September 25, 200322 yr Getting stuck in a huge puddle and having to get pulled out by a touring wagon and then having to pull the drain plugs to empty out the gallons of water would stink. I wish I had a winch, but I still have my trusty come-along......and somemore straps....
September 25, 200322 yr I think the thing to do this year is to have the strap already attatched and coiled up in the interior through an open window.Once stuck,just heave the strap off the port bow and hope a good strong sailor comes along.
September 26, 200322 yr Are you a good sailor? Maybe a tug boat captain. pulled my tug out of the pond. That's a good idea, should I hook one to the front and the back? I'll call one of my old army buddies and get my hatch ready to be sling loaded under a Blackhawk just in case your idea doesn't work.
September 26, 200322 yr Author we should get tshirts made up... "i sunk my car at pine barrens" - itll be like a club and EJ, Bruce with the green brat, and the creep with the XT6 from way back can be the presidents
September 26, 200322 yr you know the old saying Dennis, the one about rocks and glass houses... Have you figured out how to use a clutch yet? Whats that smell? Clutch smells funny when its hot doesn't it? hehehe....
September 26, 200322 yr Author haha i was wondering what that smell was - and if it had anything to with dumping the clutch at 5 grand. it sucks that the RX wont make this trip, im kinda wishing i could bring it but by the time the meet rolls around itll have expired stickers on it and itll no longer be insured until i fix somethings... but ill have the XT with me, the Xpert came by work today and saw it.
September 26, 200322 yr Dennis,do you need dough for the window to get the sticker?? I'll help you out.Email me if you do.I'll send what you asked for...whatever that was... Ahoy thar maytee!!!!!
September 27, 200322 yr Author paul its not the only reason its not making the trip ill send you an email about it...
September 30, 200322 yr Looks like you need to put a "Maybe" next to my name. Great Northern Woods Club rally is that weekend and if our rally car is back together in time I'll have to be there. Won't really know until the week before. I will however take this moment to let everyone know that there is a TSD rally held on a lot of the same roads driven for the meet, on Nov. 22nd. I WILL be there for that! Rock On! Keith
September 30, 200322 yr I might be there. Its my spring break and it looks like I'm getting a brat. If I dont have it yet, maybe I could catch a ride with mikldom or see if the bushbrat is making the trip. Anyone else from the 757 making the trip?
October 1, 200322 yr maybe this time i'll acctually be able to come, bring the ole wagon.. would have to ride tho, don't think my 2wd would get very far well it might get pretty far down in the sand... gonna tell my wife to take off that saturday.. if she can get it off then we'll come.. maybe i can buy svxperts hatch before hand.. i'll let ya'll know closer to the date if i'm gonna make it for sure or not.. i could always bring the ole ford and be rdy to pull ya all out when ya get stuck of course if it got stuck it'd take 3 soobs to pull it out

October 3, 200322 yr Originally posted by Skip Is anyone thinking they are brave enough to try camping? Camping? How about this! Directions to AC! I'm going Gambling! Daddy needs to pay off his new toy! Seriously, I'd probably go to Atlantic city, play some poker, and then drive back home. BUT, that is only if I can make it. Keith
October 4, 200322 yr I live about 10 mins from AC, never go there myself but I can get you there from the meet. Let me know.
October 5, 200322 yr Does anyone use any kind of Radio comunication during these runs? CB or Walkie Talkie? I have both and they're comin' to the Barrens. I have a 40 ch CB mounted in the armrest and 2 wrist watch 2-way radios(very James Bond a.k.a I'm a dork) w\1 mile range. Just checking to see if I'lle the only dork there.
October 5, 200322 yr But not everyone has radio's, If you coming with your's I'll make sure I get my CB back in my car. Some people might even have FSM radios, I have a couple so if anyone has those types we can all keep in touch. Good idea.....I guess I really need to have one so when I get STUCK I can call for Dave and Paul to come save the day......
October 6, 200322 yr swamped last time, everyone went down those powerlines and I went down to check on everyone. Thanks anyway...
