Hemet this Sunday?

[slomove]

Weather forecast still looking good for Sunday.
So, who is coming for a trip around Mt San Jaquinto (150 miles)?
Idyllwild, Palm Springs, Palm Desert, back to the mountains, Anza and return. Optional long route via Borrego Spings can be decided upon in Palm Desert.

I will go anyway!

Shit.

This weekend is Supercharger Weekend where the newly aquired supercharger will be fitted to my dear old Zetec.

When this is done my supercharger-equipped car will blow everything else out of the water. Especially Brad and his non-supercharged Caterham. light as it may be...

Next weekend?

Slomove: Unfortunately I am committed to an SCCA National Solo II event on Sat & Sun here in SD. Yesterday the repairs on my car were completed and it's now blatworthy again---after almost 3 months. I'm planning to become trailerized real soon and will then be more able to attend the more distant events from SD. Looking forward to the day I can load up the 7 hit the track in Las Vegas or Crest Highway or whatever :!:

Our Exalted Webmaster and Founder, Magnus Feuer: I formally invite you to join your fellow club members @ the Streets of Willow on April 17 & 18. There, in front of all assembled 7 owners and Almighty God, I invite you to humiliate me and my wheezing puny underpowered Zetec 7. Administer the whuppin' I so richly deserve :!:

Anybody "On the Fence" about going: Here is your chance to see the first SV 500 in the USA embarass the mouthy louse from San Diego :!:

David L & Mr. Malibu: You have a new competitor. 8)

[slomove]

I am considering my options. As I said I will be going anyway but if there would be more participation the following Sunday (i.e. 3/14/04) I can change plans. A blat alone is nice but a blatitude is better :-)


Any interest?

Gert

[Michael Murphy]

I can do it on March 14th, but not this coming weekend.

[slomove]

Michael, then I will drive around home this Sunday and postpone the Hemet/Idyllwild trip until 14th.

Magnus, you think your afterburner hyperspace jet engine will be alive by then (not to mention survive the 150 miles :wink: ) ?

Brad, any plans?

Anybody else?


See you there! Gert

[magnusfeuer]

I will be there.

Although my engine will probably be like an italian, high maintenance girlfriend with an attitude, I figure that if I bring massage oil and fine wine I should be able to coax it through the day.

Can we meet up at 10:00 instead of 9:00? It is a looong drive to get to Hemet...

[slomove]

No problem with 10.00 am I am not an early bird.

Gert

[Roll a 7]

Slomove: I will be attending an inspection of my home to be conducted by the in-laws. After the Streets of Willow weekend let's put together a multi car blat. That event may stimulate more interest in a blat.

[magnusfeuer]

Hmmm.

Guess once if I've had any time this week to finish up the installation of my supercharger....

I'll try to get some time on it tomorrow and during Saturday. But I may not make it (again).

/Magnus F.

[slomove]

Hey you guys, as mentioned before I will go anyway.....

But let me know if somebody else is going to come along. If not I may hit the route a more convenient point than Hemet.

WHAT HO! Now This is what a car club is supposed to sound like! The gauntlet's been thrown down and they're off!

WHAT HO! Now This is what a car club is supposed to sound like! The gauntlet's been thrown down and they're off!

If I can get my car together, that is. If not I'll show up in my '89 Volvo 760 turbo, a mighty Swedish beast indeed.

Although it may lose the 0-60 sprint against Brad, with one or two tenths of a second, I will compensate that with my superior driving skills.

[moosetestbestanden]

I'm, ahem, reminded of the old Norveegan fight song....

Ten tousand Svedes ran tru da veeds,
Chased by vun Nor-veeg-an!

I've got a few good ones about dem der Norveegees too. I'll save em for April.

[magnusfeuer]

That song would probably stem from the Swedish king Karl XII's second invasion of Norway late 1718. Things started out fairly well (from Sweden's point of view), but went downhill rather quickly when the king got a bullet through his head. He was dead before he hit the ground.

3000 soldiers died from hunger and cold while trying to get back to Sweden.

And Brad: Don't gloat, Norway was a Danish province during the time...

Hmmm. What are the Swedes known for? Aren't they the people who built that massive ,ornate ship about three hundred years ago? The one with more cannons than any other? The one whose maiden voyage was about 100 yards, when it rolled over and sank in the harbor with all hands and dignitaries aboard because they didn't get their center of boyancy right? Could a supercharger enhance the prospects of a person from this gene pool? Alas, I think not. Perhaps a dissing contest with a Pole might yield an even match, but the proud heritage and tradition of victory posessed by the Norweigans would present a rather inpenetrable defense for one in such meager posession of the "genetic gifts"

That would be the Vasa ship, built during the reign of Gustav II Adolf (Karl XII's grandfather, if memory serves me). It had one deck too many of cannons and became a bit top heavy. When it this specific incident in Swedish history is mentioned, I usually point out the U.S. parts of my family.

When it comes to dissin Sweden, I can only say: pha!

What would a bunch of inbred fjord-dwellers know of heritage and vicotory? A quick glance at the map shows that Norway's obvious role in the universe is to act as a wind-breaker for Sweden.

That being said, I used to live in Norway when I was a little svenske-gutt. Although the natives' intelligence and primitive rituals left me frustrated, I must say I enjoyed their entertainment value.

I also saw a golden chance, at age 8, to enlighten our brotherly nation to the west. When I returned to Sweden, I left behind fire, the alphabet, electricity, and the Internet to be gawked at by the uneducated masses. I may also have introduced the concept of sex, but memory fails me here.

Magnus, I see it already coming. After such a transplant surgery your engine needs a little more recovery time. At least it may be risky to go out for a long drive before the stitches are healed and the swelling is gone.

Michael, are you still interested?

Without a doubt some "meager posession" (sic) has appeared in this thread.

Evidently the proud heritage and tradition doesn't extend to the disposition of a people, or most likely in this case only an individual, to check spelling and punctuation. A genetic gift no doubt.

[slomove]

Michael and I (and maybe Dough) are only going and we moved it coser to home. If somebody else wants to join:

Tomorrow, 3/14 at 9.00 am we meet at the Osborne exit of the 210 Fwy (where Osborne meets Foothill) to go Little Tujunga, then Agua Dulce/Vasquez Rock and back via Angeles Forest Hwy/Big Tujunga (about 90 miles?). So, Magnus, if you get your engine going maybe you want to join....
