Eric Dremel Activities Coordinator From edremel at comcast.net Sat Feb 2 12:44:36 2008 From: edremel at comcast.net (Eric Dremel) Date: Sat, 02 Feb 2008 11:44:36 -0800 Subject: San Diego Conclave - Car Shipping Survey Message-ID: I've had some inquiries regarding the 08 Conclave regarding the option of shipping cars to/from San Diego. Two quotes were solicited from FedEx/Passport and Intercity Lines. I recommend Intercity as they not only had the most competitive price but also better insurance and car handling protocols. I understand that several clubs used Intercity to transport cars to last year's Conclave in Vermont without difficulty. The cost is approximately $650.00 per car one way. The only requisites are that the club must designate a single pick up point & a single drop off point and the number of cars must fill the truck to capacity which is 7 cars. The costs associated with gas, lodging & meals to drive one way would likely be equal to Intercity's shipping quote. When one factors in the cost of one-way airfare this does make shipping a bit more expensive that driving both ways. The real benefit is that it helps with those who are unable to devote the necessary time or to drive round trip. Dare I mention the comfort factor? I have two survey questions: 1) Who is interested in this option? 2) Preferred routing? a) Ship to San Diego & drive back? b) Drive to San Diego & ship home? I understand that some club members are not on the e-mail distribution list so please share this information with anyone you feel is interested. Thanks for your help spreading the word! Please e-mail me ASAP with your survey responses.

I've had the unit installed now for about eight years with no issues at all. It's been solid, reliable every time I turn the key. They are easy enough to install. Simply follow the included instructions. When shopping for a unit, keep in mind they have different units for positive and negative ground applications. So make sure you use the appropriate unit for your car. One nice benefit of the units are their invisibility. Nobody will know you have one when you open the bonnet. The coil can even be made more "original" looking by putting a Lucas label on it's body. These are available through the Moss catalog or other sources. I hope that helps.

I have a tentative route planned that will make it a three-day drive from here in Portland. Day One - South on I-5 to Eugene, then cut over to the coast and down to Eureka, California, for the first night. About 425 miles. Day Two - Down Highway 101 to King City, California. About 450 miles. Day Three - Continue down 101 to San Diego. About 375 miles. It may rate as slightly ambitious for some, but I am used to long drives (600-800 miles in one day doesn't phase me) and actually seems rather leisurely. What are your plans? Care to join me?

Can anyone help me identify two distributers which belong to our Sprite Mk 1 here in Germany, 1) When we bought the car in 1989 it came with a distributer numbered 43D4, yes it is 43 and not 45D4 (other numbers: 41403D 1099) and it is without a vacuum advance unit. I had a lot of problems adjusting it but I got it figured out but never very happy with it. Which Brit does this distributer belong to? I want to install the one noted below. 2) I have another distributer which I think is an original Sprite Mk 1 one, in very good shape but I can4t identify it based on the numbers on it: 40561F BN260 859. Is this a 25D4? It has a vacuum advance unit. The car is positive earth.

Their replies follow. It appears the SB 6900 bill is dead for this session, but we'd better stay tuned. Bob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert: Thank you for your e-mail regarding SB 6900 (establishing vehicle engine displacement and emissions fees). SB 6900 would establish a new carbon tax based on the size of a vehicle engine and eventually charges the fee based on the amount of carbon emitted per mile. This bill would be a massive tax increase on working families simply for owning a motor vehicle. According to the Office of Financial Management, SB 6900 would result in a $1.7 billion tax increase just in the first five years of implementation and could be substantially higher in future years. I wanted to provide you with a quick update and let you know that SB 6900 failed to pass out of the Senate prior to the cut-off deadline for bills to pass out of their House of origin, which was February 19, 2008. Therefore, it is not likely that this bill will be successful this Session. I wanted to let you know that for the most part, if a bill has not passed out of their House of origin, it is no longer eligible for further consideration. However, there are always exceptions. If for any reason SB 6900 is resurrected and makes its way through the Legislative process I will NOT be supporting this bill. This bill would penalize those who need to drive bigger vehicles (such as trucks or SUVs) for family or business reasons. The bill also singles out people who drive older vehicles because of financial or other reasons. Again, thank you for taking the time to contact my office. Your input helps to better serve the constituents of the 20th Legislative District. Sincerely, Richard DeBolt Republican Leader 20th Legislative District (786) 786-7896 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Robert, Thank you for taking the time to email me in regards to Senate Bill 6900. As you may know, this session is a short session - only sixty days - and because of it, not all bills can be heard or passed. SB 6900 was sitting on the Senate Committee on Water and Energy & Telecommunications, but on the 5th of February, this bill was held in executive session where it was referred to Senate Transportation. Just for your information, this bill has not held a public hearing, and with the cut off date being last week, this bill is dead - unless by some miraculous miracle, this bill will not be heard of again of this session. If this bill were to be reintroduced again next session, I would vote adamantly against it. Again, thank you for your email, if you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me again. Best Wishes, Senator Dan Swecker 20th Legislative District (360) 756.763 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And lastly, this from Representative Gary Alexander's office: This bill is absurd. Rep Alexander wouldn't even consider voting for it. Luckily, it looks like the bill won't come up for a vote.

(See bill summary and responses to my query below, and attachment for the full bill.)

SB 6923 missed the cut-off date to pass out of the Transportation Committee and also missed the deadline for bills to pass out of their House of Origin. Therefore, it is very unlikely that this bill will be successful this Session. Sincerely, Richard DeBolt Republican Leader 20th Legislative District (786) 786-7896 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ..................As for Senate Bill 6923, this bill is also currently dead for this session. The bill was referred into the Senate Transportation Committee, but also never received a public hearing. Again, thank you for your email, if you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me again. Best Wishes, Senator Dan Swecker 20th Legislative District (360) 756.763 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This bill has the same fate as SB 6900. It's going nowhere. (Rep. Gary Alexander) [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pdf which had a name of Senate Bill 6923 Gas Tax.pdf]
