THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

Andre Swanson of Fat Fabrications is in Southern California for another week or so.
His big job is San Diego has been delayed, so he will not be coming here again for awhile.
If there is enough interest, we maybe able to lurer him and Jim LaGuardia to San Diego for a day or two.
We could have a mini Tech Day. If there is enough work to make it worth their while, they would come down.
So Pinzy Guys is anyone interested? We have a host in AceBee. We could knock out a lot of maintenance, wants and needs with extra hands and the experts available for the bigger jobs.

Chime if you are interested.


Jim T

I would be all over it. Thank you for trying to.put this toegether.

I am very interested depending on the date and time. It would be hard for me to get out there on Saturday. Sunday would be better.

If we hope to get Jim and Andre to come, we need to get some commitments of paying work.
Unfortunately burgers and beer will not be enough to lure them down.
AceBee needs his exhaust welded. I’ll be fixing my own issues and helping others.
If we don't do this now we may not see FatFab out here for another six months or more. If he has work he will stick around.

Is this still a solid date for Sunday the 13th of Feb. If so, where are we meeting? When should everyone show up? Can I come the night before and camp out somewhere? Who all is coming?

Can these questions be answered on the forum? I have no cell coverage here at Vini's compound but the internet works.

Thanks.

Forgot to mention.

I will have several double jerry can racks, hub steps, hi-lift mounts, and Pinz
T shirts available for sale at the meet.

Vini also expressed a desire to show up and get his genset wired in and plumbed by Jim.

Vince. I have your addapter covered and will be in Ramona if you show.

Unfortunately I have to sit this one out as I recover from a dislocated rt ankle

I would like to come and hang out. Talk about Pinzgauers and look at what Andre has for sale. I think someone needs to step up and post a date, time and location if this is going to happen. Sunday would be best for me. So who is in charge?

well we don't have anyone "in charge" if AceBee is still willing to host, I don't see why we could not do it sunday. I have girl scout cookie sales from 11-1 on sunday but thats local and don't have a problem being there before and after. Andre and Vinny said they could make it on sunday.
so thats: Gear, Jorgo, Andre, Vinny, AceBee and ARVops? any one else willing to do sunday?

So What say you Acebee?

I'll even shuttle jim down and prop him up in a lawn chair to get his expertice pressent.

I would love to come up to Ramona but UberPinz has a valve seal oil leak and operating it in the daytime would result in a ticket from the CHP or the local fuzz. My mog is running just fine so it does not to have to be worked on.

A valve job is a little more then I think Jim L. wants to work on right now anyway (esp since his injury).

Jay and Donna
San Diego

I got a Phone thumbs up from AceBee. so he is a go.

Jay bring the mog. It would be great to see you and Donna again. Pinz guys aren’t quite as snobbish as the Mercedes guys. Some of the pinz guys may not be familiar with the Mog. They may like to see it.

ok - since this is all getting official & uppity..i shall try & get the lawn mowed - but if not - oh well...
