(chest sticking out)... I hope that day does come when I need to fly out to Montana or the northwest and drive or haul it back. So,what was this post about again??

...and uhh,the next one he uncovers goes to ME! I asked him at least 3 years ago to keep an eye on them and we almost had one that went into lockup and...well,whatever happened,it happened and I'm proud to be the first guy in line.

Sounds like a meet at your place,Jon. Freak,Andrew,and the Rev. G.L. Fivespeed.....

hahaha,well,that's really kind of you but I'd never be able to accept it.You sure did just give me a shove in the right direction,being I'll have an audience actually willing to pay for me:lol: ....maybe I can talk the wife into something...bring the kids to Storyland or some crap like that.We'll see,no promises though. Just filled up the '89 GL Touring wagon with the cheap 87 octane,from just before the tank empty warning light going on.......$49.00 for 15 gallons!!I top it off,especially during the spring and fall for consideration of tank condensation. I'd like to run into Konrad again too! I'll work on the wife this week.

Oh baby,like I'm going to pass on it now that Electrodyne is out of them?....I'll be up there soon Jon,or maybe you can make it to Connie's place for her meet.

Nice cars considering where you are!

Please get a set for me too!!!...if available.Thanks!!

Bump for New England/northern NY ,etc. I'll try,but right now with the list of things to do and the price of gas it's very unlikely that I'll make it unless we decide to make a small family vacation out of it.Even then it'll be a chore. Well,at least I got the post started and hopefully some of you guys will get to meet and have fun. Please consider the drive down to NJ sometime.The Pine Barrens are awsome to drive through.And,we get more of the east coast crowd together. Have fun!

Check with PHATBRAT.Find him in the members list and email him.He's busy so PM won't get you a response too quickly.He's in Mount Holly.

Eclectrodyne has them.THey have a few left as I know it.And they are very reasonable!

Fun and adventure,a little drama,all worth it.Nice little haul.

...yeah,when he actually answers his phone... Dead???!!! Geez,what else with this thing?You didn't say anything about that issue....and my brand new battery??I hope it's still holding some juice,but I guess this is turning into one big loss for the home team.

Nice job!

Way to go! Good luck with it.

Yeah,we'd really like to be living somewhere around Bangor or eastward along the shoreline.I'll make it up there again this year or next.I try to hit the yards in not-so-Freeport,miss Junkyard Gabe again ,then head northward. Downeast has plenty of older Subarus still dotting the roads.I saw a few sweet EA81 and EA82's.More of them where the earnings are lesser.Lots of thrifty New Englanders.Kind of like a little Vermont in Maine. I wish I could just hop in the car and make all these trips,but I do indeed get to a few.Any excuse to see northern New England helps.Much healthier than life down here. Hey,how's the yards for older Subarus up your way?? Any longtime specialty shops or 70's cars sitting around? J/Y Gabe wiorks at the second yard on the left in Freeport,down Alling Ridge Rd I think it is.But the yard before his has a lot of older interesting vehicles,and they keep them there,not crush them.Gabe's yard is notable for EA81,82,Legacy stuff.Both recommended. Clue us in on any good yards.We'll make a list of favorites in New England and occasionally meet at them as we can. Cheers, Paul

Good luck on that one.I know there's plenty of off roading in Maine,and that huge killer mud event that I just missed last year. THere's an outside chance I might make a run up to Milt's near Machias sometime before the overnights hit freezing.

By the way....this is an EXCELLENT shot for a timer,while balanced on a can or whatever Dave used. Luc trying to make the old devil horns on dad.Apple doesn't fall far from the tree I suppose.

Be sure to tell them it's(EA82) the overhead CAM engine,not the overhead valve engine(EA81).

....yeah,mine too.....who took that shot??!!??!!! Well,we did get muddy,and yes I'll completely agree that this picture make us look mighty lame.There's actually a lot more mud and water,even right now during the wicked dry spell we're in.(no campfires for the overnight...bummer) I swear,the next day,Luc and I hit more water/mud than we did all day Saturday,but I'm NOT complaining.We had a BLAST on the dry,smooshy stuff. We need video of the whoopdee doo sections.Holy horse,that stuff was rough but you know what I say........Fear is never boring!

Thanks to Frank for leading most of the day!! Good to meet him.He's a great guy for a young Baja owner. Dave and Melissa,thanks for showing up when you could have gone to the drags,etc...you guys are always fun to be with. To those of you thinking of going to the Pine Barrens sometime with us,or on your own,it was a near perfect weekend for us.The trails are much more interesting now than when we first started going there as a group in 2001.All it needs is some water to make it as little more fun. Saturday,we tore up the trails driving some of the hard packed runs at speeds over 45MPH!!,at times.Dust was the only drawback. Today,Luc and I did just about everything we wanted to,and amazingly,we hit trails that we did not get to on Saturday! I got stuck for about 2-3 minutes.Before burying myself deeper,I was smart enough to get out of the car and dig a little,wedge a tree limb under the rear wheel,and get out fairly quickly.Sucks when you're stuck with a 7 year old miles into the forest,so I'm thankful for getting out quick.I've got the Park Ranger number on my phone,just incase. Today's list of critters found or caught: Lizards-got some extreme close ups of one little guy,saw another up close,and another fairly close. Deer,on Monday we spooked two big bucks,Saturday saw 2-3,and Sunday another 3.They REALLY spook easily and run far and fast when happened upon.Not at all like the deer up here closer to the cities and suburbs. Turtle,nice shell,cool designs on the "tiles" of his shell.Bright orange and black pattern on the legs. Toads,very cute,pudgy,all were short,not much bigger than a tree frog.No fat toads like in the fairy tales,or former pitcher for the Yankees. Praying Mantis -sure,we've all seen them,but they are getting more rare,I believe,and it was my son's first. Hawk -kind of looked like a red-tail but was lacking the brightness in color on the tail.Flew right over us while we fished,being chased by a few smaller birds,like starlings. My son took in a fish that I'm still not sure what kind it was.It had no scales and was much like a brooktrout.BUT,this fish had a W I D E mouth with seriously sharp teeth.The longer teeth being on the lower jaw. We also saw an ant that was super bright orange and was rather large. Lots of interesting insects down there.And,we saw some colorful minnows in the river too.Not just the silver sides like we're used to seeing up here. The Pine Barrens is a very interesting part of the east coast. Thanks for reading.Hope you can make it next time. Cheers!

nyuk nyuk nyuk...... Just rip it apart and start taking pictures already!!!

It's almost in Canada.It'll take you a good 6 1/2 hours from the ME/NH line at least.I think it's actually more like 8 hours. Yes,my turbo wagon has also suffered due to Miles' bailing out.But,he's who he is so I guess none of us lost money betting he'd show up.I had some hope but when I saw he'd moved westward,well,I blew out the candle in the window. Milt,sorry to hear about all those cars going to the grave.I hope things get better for you.I'd love to be there helping out but this year is a tough one to downeast.Norma called when she was passing through,but we were both working and she talked to my mother inlaw.Too bad,would have been nice to see her again. Maybe I can run out there with Luc,but I'm not sure.If you give up on it I'll surely through you something for some parts. Hmmm,maybe I can bring up some of the cedar cuts,etc. too.Smoke coming out of my ears....we'll talk soon.I'll pick up the phone and call,like in the good old days. Ahhh,life.I guess I shouldn't complain about being busy. What's that slogan? "Maine,the way life should be".

Thanks Connie!! I know I recently saw a throw out bearing alone on eBay.Should be one at one of the local stores.

I'm going to make a bumper sticker....."No Fat Cases!" My '78 just turned 87k tonight! Just an old baby.

OKee doh kee... We will defintiely meet at the Red Lion Diner at the intersection of rts. 70 and 206 Saturday morning around 9AM. We might bail out on the Friday night camping,just because of the traffic.We'll see. Either way,count on me being there.
