able to have my teal there if you want an SVX to drive;)

Tom

That I do not know. Was making noise ever sence I got her back from the last tranny rebuilt in MN. About 15 months ago.

Steve

OK I will be able to make it on Saturday only.

I can drive out there if you all do not mind a 86 Volvo snotting up the beautiful scenery :D

Young Tom - If you have your teal there I would like to drive it. BIG thanks.

Old Tom - Thanks for the ride offer, I will call ya.

Steve

i will see if I can get a driver

Tom

What kind of Volvo? I used to run turbo 740s. They can be pretty quick with a bit of work.... Or an MBC set to 13+ psi ;).

It is a smokin fast 240 DL, I-4, 85hp, 5 speed. A nice fades blue color. Arm power seats, windows. It has working A/C, and not the 4/65 kind :D.
It is a free loaner car that get 30mpg on low grade.

Steve

Hey... Whatever it takes to get ya to Reading :D

It'll be nice to meet you again... You're not gonna make me carry heavy boxes this time are you??:( :D :D ;)

Not anytime soon Dave. :D

The only box I might bring is a tool box, if the Toms' need an extra hand?
