Wow, I think, we the AAFO,( Alamo Area Fiero Owners), should hold the the meeting in Plugerville. That way we could be the PAFO. Cool right. See you all in San Antonio.
And...The Red River Ruckus has only been at the Red River Twice, right? I may have missed one. It is another great event for the Texas, OK and surounding Fiero owners. It makes me sad when I can't come to both Round-Up and Ruckus.

Anybody remember Ken & Heidi?? Well, we are still alive, just stuck under a rock for the past year or so. The economic downturn was a major life change for us. After being laid off, I started my own business. This resulted in long hours and working weekends. Then my dream job appeared so I jumped on it. Turns out, this job is also long hours including weekends. But, at least I love the work and admire the business.
Anyway, unfortunately, our Fiero is not ready for the Round-Up. It’s in sad need of maintenance; transmission bearings are loose and noisy, A/C clutch is dead, paint is pealing, needs new rear toe-links, parking brake needs adjustment, and on and on… with no time to deal with it. Regardless, Heidi has sent in our registration, so ready or not, we will be there – including our ragged pride and joy Fiero.
Oh yeah the two that think the electric banana is better than the Fiero or the owners of one of the few fieros that beat my car in a show or the only other members of the austin fiero club
LOL

Whittling away at my list of "to do's" before the Round up. Got the Drivers door hinges rebuilt and a new dew wipe installed today along with rebuilding the manual adjustable mirror. I got to get after it to get it all done.

I need to replace both belts....have the belts, just didn't get to it this week. Then I need to check the hoses and flush the coolant. After that, she should be ready to roll....or as ready as a 24 year old car will ever be for a 1200 mile trip LOL. I will have beaucoup tools with me just in case.
I am seriously looking forward to a long Fiero road trip. I haven't had the car out on the highway in a couple of years. And travelling with the Katatak crew will be more fun than you can imagine.
Paul, is there any chance the 85 will be there? I would like to see it once again. Mike
Hi Mike...yes we will be bring both the 85 and the 88. I have a little work to do on the 85 because it dies after you drive for a while...but I have parts coming in this week that should fixer up. looking forward to meet you...oh are you going to bring the new dash you are making...so we can all drool over it

No I will be Fiero-less. I`m still not finished with the dash as I have had a couple of design changes. I`m not working on it this week because I`m trying to stay inside out of the pollen laden air. My band is recording a demo this weekend and after me being 100% well for 2 months I have developed a cough. Just my luck, I`m the singer. Mike

Been working hard. Fixed a problem with my muffler falling off the headers, Got some lexan for the back glass, Redid the front hinges to the dual plain types, Started on a hood latch so it will stop the annoying bouncing, Looking at options for side mirrors, Getting my cruise timing setup, Got materials for the dogbone on the way
Still got a long list of things to do, but we will see if it is safe for a trip that far.

Great, sounds like a great group heading in. Without you out of towners, it would just be another AAFO meeting! We appreciate your attendance and want to do anything we can to make your trip a fun filled as possible.
Going to try and have the 3800SC swap I have been working on ready for the trip so I might not be in my car. Hoepfully everything is worked out on it and it can make the trip. Will be a good test run for the car before I take it out to California to the owner....This might mean Revin will have the fastest car at the show but we will see....
