I have to pass on these words of caution, seeing as how I can't actually be there to help this weekend.

Be very, very wary of carrying loads of beer in the SVX to the meet. In the Owners' Manual it is very specific about carrying around extra weight in the car. This has a bad effect on performance and mileage.

How can I say this people?

Beer is heavy!

It's easy to notice how just how heavy it is. As you drink more of it you'll notice gravity gets a stronger and stronger grip on you. Leading to complete collapse in extreme cases. Be really, really careful.

On the other hand, Asti or better still wine-in-a-box, now that has a totally different power-to-weight ratio. Ron has this sussed for a long time, even down to keeping it cooled aerodynamically on the spoiler.

Learn from the older more experienced experts.

Joe

Re: Reading 11 Swap/Buy/Sell Thread

Tom if Di says you're heavy I'm just not gonna argue the point.

Light beer eh? Is that the one that starts off as a snowflake in the Rockies somewhere and ends up with you surrounded at the scene of the crime?

Thanks,

I'll see what I can do with the pipe, I may just hang it out the back. All I have to cut with is a hack saw and a Dremmel and it feels pretty heavy. By the way I am going to be there Saturday.

Enjoy it Harry. I'm just joshing, as you know. I'll be with you all in spirit.

That's a sweet grand-daughter you've got there. Very nice to have your hands full with something so beautiful.

Joe

Thanks, Joe, and I knew you were joshing - just wish you could join us!!

And thanks, yes, we are enjoying that granddaughter! She started out right for halloween - she was dressed as a race car driver! It was had to find a driver's suit for her, because even now at just about 2 years old, she weighs only 19 1/2 lbs! See some pics at: http://s222.photobucket.com/albums/d...loween%202009/
But strong as a little ox!!

Later, Joe,
Harry

Re: Reading 11 Swap/Buy/Sell Thread

I'll also be bringing (already loaded in the car) two Kumho ECSTA SUPRA 225 50R 16 tires. Probably less than 1,000 miles on them. This is a $140 tire (now discontinued), selling for $40 each.

I'll also have two rear drilled and slotted brake rotors to "give away". I would bring the front rotors, but they have heat cracks at the drilled holes. No problem with the rear rotors .....

Harry
