February 5, 200818 yr Author So I'm thinking we meet at the gas station at 10 am then head down 6th towards 70, then to the beaujo's here: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=JhY&resnum=0&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=bo+jo%27s+pizza&near=Idaho+Springs,+CO&fb=1&cid=0,0,13514799341330689998&sa=X&oi=local_result&resnum=1&ct=image Then we'll sit around and take annyoing pictures of Jeff to post...and... I donno what else.
February 5, 200818 yr Phil fails at spelling Beau Jo's on google. I vote we take this route: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=10200945315437794559,39.741891,-105.516816&saddr=CO-93+and+Washington,+Golden,+CO&daddr=39.742042,-105.285416+to:1517+Miner+St,+Idaho+Springs,+CO+80452+(Beau+Jo's+Pizza)&mra=dpe&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=11&via=1&sll=39.737818,-105.332794&sspn=0.218598,0.466919&ie=UTF8&z=11&om=0 I-70 would save 10 minutes, but its less scenic and has more hills than US 6.
February 6, 200818 yr Author Isn't that what I said? FYI I asked my father how to spell Beau Jos... I had no idea.
February 10, 200818 yr Author phil made a spelling error?ha ha... this could be a sign of the apocalypse I think the real sign is you spelling apocalypse correctly!:-p
February 10, 200818 yr I think the real sign is you spelling apocalypse correctly!:-p i better be able to spell apocalypse, there was the first sign, now i just need to be chevy free and there will be another sign.
February 11, 200818 yr I did a post, http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=85112 but I'll put it here too. I'm at 199,964, and every mile of that is me. We reset the odometer when the beefaru was built in '96. This is a pretty cool thing for me. Anyone wanna ride shotgun for short ride to 200k?? I was thinking of a short jaunt up to genesee or redrocks for a photo. Company would be great. Gotta do it soon though, I'm runnin' outta miles fast! --Eric
February 12, 200818 yr Anyone wanna ride shotgun for short ride to 200k?? Believe it or not, I actually got the original builder on the phone. He wants to meet this week and see the car. If no one else wants to ride along, I might do the short run to 200k with him shotgun. However...... This could be the perfect time for you guys to catch up to him about how to build that 411 dual range legacy/rx combo tranny. He implied he's for hire regarding building that tranny. Maybe we can do a group pitch-in and he can teach us how to build it.
February 12, 200818 yr Jeebus! If only I wasn't starting a new second job.... If I am free, I might show up in one of my Subies!

Interesting....I would like to turn my spare RX tranny into 4.44 if possible, with the real low range, and I wan't to keep the center locking diff....that would be exactly what the rig needs! Eric I'm close and we can run up the highway at 100mph on that Digidash of yours for the magical 200k mark! Of course timing is everything and I'm busy tonight...maybe tomorrow after I get off work. Ring me if you haven't hit 200k by tomorrow night.
February 15, 200818 yr 199,985 I've been staying at home writing a book. I had to get valentine's supplies today though. A true test of Subaru loyalty: Go farther for nice flowers and add more miles, or stop two doors down at Walgreens and get the cheap ones? I've got enough miles left to make it to Red Rocks or the big hogback ridge just to the east. Should make for a nice picture, and appropriate since I'm a musician and the Beefaru's been hauling my gear for over 10 years. Haven't heard back from the builder, and tomorrow night I have to gig. So maybe the little lady and I can roll to 200k tomorrow before we go skiing. If I use my gfriends outback for the gig tomorrow, I can put it off till Saturday. Anyone up for Saturday?? Keith wanted to take a picture of the spedometer at 100mph with the odo. at 200,000. Nice idea, but too much traffic within 15 miles of here. I'll call you Keith.

I thought when we talked on Tuesday you were going to hold on to the hood while I took it up to 100mph for the 200k mark? :lol: Eric and I shall have this documented tomorrow as I have the day off (first one besides holidays in almost a year!) Will try and get it on video for the rolling.. I look at it as actually somewhat historic, gotta be one of the first EJ22 (with lots of other specials) converted EA82 Wagon's to roll 200k since it's conversion. Gotta hand it off to Eric for taking such good care of it. Off for Valentine's night..Eric call me in the morning Woot!
February 15, 200818 yr Author 8 days away... anyone want to get this thread back on track?:-p Mike deserves a hot juicy burger....
February 15, 200818 yr Scary. Not like, The King scary, but still scary. The hatch is ready for some pizza!
February 16, 200818 yr Author Scary. Not like, The King scary, but still scary. The hatch is ready for some pizza! I didn't realize I was that scary... GOSH!
February 19, 200818 yr I deserve a hot, juicy burger! P.S. Still have a leaky water pump. I got emo this weekend about fixing it. Can I ride shotgun? Not about to drive it up to Idaho Springs while leaking coolant.
