I met up with Keith and Adam in Oregon and stayed at my Sisters Log mini Mansion. Headed out the next morning after a wee bit of drinking.

Theeeeeeeeeeeennnnn....We got bad Gas in Burns Oregon at the Shell Station. Which TOTALLY screwed up the next 2 days of driving.

Refer to this thread for more explanation of the situation as I am busy changing my Fuel Filter and will return in 27 million years...

I was supposed to get some pics from Keith but I didn't BECAUSE I WAS TOO BUSY PULLING MY FUEL FILTER 10 BILLION TIMES A SECOND!!!!!!!! Seriously though. Sometimes we would only make it 5 miles until the Fuel Pump Sock would clog again. Fuel all over the Engine Bay every time purging the Filter. You could say I was not a Happy Camper. Then Keith started having issues too. So any time either one of us would stop we would have to pull our Filters off and try to blow in the line to back flush the crap out of the Fuel Pump Sock.

Ultra, uber, Mega GGGHHHHHEEEEEEYYYYYY!!!!! !!!!

So then we finally stopped one time as my car was dying only to have me take a wrong turn into a parking lot with a Car Display Ramp. Keith and I looked at each other and I went straight to backing up the Ramp! Dropped the Drain Plugs and let her rip. Filled up again and 5 miles down the road she was clogged AGAIN. Only this time with a FULL TANK OF GAS!!! So we drove and drove 5-20 miles at a time until we finally hit Wyoming and stopped. We were going to burn up our Fuel Pumps and be screwed. So we Pulled the Plugs, Pump and cleaned the Sock at a Hotel Parking lot.

So those are mostly pics from Keith. I started taking pics AFTER we cleaned our Fuel Pump Socks and got on the road.

600 Miles at an average of 90 after the cleaning! =0

Then we got caught up in a Twister....Yay!!! That TOTALLY screwed our "East Bound and down laoded up and Truckin' We gonna do what they say can't be done..." attitude we had. So we stopped at the nearest overpass and proceeded to have a beer...lol or two.

Luckily I had brought my Rain Gear a 10' section of Climbing Rope and a bunch of Carabiners just in case we were going to go we would all go together!

It was safe so we left only to catch up to the same storm and have to pull over again. Then we said screw it and tried to beat it...We eventually did and here is some of Keith and Adam in the Lightning...

GHHEEEEEEEEE....I WONDER WHY????


http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h41/generacerator/Branson%20Z%20Fest%202010/DSC00274.jpg


Fixed! Luckily 1990FairladyZ had a COMPLETE Suspension kit at his house and his wonderful wife brought the parts I needed the next day. Thanks Donna!!!


On the road again for some Cruising!

Then Steve's car skipped a few Teeth on the Timing Belt and was done for the weekend...MGH Steve and I were attacked by Ticks and Chiggers until the Trailer showed up with some beer so we could forget about the 2 1/2 hour wait! lol

Then I had to change my Fuel Pump because it died just as I suspected from running it with a clogged Sock for so long. VERY surprised Keith's didn't die either.

Here is the car show. There were a lot of prizes and Blue took First Place in the N/A Class!!! Better than last year as I took Second last year. I think some people felt sorry for me with all of the issues I had. I will tke it any way I can get it though!


Thanks Dudes. I really appreciate the votes. You all know who you are. =)

An old Dude that I met and hung out with for a bit. Been coming to Branson for 27 years or something to hang with buddies. Every year same time and place. He was picking up Cigarette Butts that our crew had left behind. I was embarrassed because I was just telling him that we had a pretty decent crew that came here every year also. All of my Butts go into my pockets or the Garbage. It was REALLY disappointing to see how much trash our CREW left behind.

IT IS NOT THAT HARD PEOPLE PICK UP YOUR ****ING SHITTTTT!!!!!!!!!! I am amazed that the Hotel doesn't ban us from being there because of the way we leave the place. Simply disgusting.


Me and Dude picked up Trash and Butts for about 2 hours straight. Bullshit guys. Unacceptable.

Well as I was about ready to leave I decided to start my car and let it warm up. I heard this horrible loud grumbling from the Engine. I was like OHHHHHHH SHIT....Not again, not something else! Well I shut her down and popped the Hood. Grabbed on to my Fan to spin it and it had about a 1/2 inch of play in it. Dead Fan Clutch. I looked over down into the Parking Lot and saw Matt Schumacher (Evil Twin)loading his 700+ HP Z32 that dominated the Z32 Class at the Track the day before onto his Trailer. So I ran down and convinced him that he needed to let me have his Fan Clutch!

Thank you sooooooooo MUCH Matt!!!!!! Matt got a brand new Fan Clutch in the mail as soon as I got home too! I was able to swap it out and hung out while he loaded up his car and got things ready to go. I decided to stay another night and not fight it.


That night another Matt(Flawleszz) asked me for a ride to the Chevy Dealer in the morning as they had lost the keys to their Rental. So I stayed and had dinner then headed out in the morning.


These are some shots of the sky right before I left Branson. Straight from Van Gogh Starry night or something. Very cool to see.

Then I was FINALLY on my way Home. A little Speeding here and there with a stop back in Burns to chat with the Owner of Burns Shell which resulted in him giving me and Keith some money for the whole debauchery of the Fuel.

Yah, people should resize, or set P/B to resize at upload. At least one of you guys changed the auto-size limit here so the pics appear a little larger. :)

Perhaps it's your wheel/tire choice by using something that has a larger diameter than oem spec.

Looks like an awesome trip, one thing I will say though is...
you need some turbos :P


Not sure what you are talking about. All of the pics show my Temperature Gauge right in the middle.

I know I need to resize the pics but I hate it when you click on a pic to look at it in a bigger size to see detail and the picture size does not change. Lame. Sorry for my lack of re-sizing dudes.

Very nice road trip! Sucks you had so many problems! Wish I would have kept my NA to do road trips cause I dont want to put so many miles in my TT. But very nice photos of the hills and rock walls!
