Evening Ya'll,
Bet you wondered what happened to me? Well, we went on the Atomic City Tour with the Idaho British Car Club. The tour was fantastic, once again a destination that one might turn up their nose too turned out to be FANTASTIC! We stopped at INEL and saw EBL1 (Experimental Breeder Reactor 1), well worth the drive all by it's self-have you ever seen a nuclear air plane engine? 256 tons! Just the engine, can't imagine what they had in mind....
Then on to Craters of the Moon for a spectacular view of some incredible country. Then on to Idaho Falls where we stayed in a very nice hotel. We went to an aircraft museum on Friday and had our only 'incident', we lost our license plate and almost took out a motorcyclist according to our friend who was following us. Thank Goodness that it missed him! Then we had a car show on Saturday Morning, great turn out from the locals but about noon it started to rain, first time that we've ever been rained out! Then Saturday evening we had a catered dinner in the Idaho Museum where they had a very fun "Steam Punk" exposition.
RJ went on to receive 1st place in our group and I received 2nd, couldn't have been happier to see Michelle take first!!!!
The drive back on Sunday was an adventure, Rick who drives a very nice TR6 started having fuel pump problems and after several stops he was able to get it to work once he sorted the wiring to it. Well he must have had bad Karma or he was just so unhappy with that fuel pump he 'decided' to take it out by running over a large rock! I happened to have the exact same type of fuel pump in the boot so after a bit of a struggle for Rick he was able to install the new one, after a couple more false starts we got back on the road and had a late lunch in Stanley-Thanks Rick! and then back on home.
Monday was a recovery day but got back to CD today and disassembled the passenger side front suspension. Then spent the afternoon minus a couple of hours for a Mtn Bike ride cleaning the parts for painting.
That's it for today, will paint tomorrow, pull off the steering rack so that I can replace the rubber steering mounts.
"That's All Folks"
Cheers,

Sounds like a wonderful tour, Lynn. Glad you guys could get away. And if the RH suspension looks as good as the left then this car will compete for trophies too.
