Michigan check-in & spotting by blodi pt.2

I've heard it -- passed me at 85+ mph on I94 about 1 month ago. Sounded great (and that's from a guy with a stock /04 muffler who likes it quiet). Per my email earlier to a few of the gang, weather says we are washed out for C&C in Toledo tomorrow. Let's try for August.
 
Wow

Can't think of a summer weekend with more car events going on. :biggrin:

Patrick great seeing you and Wifey last night in A2.

BavariaJeff agreed on Toledo Cars n Cof rainout tomorrow.

Workin' & Practicn on a couple amateur photos to post up..

And weather report 1120p says may clear by noon w/a cold front. :tongue: ? Winter? :mad:

From Friday night's Rolling Sculpture Car Show in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan. Great cars, great people, and fun strolls/eats/treats:

Wild hearse drawing plenty of attention. Also saw it Saturday at the Jackson Road Cruise on Ann Arbor's west side.





Now on to Saturday's 6th Annual Jackson Road Cruise. As always, one never knows what might be seen. Or.......... unseen.

After battling a clutch that was resistant to being bled, and a mysterious (needed a scope to locate) coolant leak.....after a year and a half the purple car finally barked back to life last night :cheerful:

Make that Dr. Loveland, and I'm with 'ya ;^D

It's the same exhaust as before, but I had that stainless steel tailpipe Cerakoated in a high heat aluminized finish.

Could be!

Here's a 'before' picture, from the back.

Good to see that everyone is up and running. Engine is apparently all settled, just waiting for the EMS. You can check on the car...........

Thanks Tim, will do!
You will be amazed as to how much better everything works with a finely tuned EMS.
I need to get your power bleeder back to you, it worked like a champ........
