Sunday morning took the 37 seconds to pull the relay... bend pin 18... and slap it back in. Went for a three block cruise opening the top while driving at ~30 MPH. Closed it at ~30MPH. Works great. Free convenience mod.

The only downside is that employing that feature means no karate chop.

Cheers!
Just did this. Another up side is putting the roof up in slow moving traffic when rain starts.

I was in your neck of the woods,(stayed at the best Western on 62 in Yucca), for Memorial Day weekend. Joshua tree, Pappy& Harriet’s, stoned and dusted. Love the area but it was unseasonably cold Sunday night in the mountains for stoned and dusted. Planning to return.

Adjusted parking brake and then installed new fuel filter. Car has ~175k kms (109k miles) on the dial now.

Thinking fuel pump next. I'm getting sporadic hesitation when I pin the gas, like it's not getting enough fuel. So thinking the fuel pump is on it's last legs and I don't want to get stranded. Might as well do water pump as well.

The Best Western... right up the street from me. Connect with me next time you're in town. We'll race up and down the pass. I'm up to 100MPH. Coming up the curves.
