'Iffin you're headed the right direction, all roads lead there!  As of last night, we were still headed the wrong di-rection!  I think we'll get turned around this morning.  A bit more of Ol' 66, then mostly Interstate for today!
 
ARE WE THERE YET???

I love a suprise meeting.   More so, I loved meeting everyone.  Once I got home, I still had to fix dinner for Debbie and myself.  It was 2:15 am when I went to bed, and then got up at 5 am.  2 hours and 45 minutes sleep, not bad.
Stayed awake for the students, but the last hour by myself was rough.   Now I need to stay awake long enough to go home, take a nap, the get up and fix dinner.
 
It was all worth it.  Not as good as making the annual meeting, but our too short McDonalds meeting was a lot better than not meeting anyone at all.
 
Now I know what Ebo looks like, he better be careful  Evil Smile
Wait a minute, he knows what I look like too.  I'd better be careful! Dead
 
Till the next time, I hope it's soon  Hug

OK finally made it to my room...

So a couple quick things to add

  • Never underestimate the attitude of a C3, one second it can be humming along at 70mph on a six lane (while you are in the middle lane) the next second it can burn out a coil and shut off.
  • Some times truckers just seem to know your in trouble and make real good driving moves to not run you over.
  • Your best bud's (C3vr family) will never leave you behind.
  • It should be a requirement that at least one person in your caravan has a trailer.
  • An ignition modual wether it is a $55 Delco or a $23 Advanced auto are both made in Singapore.
  • Tux did a fantastic job and I sure wish he be here.
  • Butch is exactly like Stingray said he was........Janie does have a halo.

And the Rookie (Dan) did a great job washing three of our cars tonight, plus he brought all of the supplys......and he was a great parts runner this morning.....he is a Keeper!

 
Norsky has not found me yet.......Wink
Tomorrow will be another awesum day!

Ok..so was it your old coil or a new one..did you have a spare module or did you have to buy one??the trucker probably saw the smoke the puffed out of your tailpipe when it died..and where is tux now??and yes Dan is a keeper!

Bought new module this morning, no change checked the new coil that I put in last Sept, wires may have been pinched by the cap and finally wore thru.....shorted out. Check on the blue smoke out of the tailpipesShocked Tux has some bigger commitments....
 
  • Oh and 8 guys can push a dead C3 up onto a trailer....even in the rainOuch

Rich, car is good....but I hear every little odd noise. It seems to be running fine. Mileage went from just under 18 to just over 20mpg after coil change.
Looks like a beautiful day here............
