Re: Labor Day Run
Thanks again to the VM crowd! A great route and fun to again be with drivers... The two Porsche 912s were actually 2.7L cars. One (John's) had the 2.7 6 cyl swap and mine had the 2.7L FAT Performance Type IV 4cyl. Outlaws from a different (but Slate Gray) mother...
See u next time...will download and post any good pics of the group.

Re: Labor Day Run
I forgot to take pictures at the Colony Plaza and remembered at the Rock Store Overlook. Adam's MGB and a lot of skid marks.photo gallery.
Leif and his father came in Leif's MGB GT with supercharger.
Dr. Tom Bellows' 69/79 MGB. Thanks for bringing being such a good sport.
Geoff has an interesting parking brake. He had a minor fuel leak, but everything else seemed to be running well.
Steve's MGC GTS. Beautiful as usual.
Stewart's 75 MGB with supercharger and Tanny's 67 MGB GT at the top.
Gene's 47 MG TC raised from the dead and back on the road again and nothing that we know of fell off. I love that car.
Malcolm's 66 MGB GT in a beautiful dark red. His and my brakes celebrated the ritual of the smoking brakes at the bottom of Tuna Canyon.
John, Linda, and Dr. Tom.
Tyson's MG Midget and Larry's MGB. Sorry, don't know the years. As usual, you can see the rest of the pictures at my - Steve Simmons

Re: Labor Day Run
Great pics. I especially like the "aged" photo of the lineup.
Hey Tanny, you really have your technique down for photographing yellow cars.

The nice thing about having shitty paint on my car, I didn't even flinch with the gravel.tannyo wrote:
With the small exception of gravel on Latigo Canyon the run was glorious! Many wonderful roads and Latigo Canyon was fun even with the rooster tail of gravel coming up from Steve's MGC. I kept my distance.
A million thanks to Stewart for helping me get my car sorted. Aside from a fuel leak, my car ran awesome, better than it ever has in my possession. Some of those steep turns on Latigo, I felt like my car would have struggled before, but it pulled well.
Stoked.

Re: Labor Day Run
Thanks to the work of Steve in reducing my pictures, here they are. There were still some that were too large, but this will give you an idea.

On some of our Datsun FunRuns we have put names in a hat and then drew for a lucky winner who received a pic from Paul or Victory Jon. Everyone enjoyed the fun.
