    Are you gonna come say hi next weekend? I am serious about letting you drive my workhorse.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    I am planning to show up on Saturday. What camp site you staying at. With a little luck I will have the VX up and running and drive it out.

    The only thing I didn't get finished tonight was the brake bleeding. A quick search showed what my problem was, needed to pull the ABS and bleed the system with the engine running. I was not happy with the ride height of the front, seemed a little low so I cranked on the torsion bars a bit. I'll get it back on the ground tomorrow and see if it looks better.

    Hmm, I bled mine with a vaccum bleeder, no problems.

    We are renting the underground house. I will PM you my cell, and we can make arrangements to meet up. Cells don't work out there hardly at all. That is why CBs are so crucial for us.

    I've been bleeding my brakes for 2 days now and while it is better it still isn't great. My entire system went dry, including the ABS unit I believe. We've pushed.... vaccumme pulled and done the old pump and hold method.

    I did get to drive it around the yard yesterday!!!
