Last post by cstudep - April 23, 2024, 07:24:57 PMPretty sure I would have had to been all in on the go-cart's, that would be a blast I think.
Looks like you got the obligatory karaoke in as well, well done!
Japan is one place I would absolutely love to go to some day.

The Lounge / Re: Freon costs
Last post by jeff10049 - April 22, 2024, 10:59:42 PMr22 is in the process of being phased out, which might be the reason for the higher prices but $250 per lb is a little over the top. Grab your own 30 lb container of it probably last you 300 years. https://www.thebyron.shop/product/r-22-refrigerant-30lbs-new-in-box-sealed-r22-30-lb?m_currency=USD&skuid=1096836&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlZixBhCoARIsAIC745AbJF1IaesVhUIO-CxLkZoq1yCs6IIZdVwBOAr_Qc7s1FUm5kzprk0aAqlOEALw_wcB

Last post by 94touring - April 22, 2024, 08:15:27 PMI've been in Okinawa a lot this month. I have to say it's one of my favorite places to visit. Even though this is "work" it's been more like a vacation. Not that I'm a cheap bastard but the prices on things are very affordable here. 8 bucks an hour to drink and a 3 course meal consisting of steak, king crab, and a daiquiri was $48. I don't want to go home to work 
Not pictured, saw a couple classic minis and a vw bus. According to the other guys wrist machines that calculate mileage, we hiked around 22 miles. P.S the snake drink taste like spiced apples.

Daves Garage / Re: 73 Mini Innocenti 1300 Exp...
Last post by MiniDave - April 21, 2024, 01:32:17 PMFinally got back to work on the Inno, installed the fuel gauge and sender and it still works!
I've also been methodically going back thru all the gauges, lights, switches etc to make sure they were all working, and so far so good. Time to put the dash back in and button it up once and for all.

The Lounge / Re: F1 - 2024
Last post by MiniDave - April 21, 2024, 09:48:57 AMSo, did Max wrap up the 2024 Championships in China - 5th race of the year?
He finished 16 sec ahead of the field, he's only 15 pts ahead of his teammate but Red Bull is 45 pts ahead of Ferrari in P2....but at the rate their going can Ferrari catch them?
I don't think so unless something dramatic happens.....and I can't imagine what that would be other than the two
Red Bulls taking each other out.
Alonso had a record day, even tho his strategy wasn't the best. Once again his teammate lets the squad down, finishing last and wrecking two other cars and putting one of them (Ricciardo - of course) out of the race.
The Ferraris did what they could but they still finished well back of the front 3 in 4th and 5th. I don't know if this track just wasn't suited to them or what.......
Hamilton was pretty down about his car during most of the race but still managed to finish in the points.
Next up - Miami.
I have no idea who will feature there, other than Max of course.

Last post by MiniDave - April 19, 2024, 12:59:18 PMSo, did you actually cut the whole joint off or just managed to cut the circlip somehow?
