Brutus is alive and well!!!
I picked up Bob (Brutus) yesterday from the airport. The flight was on time but his luggage took long time to arrive... We went to my place and has some beers.... :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :jester :jester
We were chatting and drinking until almost 2 AM... This morining I went to Charlies Auto Glass to get my new windshield installed... ($200 installed - what a deal!!!!). The trip to the Auto Glass place also was my first test drive with the new carb... The engine ran over 20 degrees cooler with the new carb.. I might be running too rich even though there's no indication of that (no black smoke and car runs very smooth).... Maybe I need to do some adjustments on the carb....
:cheers:

I'm afraid that I won't be able to get the car dyno tuned before Drag Race event at Bradenton... I didn't do any ajustments to the carb exept changing the jets and setting the idle.... I might need to do some adjustments to get the maximum performance.. I have to get a Holley tuning book!!!

Glad to see that freak made it safe and sound. Just keep your eye on him, he'll drink you into bankruptcy :lol: and don't let him eat that nasty baby poop (vegemite) either :lol: :jester
I'd sure like to see the look on his face when you drop him off at my house and there's new owners :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :jester really though, glad you made it with your luggage this time!

I hope that he won't die from dehydration... There were only 8 beers left in the fridge but they are probably gone by now...

Re: Brutus is alive and well!!! (silvervetteman)
Yes I arrived here safe and sound (Scott may debate the sound part tho :yesnod:). Olivier is a great host and an even better barman. You gotta love a person who doesn't let your beer run out. :D
I'm looking forward to seeing as many Forum people as possible while I'm here as well as giving Scott his annual dose of Vegemite. He really does love the stuff despite what he might say in public.
:eek:
Well Olivier will be home soon and then we're going to install his new Griffin radiator. Catch you all soon........especially you Scott.....I'll be there before you know it. :lol:
