 :cheers2:

Got here about noon. Spent some time under a car [not mine] still won't start.

Went over to the host hotel, got Dan's car inside in the registration area. Also got the displays set up next to Dan's car. Then met with some BCA folks about 65GS.com becoming a division. This will help keep the registry going and bring both the registry and site some more exposure.

 More interest + more participation = more GS knowledge to share.

 Many thanks to all who have sent their BCA  number and name to me to help in this effort.

A small group of '65 GS folks met for dinner and we also had a '66 owner in attendance.

Been a long  but crazy fun day,

  Loren

Rob & I made Des Moines 3 am. Trouble with tow vehicle. Driving along and no power, eventually engine dies. Gassed up in northern Iowa before this started. Truck Did this 4 times.

Bad gas? Fuel filter? Fuel pump? Other?

Got here about noon. Spent some time under a car [not mine] still won't start.

It was my car he was under. Was cruising down the highway enjoying the early morning sun (got over 90 later in the day) when all of a sudden - silence. The engine just turned off. Thought it was out of gas as the gauge read about 1/8th tank - nope, that wasn't it. The engine would spin nicely but not a hint of spark. Had it flat bedded to the hotel. Found a wire on the starter had either fried or just broken loose so we jacked up the car and fixed that (thank goodness for mini starters) but still no spark. The car was scheduled to be on display in the hospitality room at 3:30 so we pushed it into Loren's trailer (I steered so thanks to Roxy, Becky, Loren and John Egel) and headed to the host hotel. There we rounded up some more 'volunteers' (thanks to Al Jones and Roger Sears) and pushed it into the hotel with me steering (notice a pattern here ?).

Will head over today and clean up the car and take pictures of the display, etc then continue to work on the car - it will leave under its own power !

Ah, the challenges of 50 year old cars.

THANKS LOREN !!!

Sorry to hear of all the mechanical difficulties.  Good luck with diagnosis and repairs!  All I can say is the beer will taste even better when all is fixed!
