Took couple of pics of an Orange Vette at the car show in BG last weekend.
Thought of our own Mark Dickie when I saw the Orange Crush bottles in his display, but Mark's car is much nicer.

Another view of his display...look closely for the orange crush six pack.

ZO6 AL-X · 07-22-2008, 08:14 PM

The six-pack is a nice touch.

Mark what was the diagnosis on your motor last year?

If Mark makes his six pack something like Sam Adams, Mark's six pack will trump Orange Crush'R's six pack.

Last year, right before the Fest (like the day before I was supposed to leave), a valve broke right where the platter is is welded to the stem. We got that fixed, but not in time for the Fest.

Then this year, on the way back from the WinterFest I ran into another problem just as I was entering Houston on my way home to FLA. It ended up being a defective fuel injector that got stuck wide open and filled the cylinder with fuel, hydrolocking the engine. Luckily damage was minor, replaced the connecting rod (which had bent 45 degrees) and the piston, and all the fuel injectors, and Orange Krush is back on the road and ready for the Fest.
