The hard luck trophy is awarded monthly to the unfortunate individual who has car problems during a club event. Whether the repairs are made during a road side seminar or worst after the vehicle is trailered or towed home to the garage, the outcome is the same. You will be the lucky recipient of the Hard Luck trophy for one month. It's all in good fun and you are asked to add some small and hopefully light weight item that represents the nature of your break down. The old trophy had become so heavy that it has been retired but a new one has been made. Bill Corson was the first recipient of the new trophy. Below are some of our most recent Lucky winners.
========================================================================================
Ed Woodruff had a wild ride getting from San
Diego to Temecula. It seems he lost
the brake clevis and pin while travel north on the I-15 to Laughlin.
A replacement part was located and installed with a minimum of delay.
The rest of the trip to Laughlin gave him no more problem.
Ron Peterson took
home the trophy last month, he had multiple problems (overheating &
distributor) while on the Orange County tour back in March.
Thank goodness the problems didn’t start till we arrived
in the City of Orange, and the vehicle came
home on a trailer.
Jimm
Kiklis was last months lucky winner of the hard luck trophy, way to go Jimm!
He had a slight problem with his water pump during the
Feb. back country tour. On
the way home it became apparent that the only thing they could do was cut the
fan belt, so Arlyn with all the skill of a samurai soldier cut that fan belt.
Jimm and Sharon made it home and into the garage before the engine just
couldn’t take any more. With one
final hiss, Old Faithful pull, but
they were home safe and sound and all the repairs have been made.
Again!
