When we were leaving the park, my clutch was really stiff (felt like leg pressing a 45 lb weight) and when I turned my steering wheel it was stiff or grinding. On the floor there was a ginormous puddle of fluid.

Anyways, AAA got it towed for me to the hotel and then this morning I got it towed from SLO to my Porsche mechanic. Keeping fingers crossed that it's not too crazy. Oh well, like I said it was a great time and I'm sure it'll all get resolved.

Between Ross and I, we have enough miles to send Michael home, lol. Kind of sucks, and hope you get that sorted out soon Mike.

Michael was a trooper though. Didn't stop him from continuing to party with the rest of us.

BTW, glad to finally meet you "TINY"!! When I first saw you walk up I was wondering who brought the bouncer to the BBQ?? HAHAHHAHA!!!!


It was great meeting you too, Tony, and all the NorCal guys that could make it. Good to see us SoCal guys aren't the only friendly and fun bunch out here. BTW, I hung up the bouncer hat a long time ago, but I am still usually much bigger than the bouncers at the clubs I go to

That is terrible Michael, I hope it all gets sorted for you easily and as cheaply as possible.

Yup, no problem man. I was concerned that I'll have to go find you on the way down. I was worried because I had Melvin following me (and I didn't have his number at the time), and thought "oh crap", the guy might follow me all the way, where the hell I go, lol.

Anyway, it worked out well. A few of us went to the Camarillo Outlet, and the girls brought home a few shoes and dress, hah.

Kathy said that she's the big winner -- she enjoyed the meet, and got to shop afterwards!
