Hi all,
I just checked out the Grand Prix web site and it sure looks like a great venue. I may come up in my daily driver just to attend the festivities. Other than Vicenc (and Ed?), who else is “in?” When are you getting there (it looks like a week-long holiday bookended by some serious weekend events)? Where are you all staying?Happy Jack -

Hey Carlisle-bound TDr’s,
I was able to borrow a 12 x 12 canopy — just in case it rains or suns on us…Now I just have to figure out how to get it into Emma — hmm — it should fit in the passenger seat well….???You all can report to Wobby that given a choice between my tea-serving-cup-tray-drive-in-diarama or a 12 x 12 canopy, I opted for… -

Hey Shu/Ed/et al
— there are some extenuating circumstances and risk factors that favor flat towing up vice driving my Tdr up to Carlisle.1. The car has a “just built” 1641 dual port engine — rebuilt by me and Royal in November and not totally checked out for long distance driving — nuf’ said……2. The car has a home-made intake man… -

HappyJack replied to the topic Spare Wheel Carrier Assistance in the forum VW Based Kits 9 years, 11 months ago
I have one of those brackets from MG Magic that I never put on Abby (my FiberFab Tdr that I sold last year). And my BCW Tdr already has a spare tire mount — so I don’t need this bracket.
It came without mounting hardware — so you d have to add those misc. nuts and bolts and washers.PM me if you are interested.Happy Jack -

Hey Roy,
Interesting reading — in digging through the 4 pages of “stuff” it appears that post # 12 hit it on the head — “Valvoline VR1 is still available and legal in California. Valvoline makes 4 “flavors” of VR1. The three obsolete ones are not available. The most popular and most used one…API SN/SM/SL is not obsolete and still a… -

Hey Kent,
Great post on the electric fuel pump relay issue. I have electric fuel pumps in both the Bugeye and the BCW Tdr — neither car has a cut out relay as you described. So, I need to rewire both cars to add this safety feature….Do you happen to have the part number for the Bosch fuel pump relay? or whatever model works with our ca… -
