    Spring!

    Well, we have had about a week in a row of warm and sunny now, so today was serious car cleanup day. The 911 C4S, the Cherokee Trailhawk, and the 'Gen III SHO all got washed and waxed outside, insides vacuumed and leather hit with cleaner and conditioner. They all look great and now I am done...

    Car Show Season

    Well, the Ladysmith, BC Show and Shine was yesterday. Last week I gave the old girl a serious cleaning and after helping set up the show I parked her in what would eventually be a shady spot into the afternoon. The show went very well. We had well in excess of 200 cars. Closed down the...

    Well, that was surprising...

    Jeannie has been bugging me to relate this one. For the last couple of years I have only really licensed the SHO for short periods, that is days or a month, mainly to take her to some car shows. Well, this year we have had some visitors scheduled so with the idea of having a vehicle that could...

    Around The Block... x4

    Well, having last run the old girl back in early January, and that time it being outright messy out so it was just a warm up, this time with the road being dry from a second day in a row of sun, I spun her up and took her for a bit of a drive. The Gen III remains a really fine sedan. Runs...

    OK, this is interesting

    Well, yesterday I moved the old girl out onto the grass to do some cleaning and everything was fine until I tried to put her back away. No start. Battery is fine (12.8v standing cold), juice gets to the lights and such, but not even a click off the relay. Totally dead. Anyone have a thought...

    Spring Time

    Well, Friday I was off to the license and insurance people here in Lotus Land (Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada) and a couple of hundred bucks later the SHO was legal to drive around for the summer to take her to some show and shines. Next, I guess, I need to do some seriously major...

    Startups during winter storage

    Well, last winter was the first that I had the old girl sitting for the season and just covering her up and doing nothing did not work well. By spring stuff was stiff and stale. So this year I am leaving her under cover but not under a fitted cover and so far starting her up, getting to...

    Changing out alternator

    I am putting in a new alternator and my sub frame with both fastners on one side loosened off only wants to drop about 3/8 of an inch, and I need it down maybe 3/4. Anyone have any thoughts on what might be the hang up (literally)? pax, smn

    New Daily Driver

    Well, with over 200k on her and some long car trips in our future, I decided it was time to shift the SHO over to collector car status and just use her on warm and sunny summer days plus the occasional Show & Shine or when I really need a back seat. Her replacement is a new to me 2011...

    200k

    Well, the old girl just got a toss things at her for her 200k birthday. New Coil On Plugs, new plugs, new filters on everything that they do filters for, including the transmission, along with a trans fluid flush, MAF sensor cleaned, idle adjusted, coolant flushed, etc. If anyone can think of...

    Very Taken Apart

    Well, my SHO is 2 weeks into a pretty total body rebuild and dropping by Little Valley Restorations today she is very taken apart. New metal going in all over the place to replace things rusted out or just starting to rust as a result of her first half of her life as an East Coast car. They...

    For You Manual Fanatics ;)

    Some around the SHO forums are serious manual transmission supporters. If you are one of them, you might find this article rather funny. And if you are not, you still might. :) http://ca.askmen.com/top_10/cars/top10-reasons-real-men-drive-stick_1p.html pax, smn

    ScanGauge II

    Just got one of these yesterday and installed it. Most cool. Runs off data gathered for the OBD computer and can display up to 4 values real time (plus the normal OBDII codes and such). The package is about 5 inches long and 1.5 inches high, maybe an inch thick. Fits just perfectly into that...
