I had the same issue and it turned out that I had a very dirty pollen filter. I don't pretend to understand why a dirt pollen filter would cause the AC to cycle on and off but it did. As a result I change the pollen filter once per year.

Thanks for the tip. It sounds likely, given that my car is covered in pollen every week!

dep - where are you coming from?

[Lord_Galva]

Hoover Dam!
Sorry I can't make it now.
I was sooo looking forward to meeting everyone again, and meeting the group newb "dep".

Oh, well.
As soon as Arash comes back home to the Bay Area I'll set up another GTG.

what the heck? you were good to go

[Milton-Adamou]

Hi chaps,

Count me in!
I'm in West Hollywood so all I need now is a meeting point.

cheers,


milton

woohoo!

there is another guy coming from hollywood too, 3 from san diego, 1 from orange county, likely 2 or 3 from the west side and the valley, and possibly 1 or 2 others - i think at least 8 and could be 12 from socal in all

ok - here is the route and the schedule and rendezvous points for the socal group - pick the spot that makes the most sense for you - if you miss the rendezvous, we will be heading on to the next point - this is a long drive for many of us, and i can't expect people to be hanging around waiting for people

GET TO YOUR RENDEZVOUS POINT EARLY!!! i would say a good 15 minutes early - if we get ahead of schedule, and have picked up those i know are coming, we will continue on - so, depending on the point, if you get there "on time", you could actually be late

if you don't have my cell number, send me an email and i'll send it to you - do yourself a favor and print this info:

first stop is 7:30 am at my house in south orange county for coffee and donuts and such - contact me for directions - we will depart SHARPLY at 7:50

from there we will take the 73 north to 405 north and continue on to 10 west

we then will head north on PCH - we will stop at the Von's parking lot at the corner of Sunset and PCH - there is a 76 station on the corner - this is the rendezvous spot for those coming from hollywood and the west side - our ETA is 9:15 - we will depart there at 9:20

we will then continue on north up PCH - this will take us along the coast through malibu we will make a VERY brief stop at the side of the road just north of the corner of Malibu Canyon and PCH - this would be a good rendezvous point for those coming from the valley - ETA is 9:40, so don't be late - we will only be there for 5 minutes

we then continue north on PCH through Oxnard where we will then merge onto 101

we will continue on 101 through Santa Barbara and San Louis Obispo until we get to the Hwy 1 / 101 split - if we are on schedule, we will take a detour through Morro Bay to Hwy 1 again - we then will take 46 east - this is a great stretch of road, and you'll have a blast

we are set to arrive at the parking lot at the Paso Robles Inn at 1:00 - parking could be a problem, so i will look into alternative locations, but for now, that is it

after snapping some pics and the usual, we will walk over to the Crooked Kilt for lunch at 1:30

from there we will head on to the tasting

we will be hitting tow other wineries en route to Tobin James - i promise you will not be disappointed

we will then arrive at Tobin James at 4:30 for a very special tour - then the tasting - then the pizza oven

this is going to be the best run yet - not to be missed

please feel free to contact me with any questions - if i don't have your cell phone number, please send it to me

see you all on saturday - bring your radar detector, a hat, sunscreen, water, and a full tank

dep - where are you coming from?

I'm coming from the bay area, so I can meet up in Gilroy if that's the plan.

[flash]

it is - dan will be posting his times and such shortly

[Lord_Galva]

what the heck? you were good to go

I know.
Something came up.
Please post lots of pics for me.

[ds968]

ok, NorCal group - it's about a 2hr drive ( at the posted speed limit, which none of us intend to violate of course.. ) from Gilroy to Paso Robles
so my suggestion would be to meet up at the Starbucks shack / at the Shops Outlets center off Leavesley Rd exit at approx 10:15-10:30, have a
chat for a few minutes over a cup of coffee, and start the caravan going toward Paso by 11. Actually, the way most of us drive, we'll probably arrive in Paso about 45 minutes later and then we can wait around for the Southerners to show up

As always, open to any other suggestions if anyone wants to take a different, more scenic route to Paso ( as opposed to a straight shot down on 101 ) and give ourselves a bit more time....

[ether_joe]

I'll be there!


Next year we'll all be driving Teslas. . . ??!

[Lord_Galva]

Ok, I'm back on the bandwagon again.
Don't ask why.
But I have to do an oil change on the 964. (for those of you who don't know they hold 13quarts)

huh?

more continue to add on - we now have a fair chance to exceed the largest west coast gathering yet - it's going to be fun either way for sure

i am playing smart and not risking not being finished with some things that i had planned to have done - i have sorted out a few things from the last run, and will finally get my resonator and tip swapped back out tomorrow, but i won't get a chance to swap out my clutch disk, or to wrap the header - bummer - oh well - next week - it'll be done in time for the next event though

very much looking forward to this

[FRporscheman]

As my misfortune continues to surmount precedent, I must remain in SLO for a few days longer than I first thought. I need to be in SLO until Friday, so I thought I might as well just wait until Saturday and go to Paso.

But I ain't washin' my whip or nuthin' this time. Frak that.

You mentioned there are three guys coming up from San Diego... Maybe we could get together in SD a pool up to your area. Who are the other two?

Thanks,
Rick

Really Bob? 5:25AM for that response? We need to have a talk about a few things you could be doing at 5:25 in the morning BESIDES being on the Forums...

Anyways- yes, me and the SigOther are most definitely in. Right now, it's going to be a game-time decision on which of the P-Cars gets brought... the 968 is in dire need of new rubber in the back, and I just don't know that I'm going to have time to get it done by Friday night.

SOOOO- we may be relegated to the Boxster again (I know I know, I brought it last time), but such is life. We don't want to miss this run, regardless, so we're in even if we have to drive the SAAB!!!

I think in the future, we all need to submit our maintainence schedules to Bob a month in advance so he can plan accordingly...

So we will see everyone at Bob's Saturday morning!


Dave

how can i help you with tires? ring me up

I mapped out Bob's route (post his house) for the SoCal gang. I doubt that the link will work as it is an interactive site, but I figured what the heck.

Here are the Google Maps marker posts. Just stick these into Google Maps and it will recreate the route.
