Phewes' Tour to the Bash '08 and Aftermath pics!
Tuesday, July 29, 2008 2:18 PM
I had a blast time.. it was different than last year for sure. I had a great time with the group. We wished the distance between the hotel and our rental cottage was closer. Oh well... hope for a better planning next year. Sorry I didnt get a chance to spend more time and party with you guys and for some photoshoots too.. kinda sucks but at least you all had a great time so did we!

Looking forward to the 09 Bash already!!























AFTERMATH PICS! after dropping off my gf and went on my 3 hrs trip way back home. I felt some noises and caught some sparks coming out so I pulled over quickly and saw this... @!#$!
Dont know what happened. I ll take everything apart later to find out... grease is all over too. Time for a new axle and caliper bracket. But Im glad Im ok and everything else too. It could be worse. @!#$ happens!!


Me in back seat of cop cruiser at 3 am!


On flatbed




Cracked bracket


home at last! at 6 am!

Glad you came.

I too wished I could have spent much more time you Shawn and yourself. Love both of you guys!

You always have some incident on the way home! Stop that nonsense, will you? Hope it gets repaired, looks like it can be welded/repaired fairly easily.

BTW you inspired me when you pulled up and scraped the hell out of your front, I stood there giving you a face, and you just smiled and shot me the thumbs-up. I think I may have a minor build planned now!

another problem? jeez man! it was nice seeing you again. sucks you guys weren't at the hotel. i could've gone for watching you drop the front of your car on a bunch of empty molson canadian cans again. glad you made it back ok, even with the minor obstacle. looks like you shouldn't have too much trouble taking care of that though. see you next year!

Yeah last year was with bald tires due to an off alignment. This year, no idea why.. but I'll find out soon why this is happening. Also I'll just replace a new bracket instead.
Lol about my front, yeah I try to drive it more this year than I did in years! time for a new paint job during winter time! Its good to know you got inspired and got things planned in mind already!
Yep next year Ben!
Yeah another one again but it wasnt that bad like last year lol!
Thanks all!

Well I was so glad to see that car again this year. I was also glad not to have to tell you that your car was making noise. I felt like a dumb ass trying to explain that you couldn't hear it.

that sucks man, we told you rear brake was loud but it was front. Overall between the 5 cars we had your issue mine overheating and the random part flying off thats not bad for 100 hours of driving all otgether between cars.

There's was time for Darren and others to join everyone at the hotel....not sure exactly why he didn't......
but the changes in show location effected our travelling time, maybe next year we can be closer to the hotel....
I for one am not up for drama....and a crowd the size of the J crew could bring that type of drama..( police ) .....

Darren....glad that didn't happen in the states bro......!

JR- yeah trimming some more on rear quarter lips is one of things to do.. the tire was tore long while ago and now its fine. Yup its always next year! thanks!

Kris - I know my car will never be seen without the air...

Vince- It was great seeing you again bro.. I love your car! and I love every moment of driving it! and you bastard... I want a boost now! thanks for letting me to drive it! Ill always be proud to say Ive driven your car.

Jeff- Yeah it was hard talking to every of people there.. I wasnt sure who who.. NAME TAGS NEXT YEAR PAUL!! next year! more planning, the better..

Justin- yeah I knew it was loud but I couldnt find what I can fix.. we were limited to what we could do at those times. Ya know that! Yea I agree glad we got back to Canada just fine without any big problems.

Will- yea I m glad it didnt happen in states!! lol I was only an hour and half away from home. unlike last year I was stuck in Buffalo which is 3 hours away from my place. Next year I will make it home without towing it! thats my goal! I had great time, ill never impossibly forget those times I had with you guys!


Well I fixed the car yesterday.... BAD!! BAD! it was wheel hub bearing! LOL I replaced both right away.. the hub was pulled out easily! its not even funny..

I realiZed Im that crazy......

What a mess!



OUCH!

How much did it cost you Darren...
I'm thinking about doing both of mine this winter...
Preventative maintenance...!

glad you got it fixed man






RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...

93 bux each.. I realized I dont have any plate/sealer that goes on back of the hub facing both axles to prevent water/dirt from coming onto the bearing. I guess that explains how those hub bearing wore out so quickly and air suspension is one of those reasons too.

Ive done so much on suspension this year.. glad things are looking better now.
