The "london fog" just set in for me. I called Mike to get an undate on my car. It was supposed to be ready today. Apparently the heads were never finished, the shop that does them didn't order the seals or something. Here's where it gets 5hitty; my wife and I were supposed to take a road trip on Mon to Crater Lake to put on some miles. We were looking to rack up at least 900-1000 miles. This way I could get the break in done have it tuned the early part of the week before Subiefest and then head to Portland that Fri. Now all that goes to hell. Chances are likely the car will be ready, at the earliest, Tues night. Wed is open for the odometer. Thurs-Sat(29-31) I work from 6am-6pm. Sun-Tues(1-3) I have to have at least 1200 miles on it and have it tuned because I work again Wed-Thur(4-5) Then we leave early morning on the 6th. Can it be done? It leaves no margin for error. No time to tweak the tune. No time for anything. Should I just drive the Bimmer to Subiefest?

Help me plan a road trip.

 

i would push for the suby then if all else fails take the bimmer.Just my .02

 

I don't want to be the LameO, showing up to Subiefest in a Bimmer.

 

yea, driving a BMW to suby meets is lame...the people who don't know you look @ you funny.

 

How about a drug run to TJ? Thats about 1000 there and back.

 

WHen I'm in the Bimmer and wave at subies I get the look, then I give the finger. Anyone seen my finger?LOL

 

I hear importing illegal stuff of the human kind is more profitable. Good thing I got a wagon.
Funny, thanks for the reply.

 

god speed your driving 65mph instead of sleeping... it can be done

your bimmer was a hit at MVKK! what chu talkin bout

 

I hate that F'n car. I say again, LameO=driving Bimmer to Subiefest, Jeff no LameO.

 

you need to upgrade it to the twin turbo

 

Coming out to my place and back is like 100.

You guys could go to monterey and mess around then home. That's like 3-400. Shoot just run down to socal...or you could drop the car off with me for a couple days and I'll put some miles on it for you and you can blow mine up. Figure 100-200 miles just on commuting and what not in just like 2 days. I might be going to Paso this weekend as well. That's miles right there.

 

I'll tell you what, I just had to bring it in for the "Bimmer 90K time for everything to break service". $1400, this was valve cover gasket, 1 O2 sensor, thermostat, coolant resevoir, control arm bushings. I need one with a warranty soooooooo bad.

 

I know it can be done. I don't like playing devil's advocate especially when time is not on your side. Paso=no go for me. I won't get it back until the earliest Tues Night.

 

That's an idea. If I go to Bonneville I have to go with a tune. If you know what I mean....

 

I think you meant:
