Tidbits on the Internet !
--- "I know this thread is getting old by now but lemme tell y'all what I did that makes BJ8 carb removal a (relative) breeze. I replace the 5/16" hex nuts (which require a 1/2" wrench) with 5/16-24 Jet Nuts from a Pegasus Racing catalog. These have a reduced hex (read 3/8" wrench) but the surface area is the same as the regular nut. Believe me, it's a zillion times easier to work with the smaller wrench. Just my 2-cents-worth...."

--- *Tour & Rally*British Car Week is coming up May 31. This is a great opportunity to show everyone your affinity for any British marque. Plus let's not forget there are up to 4 COY points eligible for getting your car out during that week.So what better way to do that than with a Tour. I've put together an overnight tour beginning Saturday May 31 and returning June 1. Please see the attached flyer for more details. Our host hotel will be the Best Western Columbia River Inn in Cascade Locks,OR. Reservations can be made by calling 1-800-595-7108. I have a block of 10 rooms available - all with river views. Rooms with balconies are $109 +tax, rooms without balconies are $99 + tax. *The block of rooms will be released on May 12 so call now to get your rooms*. Be sure to ask for the Austin Healey Club rate when you call. There will be a hospitality suite at the hotel for everyone to enjoy some snacks & beverages. And I'll figure something out for dinner the night of May 31 - more details to come later. This is open to all British cars or anyone else needing to drive their BJ9 - so bring your friends and their MG. *Dinner & Awards*The tour and rally are on May 31 - June 1. Rally results and another opportunity to get your car out during the week will be on *Wednesday June4th*. We'll get together for some pizza and good times at Round Table Pizzain Issaquah. Join us even if you can't make the tour & rally and you might just earn some COY points. More details to follow...
*Help*I can use a little help with some of the activities if anyone is interested in helping out. Please drop me a note.

Additional Information!
Good afternoon Fellow Club members, Bet you thought it was too late to hit the road? The British Car Week Rally& Tour is just around the corner. The event is set for Saturday May 31 andSunday June 1. Those of you who thought registering early and getting a discount on your room was just too "middle-class" - well have I got a deal for you. Your registration fee for joining the event will be waived. That right - it won't cost you a dime - not a penny. Hell I might just even throw in a free road side tech session to make it that much more of a unique experience. All you have to do is make your reservation at the Best Western, Columbia River Inn, Cascade Locks, Oregon and join us at the meeting point (*Starbucksacross from South Center Mall*) or at the hotel. *The number is 800-595-7108*. Don't delay! Just imagine, you'll be able to tell everyone,even though you paid full price for your room - you didn't have to pay the registration fee. Now that's a bargain! If you haven't done so, drop me a note and let me know you're joining us.
Cheers,Carlos Cruz
PS: *For those of you who have already registered - don't worry there is no fee. Just don't tell the procrastinators.*
--- Time to make your route to Vancouver known!
Beckie and I will leave North Kirkland Brickyard Park and Ride, Exit 22 from I-405 at 9:00 Friday morning and drive back roads and arrive in Vancouver for dinner. There are great roads between here and there and we know some of them. If you would like to tag along with us, call me or send us an e-mail and we will figure out a way to connect. Most likely taking Bothell/Everett Highway to Marysville, over through the Tulalip reservation up to Stanwood, over to coast and up Chuckanut and then up through Ferndale and Birch Bay to Blaine. Trying out the new clutch so all will be good.
And remember, Beckie is known as miss cookie for a reason.
